151007 - proposal to Brad and others at UCB connected with the CITRIS project
151008 - for using SDS to support the CITRIS project as a means to demonstrate
151009 - SDS technology for accomplishing CITRIS goals and develop funding to

151064 -
151065 -     Brad,
151066 -
151067 -     Per your request for technology that supports a daily journal,
151068 -     ref SDS 0 KL6L, I am proposing an innovation that aligns with
151069 -     CITRIS objectives to advance the state of the art in several
151070 -     fields: technology, science, management, education and health care
151071 -     to name a few.
151072 -
151073 -     Journaling falls generally in the field of Knowledge Management,
151074 -     along with tools for collaboration, like Klogs, Blogs, Wiki and
151075 -     similar weblog efforts to use technology for strengthening basic
151076 -     human cognition.  Dave Snowden reports research by IBM in the May
151077 -     issue of the Journal of Knowledge Management that shows KM has,
151078 -     unfortunately, failed to meet expectations over the past ten (10)
151079 -     years or so.  Dave argues a new effort should aim to help people
151080 -     think through stories separated by context.  Your interest in
151081 -     journaling fits this model and can be implemented by SDS.
151083 -      ..
151084 -     The Schedule Diary System (SDS) is a software program developed by
151085 -     Rod Welch that integrates time and information management.  Welch
151086 -     argues in POIMS that this design provides an intelligence process
151087 -     to convert information into knowledge. ref OF 1 6649  Your resume
151088 -     suggests experience and expertise that fits the SDS model by
151089 -     leveraging interest in journaling. For example, Henry Kissinger
151090 -     notes in his book Diplomacy that the evolution of technology at
151091 -     the dawn of the 21st century creates a growing imbalance between
151092 -     information and understanding, because there is too little time
151093 -     for analysis to create a coherent story that is linked to
151094 -     objectives, requirements and commitments, reported on June 9,
151095 -     1994. ref SDS 7 4238  SDS helps solve this problem by providing a
151096 -     tool that makes it fast and easy to create a story and segment
151097 -     that story according to context, so that relevant parts can be
151098 -     located quickly and assembled to guide daily work when needed.  In
151099 -     short, SDS augments human intelligence.
151101 -      ..
151102 -     There are eight (8) steps for using SDS explained in the record on
151103 -     December 7, 2000. ref SDS 48 FO5M  These steps enable deliberative
151104 -     analysis for converting a larger share of information from
151105 -     meetings, calls and correspondence, e.g., email, into daily
151106 -     history that conveys knowledge of cause and effect based on
151107 -     context.  SDS further enables organization so that parts of the
151108 -     story can be quickly assembled over days, weeks, months and years
151109 -     that are relevant to needs of the moment.
151111 -      ..
151112 -     SDS is typically implemented through a new business role for
151113 -     Communication Metrics that adds alignment to daily working
151114 -     information, similar to accounting that aligns finances.  Welch
151115 -     explains in a paper on the New World Order Needs Old Time Religion
151116 -     that, in the beginning, a dedicated role is needed for an
151117 -     established culture to absorb new tools and skills. ref OF 2 6369
151118 -     Since communication is a predicate to action, strengthening
151119 -     accuracy of understandings improves productivity and earnings, as
151120 -     reported by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) who published a
151121 -     study on using Com Metrics for contract management. ref DRP 7 0001
151123 -      ..
151124 -     Recent analysis of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) shows
151125 -     that Com Metrics is ideally suited for implementing government
151126 -     regulations that require good management, ref SDS 78 IY4I, but
151127 -     which are not possible to accomplish on a regular basis, for the
151128 -     reasons explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 8536, as seen by a recent
151129 -     example from Aerospace company's work on the International Space Station
151130 -     project reported on May 22. ref SDS 79 RJ4K
151132 -      ..
151133 -     USACE earlier reported that Com Metrics enables an "intelligence"
151134 -     role in management, ref DRP 6 6172, and published a scope of
151135 -     services for using SDS, ref DRP 6 4929, to support a wide range of
151136 -     fields in government, science, research, health care, business,
151137 -     engineering, education, i.e., all forms of knowledge work, based
151138 -     on this new role for adding intelligence to information.  Welch's
151139 -     paper on New World Order Needs Old Time Religion explains that
151140 -     intelligence is common in the military, but is a new role in
151141 -     civilian life, because expanding complexity created by increased
151142 -     population and faster technology makes communication the biggest
151143 -     risk in enterprise. ref OF 2 02EU
151145 -      ..
151146 -     Your colleague in the Clinton Administration, Leon Fureth, noted
151147 -     this growing risk in a talk at George Washington University
151148 -     broadcast by CSPAN on 011113. ref SDS 76 019O
151150 -      ..
151151 -     I learned about SDS and Com Metrics from participating over the
151152 -     past several years in an ad hoc project sponsored by SRI
151153 -     International to support Doug Engelbart's goals for an OHS/DKR
151154 -     capability.  Rod Welch was invited to support this effort, and
151155 -     everyone became aware of SDS work product by receiving the record
151156 -     of meetings and other communication on a regular basis.  An
151157 -     example is in the record on October 17, 2000. ref SDS 43 1575
151159 -      ..
151160 -     Professor Joseph Ransdell with Texas Tech University describes
151161 -     Communication Metrics in a letter on July 16, 2000 as enabling a
151162 -     coherent theory of management that has been sought since the 17th
151163 -     century. ref SDS 38 7838
151165 -      ..
151166 -     More recently, Doctor Patrick Lincoln, Ph.D., Director of Computer
151167 -     Science with SRI International, commented favorably on experience
151168 -     with Communication Metrics on the Engelbart project for an
151169 -     OHS/DKR. (reported on 020614, ref SDS 80 MM5F)  Doctor Lincoln
151170 -     recommends SDS for research work where a larger body of experience
151171 -     can be developed showing that this method is effective for adding
151172 -     intelligence to daily management.
151174 -      ..
151175 -     This fits the mission of CITRIS reviewed on September 25, 2001.
151176 -     ref SDS 74 JL6H
151178 -      ..
151179 -     Accordingly, I propose consideration of deploying SDS for Com
151180 -     Metrics to support daily operations of CITRIS.  This will
151181 -     accomplish your immediate objective to develop a journal, and
151182 -     provide evaluation of the broader use of technology for enabling
151183 -     an "intelligence" role explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 2300  One of
151184 -     the critical issues to be researched is the level of effort for
151185 -     creating skills to use SDS for Com Metrics, and so Rod is
151186 -     suggesting that I undertake this assignment.  If successful, you
151187 -     and/or colleagues would transition over the course of the project
151188 -     to acquire these new skills for adding "intelligence" to daily
151189 -     information.
151191 -      ..
151192 -     If successful, CITRIS would launch a revolution in education,
151193 -     government and industry by helping to deploy the first major
151194 -     advance in alphabet technology in 2,000 years. ref OF 1 ER3G Since
151195 -     the alphabet is the underlying engine of civilization, this is a
151196 -     big opportunity for CITRIS and the nation to take a quantum leap
151197 -     in human performance, as explained in the NWO. ref OF 2 7055
151199 -      ..
151200 -     I would be pleased to arrange a demonstration so we can discuss
151201 -     how CITRIS can support this remarkable opportunity.
