540703 - We reviewed growing despair about failure to accomplish accurate
540704 - communication that causes continual bumbling, shown by cost overruns
540705 - on government contracts, lower productivity, earnings and stock
540706 - prices, shown by Enron's collapse, reported on 020204, ref SDS 11
540707 - 0001, because too many people are having too many problems, as

540716 - 4238  On 020608 Dave Snowden reported research at IBM showing efforts
540717 - to create technology for knowledge management have not been effective.
540718 - ref SDS 13 ZN6I  Despite great efforts, no on else has improved
540719 - communication, reported on 020608. ref SDS 13 QV5G  With the result on
540720 - 020820 that people are giving up on accuracy in communication.
540721 - ref SDS 16 V66I  Like Dave Snowden's article, Peter Drucker earlier
540722 - warned that people are giving up on communication because the task is
540723 - too complex using technologies everybody likes.
540725 -  ..
540726 - Stuart said government regulations call for accurate communication,
540727 - and require everybody to use popular Microsoft programs that are fast
540728 - and easy to learn and use for information technology, so there isn't
540729 - enough time to follow regulations on using good management to save
540730 - time and money by working intelligently to "connect the dots" using an
540731 - audit trail showing traceability to original sources. see the record
540732 - on 950721. ref SDS 3 1740
540733 -
540734 -     This aligns with Stuart's report on 020107 that everybody likes
540735 -     Microsoft programs at DOD. ref SDS 9 LQ5K  Later on 020504
540736 -     research shows that FAR requires accurate communiation based on
540737 -     accurate record of organizational memory. ref SDS 12 IY4I  FAR

540741 -        [On 030826 culture of denial at NASA ignores requirements for
540742 -        good management the way they are ignored everywhere as
540743 -        suggestions, guidelines and upper limits that are beyond reach
540744 -        with tools approved for use; ignoring requirements is faster
540745 -        and easier than fighting through the system for approval to get
540746 -        what is needed, because everybody is busy setting new action
540747 -        items in meetings so nobody has time to notice that action
540748 -        items on requirements, regulations and specifications are being
540749 -        ignored. ref SDS 24 8K4G

540752 -        [On 040203 research shows bureaucracy imposes command and

540758 -     On 001126 Grant Bowman said it is too hard to make communication
540759 -     accurate using Microsoft technology everybody likes.  He asked if
540760 -     people are supposed to change tools in order to make communication
540761 -     accurate? ref SDS 5 X8PW
540763 -      ..
540764 -     On 010425 Morris Jones reported that use cases show SDS is a
540765 -     utopia compared to tools everybody likes, because SDS has
540766 -     everything in the right place at the right time.

540769 - We reviewed recent correspondence on 020812 where people in technology
540770 - have given up on using good management. ref SDS 14 TV9K

540773 - A week or so later, on 020820 people are giving up on good management
540774 - because accuracy takes too much time, ref SDS 15 O1QQ, using Microsoft
540775 - technology that everybody likes. ref SDS 15 UV6G  Rather use
540776 - technology that makes saving time and money fast and easy, people are

540782 - Stuart asked how long it takes to create a connected record to verify
540783 - accuracy of communication, as called out by FAR, shown on 020504?
540784 - ref SDS 12 XV7L  This reflects Doug Engelbart report on 000327 that
540785 - experience at SRI introducing new systems requires persistant exposure
540786 - and support. ref SDS 4 1530

540789 - We reviewed the process using explicit links for precision access in
540790 - SDS records that take a few minutes to learn and only seconds to use,
540791 - reported on 020820, ref SDS 15 RA5M, and thereby enables a 3-layer
540792 - architecture for transformation from information to a culture of
540793 - knowledge, planned on 020820. ref SDS 17 0001

540837 - Stuart agreed to try an experiment showing how much time and effort is
540838 - required to create a connected record using explicit links in SDS work
540839 - product.  He asked how to do it?  We stepped through the steps to
540840 - capture an explicit link with the right mouse button and copying the
540841 - link address, then enter it in an email.  After about 30 seconds or
540842 - so, Stuart said he thinks he understands the procedure, and was
540843 - suprised to discover it is a lot faster and easier than he expected.
