452506 - Called and talked to Stuart about the letter, ref DIP 3 0001, on
452507 - 020912 thanking Stuart for work and investing time to demonstrte that
452508 - creating a connected record of intelligence to comply with FAR
452509 - requirements for good management is fast and easy using SDS explicit
452510 - links.
452512 -  ..
452513 - In our discussion this morning, Stuart seemed to recognize that SDS is
452514 - a unique capability for enabling people to document the work and it
452515 - provides access better than other methods, including those mentioned in
452516 - his letter on 020912. ref SDS 33 LZ5K
452518 -  ..
452519 - Stuart was discouraged about the challenge of leadership to help
452520 - people overcome ignorance, fear and denial that improvement to comply
452521 - with FAR requirements for good management is essential to save
452522 - taxpayer's money, and is fast and easy.
452524 -  ..
452525 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 saying...
452526 -
452527 -   1.  Confirming our telephone discussion today, it is a big job, and
452528 -       can be frustrating to find appropriate ways for spreading the
452529 -       word about your discovery on 020912 that SDS saves time and
452530 -       money for DOD, contractors and taxpayers.  As related by Don
452531 -       Rumsfeld in his talk to the War College on 020131, ref SDS 20
452532 -       6L5K, SDS needs a capable and persistant champion within DOD for
452533 -       transfomration to a new way of working intelligently that
452534 -       connects the dots of daily work into patterns of cause and
452535 -       effect that reveal trends in time to avoid problems by taking
452536 -       effective action. ref SDS 33 HH92
452538 -        ..
452539 -   2.  Roy Roebuck's letter reviewed on 020217, ref SDS 21 1332 shows
452540 -       how a DOD program manager explains SDS support for getting
452541 -       things done correclty, on time and within budget. ref SDS 21
452542 -       9360  It is fast and easy to send an email, linking Roy's
452543 -       analysis of SDS, ref SDS 21 3105, to colleageus at DOD, who want
452544 -       a fast and easy way to use good management for improving
452545 -       contract performance to save time and money. ref DIT 1 R16H
452546 -
452547 -           [On 030421 called Walt Okono at DOD who has worked with Roy
452548 -           and seems to share the same ideas on management; Walt is
452549 -           reviewig SDS and Com Metrics for his assignment to develop
452550 -           an architecture to make finding information faster and
452551 -           easier. ref SDS 37 TK46
452553 -        ..
452554 -   3.  Undoubtedly there are many at DOD who share this objective, so,
452555 -       the only issue is implementation. One reason people tend to deny
452556 -       the need for SDS is because it seems beyond reach to learn a new
452557 -       way of working.  "Intelligence" seems funny forien and alien
452558 -       because investing time for analysis to connect the dots is not a
452559 -       traditional function of management, as explained in POIMS.
452560 -       ref OF 2 1850 This suggests a new work role, like your
452561 -       assignment as a Field Service Representative, and like a
452562 -       Contracting Office, is needed to use SDS for adding
452563 -       "intelligence" to daily management. ref DIT 1 R23H
452565 -        ..
452566 -   4.  Not everyone in DOD knows how to prepare a PERT or CPM chart;
452567 -       not everyone can use a WBS; not everyone is an accountant, nor a
452568 -       cost engineer who can use C/SCSC; not everyone is a computer
452569 -       network or software engineer, yet a few people in DOD are
452570 -       performing each of these tasks that enable everybody else to
452571 -       work more efficiently.  That is the model for transformation to
452572 -       a new way of working intelligently.  Only a few people are
452573 -       needed to use SDS for analyzing daily communication that enables
452574 -       everybody else to work more productively by connecting the dots
452575 -       between daily events and objectives, requirements and
452576 -       commitments. ref DIT 1 JX4F
452578 -        ..
452579 -   5.  You related that Contracting Officers and support staff are
452580 -       primarily focused on ensuring compliance with contract
452581 -       specifications, ref DIT 1 JX52  This aligns with FAR
452582 -       requirements calling for documentation of performance, shown in
452583 -       the record on 020504. ref SDS 23 IY4I

520508 -   6.  You feel that DOD people have a hard time understanding why a
520509 -       new role is needed when they are working hard every day to
520510 -       ensure contract performance. ref DIT 1 646J  Your letter on
520511 -       020912 shows that SDS support for connecting the dots between
520512 -       daily work and requirements is a powerful new capability that
520513 -       has self-evident benefits. ref SDS 33 HH92 October 10, 1994 Bill
520514 -       DeHart explained during a meeting at PG&E why a new work role is
520515 -       needed to make the team more effective on complex projects. PG&E
520516 -       ref SDS 2 M98F As well the report to the Contracting Office on
520517 -       970328 cites General Hatch observing that using SDS for
520518 -       Communication Metrics enables support for daily intelligence on
520519 -       the job. ref DRP 3 6172
520521 -        ..
520522 -   7.  Adding a role for analysis provides a 3-layer architecture that
520523 -       enables everybody to use the same skills they already have
520524 -       without having to learn anything new, except how to use explicit
520525 -       links. ref DIT 1 HH92  You demonstrated the other day on 020905
520526 -       that learning to connect the dots only takes a few minutes,
520527 -       ref SDS 31 DAPW, and your letter on 020912 shows that this new
520528 -       skill makes it fast and easy to connect the dots in only a few
520529 -       seconds. ref SDS 33 HH92  This means that intelligence is not a
520530 -       burden to existing work practice, but, rather SDS empowers
520531 -       people to carry out good management required by FAR for saving
520532 -       time and money.

570811 -        ..
