121001 - Follow up ref SDS 96 0000, ref SDS 87 0000.
121002 -
121003 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Greg Oxton responding to the letter sent
121004 - to him, ref DIP 1 0001, answering Greg's questions on 021011 about SDS
121005 - and Com Metrics. ref SDS 96 FG3K

121007 - Greg says today...
121008 -
121009 -     Thanks for sharing your perspective.  It is an enlightened view!
121010 -
121011 -     I manage an organization called the Consortium for Service
121012 -     Innovation and it seems that we are working on some things that
121013 -     align with some of what you are talking about and might be
121014 -     interested in. Please feel free to browse our web site at
121015 -     www.serviceinnovation.org  and the Betty program at
121016 -     www.serviceinnovation.org/betty
121017 -
121018 -  ..
121019 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 answering Greg's letter, and saying....
121020 -
121021 -   1.  Just a quick follow up on your letter received 021014, shown
121022 -       below, the name of your organization fits the model for
121023 -       innovation to provide "intelligence" support services through a
121024 -       system of "Communication Metrics," reported in a government
121025 -       study on 970328. ref DRP 4 6172
121026 -
121027 -        ..
121028 -   2.  These days, people fairly readily recognize the need for
121029 -       "intelligence" support, ref DIT 1 JY7O, when planes bump into
121030 -       buildings, as occurred on 010911, ref SDS 58 0001,
121031 -
121032 -        ..
121033 -   3.  People also recognize the need for better productivity to lift
121034 -       earnings and stock prices, and there is growing awareness that
121035 -       information overload reduces productivity. ref DIT 1 P07J
121036 -       However, an innovation loop prevents using "intelligence"
121037 -       services to add alignment that makes information useful.  The
121038 -       tools people use to solve problems by holding meetings, making
121039 -       calls or sending an email sow the seeds of error, loss,
121040 -       conflict, crisis and calamity due to meaning drift that is
121041 -       compounded by information overload, as explained in POIMS.
121042 -       ref OF 1 049O
121043 -
121044 -        ..
121045 -   4.  This dilemma needs a service innovation to complement the role
121046 -       of accountants for adding alignment to daily finances.  A
121047 -       service adding alignment to daily communication improves
121048 -       productivity more than the accepted role of accounting, because
121049 -       communication is a predicate to action that prevents mistakes
121050 -       and discovers opportunity that improve the bottom line.
121051 -       ref DIT 1 T18L
121052 -
121053 -        ..
121054 -   5.  Communication Metrics services to strengthen intelligence in
121055 -       government and industry might therefore fit CSI's work promoting
121056 -       innovation in services.  Looking through your website for
121057 -       "Betty" I gathered that you are doing a lot to improve call
121058 -       centers for technical support, reflected by sponsorship from
121059 -       Oracle, Microsoft, HP, and others.  Does the opportunity for
121060 -       adding "intelligence" services for management, engineering,
121061 -       education and so on fit the model of innovation you are
121062 -       advancing? ref DIT 1 G29J
