230803 - Mike's interest in Knowledge Management over the recent period has
230804 - been devoted to writing about his outline program. Writing presents a
230805 - number of opportunities to accomplish Mike's suggestion for explaining
230806 - the essence of SDS, based on POIMS, NWO and the Typical Day Scenario.
230807 - ref SDS 0 3Z9K Progress on KM requires more people using SDS to learn
230808 - how KM advances information management by "studying what works."
230809 - People "doing Knowledge Management" with sDS is the only way to repair
230810 - loss of confidence and despair from failure to improve organization
230811 - (metadata), analysis and linking, which are common to using SDS.
230812 - ref SDS 0 01RX Mike's interest in contributing is a big step forward,
230813 - because one person cannot accomplish transformation alone. ref SDS 0
230814 - 315L Demonstration today showed that Mike's outline program fits the
230815 - vision of Knowledge Management that requires flexible structure in a
230816 - number of critical applications. ref SDS 0 TG92

231205 - We used planning from developing the agenda Mike submitted on 021212
231206 - to guide the meeting today. ref SDS 65 0001
231208 - ..
231209 - Mike has been doing research and writing on KM the past few weeks and
231210 - months to promote his website and software for outlining, see below,
231211 - ref SDS 0 TG92 This is a good opportunity to write about SDS, based
231212 - on POIMS and NWO, which Mike proposed on 021212, ref SDS 65 36GH, and
231213 - was supported by Gary Johnson on 021214...
231214 -
231215 - 1. Distill message down to its essence. ref SDS 67 0S6I
231216 - 2. Restructure content to make it more palatable and accessible.
231217 - 3. Other writers working on POIMS and NWO to explain SDS.

231220 - details. ref SDS 67 36GH

231223 - On 021212 John Deneen discussed getting articles written on SDS.
231224 - ref SDS 64 QD6K
231226 - ..
231227 - These are all good ideas. More people writing about POIMS, and NWO
231228 - builds a culture of knowledge that prepares people for transformation
231229 - to a new way of working, explained on 001219. ref SDS 30 FO5M and
231230 - ref SDS 30 4W4L

231233 - Mike asked about the SDS design scheme. He recalled a schematic
231234 - summarizes architecture and shows details of the SDS structure

231240 - ..
231241 - Would like to see Mike writing on SDS, and support John's efforts to
231242 - engage a professional writer.
231244 - ..
231245 - Mike asked about protecting Welch rights to intellectual property in
231246 - the event a professional writer did a book about POIMS and NWO to
231247 - explain SDS. He is worried others would "steal" or othewise take
231248 - advantage without crediting Welch for the many ideas inherent to SDS,
231249 - cited in Mike's letter on 021212. ref SDS 65 06ZH and ref SDS 65 7M92
231251 - ..
231252 - We reviewed history showing that experience using SDS is needed to
231253 - understand the design for advancing from information to Knowledge
231254 - Management, illustrated by the record on 920215. ref SDS 5 5820 An
231255 - example is Gary Johnson starting to write about ideas in POIMS and NWO
231256 - on converting information into knowledge, meaning drift, intelligence,
231257 - alphabet technology, etc., after gaining experience using SDS.
231258 - Writing builds interest for people to investigate new ideas, and this
231259 - helps grow a culture of knowledge that enables everyone to move
231260 - through the 50 year period for good ideas to become established in the
231261 - culture, as Gary brought up on 011210. ref SDS 35 R66K
231263 - ..
231264 - Even though SDS is explained in POIMS, it is hard to understand the
231265 - ideas merely from reading in a book or an article, until after people
231266 - gain experience using SDS. An example is the Plan, Perform, Report
231267 - intelligence cycle in POIMS, ref OF 2 6649, and illustrated by a use
231268 - case. ref OF 2 5312 That is why there has been no progress on KM and
231269 - everyone has given up, reported on 020608. ref SDS 41 QV5G The only
231270 - solution is tryint to give people experience doing KM, and so I have
231271 - begun work on getting more people to use SDS, and then write about
231272 - their ideas on management and technology based on that experience and
231273 - the narrative in POIMS, NWO and the Typical Day Scenrio, as reported
231274 - on 020924. ref SDS 52 0001
231276 - ..
231277 - Mike indicated today that so far his writing on KM has not mentioned
231278 - SDS, POIMS and NWO because the audience for his outliner is narrower
231279 - than the scope of SDS. One idea might be to explain outlining is a
231280 - powerful part of flexible structure, along with organic structure,
231281 - which Mike describes as hierarchical organization, and POIMS says this
231282 - is critical to SDS, ref OF 2 M17I, based on analysis in the record for
231283 - 890523. ref SDS 1 P13O

260402 - Writing Opportunities to Distill and Sharpen Understanding of SDS
260403 -
260404 - There are many subjects for people to write about Knowledge
260405 - Management that are covered in POIMS, NWO and the Typical Day
260406 - Scenario....
260407 -
260408 -
260409 - 1. SDS design integrates management, computer and cognitive
260410 - science, see NWO, ref OF 4 075N, to enable transformation
260411 - from IT to a culture of knowledge. see POIMS. ref OF 2 SV5N
260413 - ..
260414 - 2. SDS enables good practice called out by management standards

260421 - civilization to a new level by improving alphabet technology,
260422 - explained in POIMS. ref OF 2 JE6L
260424 - ..
260425 - 3. SDS records on the Internet provide a continual use case for
260426 - Knowledge Management, despite difficulties others have
260427 - encountered, reported for example by....

260430 - Jeremy Campbell's book explains why artificial intelligence
260431 - failed, reviewed on 900303. ref SDS 3 0001

260442 - People have give up on key features for Knowledge Management,
260443 - reported on 021212. ref SDS 65 WSDJ
260445 - ..
260446 - Mike's idea to write about SDS can increase the opportunity
260447 - for people to discover how augmenting intelligence succeeds by
260448 - a system of Communication Metrics. This enables more people
260449 - to advance beyond information management, as indicated by the
260450 - list on 010907, showing people who have responded without
260451 - solicitation to SDS records on the Internet. ref SDS 32 0P8P
260453 - ..

260455 - time and money, see analysis on 010924. ref SDS 33 JS6G
260457 - ..
260458 - Solution for improving management and communication has been
260459 - sought since at least the 17th century, and so should be
260460 - expected to be resisted by powerful forces that maintain the
260461 - status quo, reported on 000716. ref SDS 24 7838
260463 - ..
260464 - Overcoming fear of accountability is a significant cultural
260465 - hurrdle reviewed with Justice Stanley Mosk on 911130,
260466 - ref SDS 4 0001, reviewed again on 980405 showing people are
260467 - more afraid of the light to see and understand, than of the
260468 - dark imposed by ignorance. ref SDS 15 5065
260469 -
260470 - [...below, overcoming ignorance, fear and denial requires
260471 - more people using SDS that shows the benefits of knowledge
260472 - for avoiding mistakes far outweigh risk of accountability
260473 - for failing to avoid mistakes. ref SDS 0 318I
260475 - ..
260476 - 5. Human biology is wired for reacting in the moment taking
260477 - immediate action, and so avers investing time for obtaining
260478 - delayed rewards inherent to knowledge formation. see POIMS,
260479 - ref OF 2 8536

340844 - ..
340845 - As a result, Mike learning and using SDS, like Gary Johnson,
340846 - and others, presents an opportunity to accomplish goals for
340847 - using KM and developing technology that advances IT.
340849 - ..
340850 - There seems to be about 30K people a month visiting SDS records
340851 - on the Internet. There has been no investigation on how much
340852 - of this is from uploading files to update the record, which
340853 - occurs daily. Boosting visitors to 100K, then to 1M requires
340854 - more people using SDS. Wider exposure showing benefits of
340855 - adding intelligence to information with the eight (8) steps for
340856 - using SDS reported on 001219, ref SDS 30 4W4L, encourages wider
340857 - use by others, as people struggle to find information in
