321004 - Context Needs Service Innovation to Understand Meaning of Information
321005 -
321006 - Greg said today that his group has used Primus technology to capture
321007 - daily working information.  Experience at CSI shows communication
321008 - requires context to be effective; capturing a useful record of context
321009 - that gives information meaning has proven to be a stumbling block,
321010 - reflecting Dave Snowden's research at IBM showing that Knowledge
321011 - Management presents significant challenges to theorists, developers
321012 - and practitioners, reviewed on 020608. ref SDS 30 QV5G
321013 -
321014 -     Greg's biography reviewed on 021011 shows he started CSI in 1997
321015 -     as a spin off from Primus. ref SDS 36 MU9I
321017 -  ..
321018 - Primus avoids the cost of skilled people for capturing a useful record
321019 - by enabling everyone to enter information, anywhere, anytime, noted on
321020 - their website discussed below. ref SDS 0 6V31
321022 -  ..
321023 - Knowledge requires adding "intelligence" to organize, analyse, align,
321024 - summarize and obtain continual feedback that makes information useful,
321025 - as explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 0367  This "intellignece" process for
321026 - creating knowledge is not cited on the Primus website, ref SDS 0 6U6T,
321027 - possibly because many people feel working intelligently is "overkill."
321028 - as explained on 890324. ref SDS 1 LZ5F
321030 -  ..
321031 - Greg said the problem his team encounters is that people need to be
321032 - doing daily work on mission critical tasks in order to create a record
321033 - of daily work showing correlations, implications and nuance that gives
321034 - information meaning based on the context of objectives, requirements
321035 - and commitments, as explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 2301
321037 -  ..
321038 - This problem aligns with experience showing that Knowledge management
321039 - has proven difficult to accomplish without SDS, reported on 021031,

321054 - people think through stories that place information into context, as
321055 - reported on 900303. ref SDS 4 3016  Professor Landauer points out in
321056 - his paper on Latent Semantic Analysis that "meaning" is derived from
321057 - "local contiguity" which is another way of saying "context," reviewed

380805 -     Service Innovation Overcomes Tendency to Get By on Bad Management
380806 -
380807 -     Greg related analysis among colleagues at CSI has disclosed that
380808 -     obtaining useful context requires an "expert," or whoever prepares
380809 -     the record of daily work, to attend every meeting and participate
380810 -     in all of the calls.  This impossible criteria, often described as
380811 -     "writing everything down," reported on 890809, ref SDS 2 3S6H,
380812 -     makes effective management seem like overkill that is way beyond
380813 -     reach since nobody can write everything down.  Irrational extreme
380814 -     posits a dilemma that prevents reasonable investment and personal
380815 -     efforts at any level to work intelligently.  Strong leadership
380816 -     solves this knowledge management dilemma through service
380817 -     innovation that enables people to transcend fears about the cost
380818 -     of good management needed to save time and money, because giving
380819 -     up is a slippery slope to error, loss, conflict, crisis and
380820 -     calamity.
380822 -      ..
380823 -     For example, service innovation is essential to deliver timely
380824 -     intelligence that avoids national security disaster, as occurred
380825 -     on 010911, ref SDS 23 YNGH, and to avoid business failure by
380826 -     organizations striving to make ends meet at PG&E, reported on
380827 -     010529, ref SDS 21 L2EM, Enron, World Com, etc., reported on
380828 -     020204. ref SDS 26 0001
380830 -      ..
380831 -     Professional organizations provide entertainment, recognition for
380832 -     members, and marketing platforms, but, as well, can be a voice to
380833 -     educate under the vision of continual improvement.  Failure to pay
380834 -     the price of success by investing in good management ensures the
380835 -     cost of failure will be borne deeply and widely under Aristotle's
380836 -     rule layed down in 400 BC, cited in NWO. ref OF 3 JV3G  CSI can
380837 -     lead the search to find innovative ways for encouraging front-end
380838 -     investment for working intelligently that saves time and money,
380839 -     like Communication Metrics, reported by USACE. ref DRP 5 0001

380846 -     Andy Grove notes that good management requires continual study,
380847 -     reviewed on 980307, ref SDS 15 5794, and Tom Munnecke at SAIC
380848 -     brings forward the idea to "study what works," reported on 020726,
380849 -     ref SDS 32 E63H, in order to count what counts most. ref SDS 32
380850 -     J484  What counts most in communication is accuracy under the
380851 -     common rule "garbage-in garbage-out."  While there is evidence
380852 -     that people are giving up on accuracy, because communication is
380853 -     difficult, reported on 020820, ref SDS 33 V66I, citing Drucker,
380854 -     reviewed on 931130, ref SDS 7 3851, there is, also, evidence that
380855 -     SDS solves the problem, reported on 010916, ref SDS 24 0001, and
380856 -     shown by this record, because SDS makes context fast and easy.

471104 - Context Management Needs Partnership between Leadership and Technology
471105 -
471106 - Experience using SDS related on 011006 shows that modest efforts by a
471107 - few people adding intelligence to information increase productivity by
471108 - enabling many people to spread accurate knowledge like a virus, rather
471109 - than rumor, hunch, error, guess and gossip, ref SDS 25 W56K, that
471110 - causes continual bumbling under Henry Kissinger's point that lack of
471111 - analysis makes management an "Alice in Wonderland," reviewed on
471112 - 940609.
471114 -  ..
471115 - SDS solves the problem noted by Lotus Notes developer and Groove
471116 - founder Ray Ozzi reporting on 020822 that people are feeling pain and
471117 - looking for answers because the tools they like cause overwhelming
471118 - complexity from information overload. ref SDS 34 Q99G, noted as well
471119 - in POIMS, ref OF 1 6221  Later, Google's co-founder, Sergey Brin,
471120 - commented that people are giving up on other technologies for adding
471121 - metadata to access context that improves understanding, reported on
471122 - 021031. ref SDS 39 M53H  Ozzi and Brin therefore confirm Greg's worry
471123 - today, noted above, that there is not enough time to use Knowledge
471124 - Management with conventional IT methods. ref SDS 0 U88K  SDS solves
471125 - this problem by leveraging the power of the human mind to remember
471126 - only the gist of information, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 KH8J
471128 -  ..
471129 - This record is an example.  Explicit links in SDS make feedback fast
471130 - and easy to refine accuracy of understandings; and, likewise, sending
471131 - email citing SDS records is fast and easy to expand notice that keeps
471132 - everyone on the same page.  This solves problems of providing useful
471133 - context because SDS records contain a cornocopia of context, as seen
471134 - by this record.
471136 -  ..
471137 - Everything in SDS is in the right place at the right time, as reported
471138 - on 010425. ref SDS 20 EP7F  This design makes finding and connecting
471139 - relevant information into a contextual record of knowledge fast and
471140 - easy.  Delivering a connected record empowers others to build and use
471141 - an effective knowledge base, and so changes attitudes about using good
471142 - management, as reported on 020618, ref SDS 31 MU6H, because SDS on the

471148 -
471149 - ...as planned on 971021. ref SDS 14 3636  This is a much stronger
471150 - solution than information management, because "knowledge" is a more
471151 - powerful resource than information.
471153 -  ..
471154 - Context is managed without an expert attending every meeting and
471155 - listening to every call.  SDS adds "intelligence" to organize,
471156 - analyze, align, summarize and use feedback loops to continually refine
471157 - the accuracy of understanding, per POIMS. ref OF 1 0367  This process
471158 - enriches the meaning of communication in meetings and documents using
471159 - command and control of the record, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 1113
471160 - Fast access to key information enables checking alignment by making
471161 - connections of cause and effect.  Discovering patterns of cause and
471162 - effect reveals conflicts with objectives, requirements and commitments
471163 - which are otherwise hidden, i.e., the true meaning of communication is
471164 - a devastating "secret," from participants in face-to-face events. see
471165 - POIMS, ref OF 1 V8P1, and NWO. ref OF 4 4077
471167 -      ..
471168 -     This becomes clear from experience working with SDS, noted by Tom
471169 -     Keesling at USACE on 961101. ref SDS 12 8888
471171 -      ..
471172 -     The record on 970110 is an example of useful intelligence
471173 -     generated on a crucial meeting without the Communication Manager
471174 -     having attended the meeting. ref SDS 13 9483   To the
471175 -     participants, most of the critical meaning was a "secret" until
471176 -     the SDS record was prepared to line things up.

660704 - Greg asked if there is a demonstration program he can use to
660705 - experiment with SDS?
660707 -  ..
660708 - At this stage, the key question is showing SDS enables people to turn
660709 - out work product that accomplishes the aims of POIMS?  Most people who
660710 - bump into SDS records on the Internet have a positive experience, as
660711 - shown in the record on 010907, ref SDS 22 KX3L, and so this is the
660712 - best way to introduce people to the opportunity of advancing from IT
660713 - to a culture of knowledge.
660715 -  ..
660716 - SDS enables a new way of working that lifts innate capacity to think,
660717 - remember and communicate by extending alphabet technology for common
660718 - literacy, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 3742  This is accomplished by
660719 - integrating a critical mass of core competencies, also, set out in
660720 - POIMS. ref OF 1 2688  Without integration, there is little to no
660721 - improvement in productivity, and so people give up, as reported by
660722 - Dave Snowden at IBM, reviewed on 020608. ref SDS 30 QV5G
660724 -  ..
660725 - That may be why Bill Gates announced plans on 021108 to integrate
660726 - commands in Microsoft programs, so that people can use more than 5% of
660727 - the power in those products. ref SDS 40 EFBE
660729 -  ..
660730 - Therefore, smooth integration of tasks is critical to productivity,
660731 - however, integration creates a knowledge management dilemma, because
660732 - combining traditionally separate tasks that people already know how to
660733 - accomplish by pushing buttons for Microsoft programs initially seems
660734 - complex, and so takes time to learn to press new buttons in SDS that
660735 - are not in Microsoft programs, and, second, many things have to be
660736 - learned before anyone can do anything.  Like learning to fly an
660737 - airplane in relation to using experience driving a car, discussed with

660743 - Greg noted that SDS support for underlying skills requires learning an
660744 - extension of literacy, which takes support over time.  This leads to
660745 - opportunity for innovation in service that is championed by CSI.

680427 - "Knowledge" is not defined nor distinguished from "information" on the

680457 -            Primus can be strengthened by a definition of knowledge
680458 -            that shows how this is distinct from information and
680459 -            intelligence, reported on 000120. ref SDS 17 5063

680469 -  ..
680470 - In sum, "access," "analyse" and "improve" are good steps for doing
680471 - knowledge management.  We need work product to assess what this means
680472 - in practice using Primus, in the same way that this record

680498 -

680500 -        knowledge from every employee. Knowledge can be shared, via the
680501 -        web, throughout the enterprise and with customers and partners.
680502 -        Content in the Primus eServer knowledgebase can be refined and
680503 -        updated anytime as employees respond to inquiries, and
680504 -        information can be delivered across multiple channels - web,
680505 -        email, phone, and desktop. Primus eServer also provides a
680506 -        variety of reports to help organizations better understand
680507 -        their business and customers, and enable managers to recognize
680508 -        and reward knowledge contributors. With Primus eServer, you can
680509 -        make the most of the intellectual property within your
680510 -        organization, and each employee or customer can answer even the
680511 -        most complex questions.

680516 -            http://www.primus.com/products/eServer/howItWorks/
680517 -
680518 -        Many knowledge software packages require continual maintenance
680519 -        by experts to keep information current in the knowledgebase.
680520 -        Unlike these, Primus eServer gathers knowledge efficiently by
680521 -        enabling any authorized users-including employees, customers,
680522 -        and partners-to create information in the knowledgebase,
680523 -        anywhere, anytime.  Multiple users can contribute to the
680524 -        knowledgebase at the same time, and newly created information
680525 -        is available immediately for everyone to use. Best of all,
680526 -        Primus eServer stores employee knowledge so that it won't leave
680527 -        the company when employees move on.
680529 -             ..
680530 -            The Primus eServer architecture seems like the equivalent
680531 -            of allowing anyone, anywhere to edit the Bible, Huckleberry
680532 -            Fin, Pilgrams Progress, the Declaration of Independence, or
680533 -            stories in the newspaper.  Failure to pay the cost of
680534 -            intelligence doesn't yield useful work product, but does
680535 -            reflect a powerful cognitive dynamic which imparts a false
680536 -            impression that "intelligence" and "knowledge" are free, as
680537 -            explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 3385
