060702 -
060703 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 dated 030217 from Wende Vyborney Feller,
060704 - saying....
060705 -
060706 -     I came across your material on communication metrics while
060707 -     searching another topic on the Web and am overwhelmingly curious
060708 -     about your project. I can't tell from the "diary" entries exactly
060709 -     what's involved, but it sounds like you have a well-developed
060710 -     proposal already in hand somewhere. ref DRT 1 0001
060712 -      ..
060713 -     I'm a little hesitant in contacting you because I'm not a
060714 -     Communication department head, and those seem to be the contacts
060715 -     you're interested in. On the other hand, I do have a doctorate in
060716 -     the field, publish fairly regularly lately, and am putting
060717 -     together a proposal for a management communication book now.  You
060718 -     can check out my credentials at ref DRT 1">http://drwende.info, ref DRT 1
060719 -     Q26F
060721 -      ..
060722 -     At the very least, I'd be glad to provide constructive advice on
060723 -     making your approach more appealing to the academic mind, which
060724 -     can sometimes be a peculiar experience, along with some inside
060725 -     information on how to find additional allies with far more power
060726 -     than I can offer. ref DRT 1 136N
060728 -  ..
060729 - Last night I discussed Wende's letter with Gary.
060731 -  ..
060732 - Curiosity about SDS and Communication Metrics may express underlying
060733 - objectives for a paid assignment, which we cannot offer at this time.
060735 -  ..
060736 - Interest in supporting a "project" is helpful.
060738 -  ..
060739 - Wende's formal training in communication, and experience developing
060740 - consulting proposals is a critical asset we need.  Writing for
060741 - publication that advances transformation to a culture of knowledge is
060742 - another urgent task for Communication Metrics. ref SDS 0 1V58
060744 -  ..
060745 - Wende's credentials could support another proposal to NSF based on
060746 - comments in the record for 991213 showing NSF likes education
060747 - credentials. ref SDS 10 0865  Should we move in the direction of an
060748 - indepent foundation that enables organizations to support advance to a
060749 - culture of knowledge, without incurring the psychological trauma of
060750 - fearing responsiblity for accountability noted in the record on
060751 - 980405, ref SDS 9 5065, and more recently on 010522, ref SDS 14 E688,
060752 - in that case Wende's expertise could be very helpful.
060754 -  ..
060755 - Wende's experience teaching at the college level lines up with past
060756 - initiatives to develop SDS projects at.....
060757 -
060758 -      George Washington University.......... 950426, ref DIP 2 0001
060759 -      Wharton School of Business............ 950523, ref SDS 5 5548
060760 -      University of Santa Clara............. 951012, ref SDS 6 0001
060762 -  ..
060763 - Professor Joseph Ransdell at Texas Tech beginning on 000716 encouraged
060764 - this work, ref SDS 12 0001, based on Joe's point that Communciation
060765 - Metrics provides an ambitious theory of management practice that has
060766 - been sought since the 17th century. ref SDS 12 7838
060768 -  ..
060769 - We probably need to work with Wende on lining up perspectives in the
060770 - record on 950327 that defines Communication Metrics. ref SDS 4 0001
060771 - With alignment on goals and SDS methodology, Wende's offer of
060772 - constructive advice on appealling to the academic mind would be very
060773 - helpful.
060775 -  ..
060776 - Submitted this record to Gary for follow up.
