442303 - Gary submitted his SDS records today showing analysis of the challenge
442304 - to bridge the gap between two (2) worlds of traditional practice using
442305 - IT, and a new way of working using KM. ref SDS 0 595O  Review of
442306 - Gary's SDS records yielded suggestions on Com Metrics practice for
442307 - generating a records that fit requirements of an established, large
442308 - corporate culture. Gary's records show rapid progress learning this
442309 - new way of working. ref SDS 0 6J5K  Gary, also, submitted SDS records
442310 - attached to email that makes progress on a 3-layer architecture for
442311 - distributing anytime, anywhere intelligence via email that can be used
442312 - by people who are not skilled using the SDS program.  Initial work
442313 - need refinement to make links active, ref SDS 0 469I, so that people
442314 - can navigate Knowledge Space quickly and easily, and can begin to
442315 - generate their own connections using explicit links in SDS records.
442316 - Gary relates today growing reliance on pictures and summary that cause

442703 - Gary called and asked if his letter today with two (2) SDS records
442704 - attached was received?
442706 -  ..
442707 - Explained a letter from Gary has two (2) SDS records attached.  They
442708 - are both text rather than HTML, so the links are not active,
442709 - indicating instructions in the record on 030407 for attaching a text

442711 - HTML, also shown in the same record. ref SDS 38 PG59

442728 - Microsoft Outlook Difficult to Save Information in Structured Text
442729 -
442730 - Basic problem seems to be Microsoft Outlook.  Gary's record today says
442731 - that saving content from Outlook is a "mess" that prevents integration
442732 - into the larger mosaic of organizational memory enabled by SDS.
442733 - ref SDS 42 0001
442735 -       ..
442736 -      Talked to Morris later this eveing.  He indicated most people set
442737 -      Outlook configuration to apply Microsoft Word commands, and this
442738 -      results in a "mess" when an email is saved for structure in text,
442739 -      which aligns with Gary's report.  People feel they can get by
442740 -      without SDS support for knowledge management, as reported on
442741 -      001126 on the OHS/DKR project, ref SDS 14 4E3X, but have given up
442742 -      trying to manage Microsoft work product, also, noted on 001126 by
442743 -      Grant Bowman. ref SDS 14 B15I
442745 -       ..
442746 -      Morris described having 50 or so folders in Outlook; he uses a
442747 -      search engine, confirming prior reporting on 960406 that people
442748 -      have problems finding things on computers. ref SDS 6 4249  Eric
442749 -      Armstrong noted this on 010916. ref SDS 17 KA6H  On 021031 Sergey
442750 -      Brin with Google reported that people have given up trying to
442751 -      organize information because the task is too complex using
442752 -      popular programs like Outlook. ref SDS 28 M53H  This aligns with
442753 -      Peter Drucker's report that people are giving up on
442754 -      communciation, reviewed on 931130. ref SDS 2 3851
442756 -  ..
442757 - Gary describes in his record today that we have to bridge the gap
442758 - between two worlds. ref SDS 44 0001  Traditional work practice relies
442759 - on information technology (IT) to make documents look good, per POIMS,
442760 - ref OF 8 0959; while a new way of working with knowledge management
442761 - strengthens ability to think, remember and communicate so that what
442762 - "looks good" on paper, will be effective when implemented.  Goals to
442763 - publish documents that look good in order to make a sale, collide with
442764 - the need for useful content to perform objectives, requirements and
442765 - commitments accurately after a sale is made.  Many have given up on
442766 - accuracy, reported on 020820, ref SDS 23 V66I, because Microsoft
442767 - programs that are fast and easy make communication slow, hard work,
442768 - per Morris above, ref SDS 0 BF4G  For situations where accuracy is
442769 - important, people readily recognize that SDS makes communication fast
442770 - and easy, noted by Stuart Harrow at DOD on 020912. ref SDS 25 HH92  As
442771 - the importance of good management gains wider acceptance based on
442772 - results at NASA, reported on 030304, ref SDS 34 KV6K, at Enron on
442773 - 020204, ref SDS 20 P49F, in health care, reported on 991207,
442774 - ref SDS 10 0889, demand will grow for Gary's ideas that support a
442775 - 3-layer architecture to bridge the gap between getting by with tools
442776 - people like, and SDS that makes people effective.

442778 -      [On 030512 2 worlds of information and knowledge management are
442779 -      separated by more than "appearance," related in above analysis;
442780 -      needs for printing documents that avoid linking as too time
442781 -      consuming, as only methods for managing information in old world
442782 -      order creates opposite incentives from Knowledge Mangement.
442783 -      ref SDS 47 M34F

442786 -      [On 030605 another aspect of bridging gap between 2 worlds of IT
442787 -      and KM requires effective design of flexible structure.
442788 -      ref SDS 48 LD9K
442790 -  ..
442791 - Gary has done excellent work on ideas and objectives for a next
442792 - generation SDS program shown in his record on 030407, ref SDS 39 1Y73,
442793 - including integration with email and Microsoft Word programs that are
442794 - popular with many people. ref SDS 39 1Y8M  Today, on 030410 Gary added
442795 - and expanded analysis of requirements. ref SDS 44 4J7H  This continues
442796 - and refines prior work summarized on 030119, ref SDS 33 PE7J and
442797 - ref SDS 33 346X
442798 -
442799 -      Analysis of requirements can build on prior work by linking
442800 -      recent records on 030410 and 030407 to prior work summarized on
442801 -      030119 and by listing background, illustrated by the work on SDS
442802 -      development in the record on, ref SDS 30 HE4U  A core question
442803 -      is how one set of information relates to another, which is shown
442804 -      by links backward and forward.
442806 -       ..
442807 -      Linking plans for SDS development to POIMS maintains alignment
442808 -      with design requirements that advance from information to a
442809 -      culture of knowledge, discussed in a letter to Gary on 011210,
442810 -      ref SDS 19 ZS9K, and more recently on 030316. ref SDS 35 U46N

442817 -  ..
442818 - Gary seemed to indicate during the call this evening that XML can
442819 - bridge the gap between IT and KM.
442821 -  ..
442822 - XML was raised by OHS/DKR people, for example on 000824. ref SDS 11
442823 - PU5N  Later on 001113 there was careful consideration of XML.
442824 - ref SDS 12 M3RW  A week later on 001124 one engineer cautioned about
442825 - the near term utility of XML. ref SDS 13 0001 Six (6) months later on
442826 - 010510 Steve Balmer reported that Microsoft expects XML capabilities
442827 - will be available within five (5) years, because Bill Gates is betting
442828 - his company on this becoming a useful solution. ref SDS 16 8Y8H
442830 -       ..
442831 -      SDS helps capture a greater share of daily working inforamtion
442832 -      and add intelligence to produce knowledge, as Gary demonstrates
442833 -      in widening use of SDS for a broad range of daily tasks, along
442834 -      the lines listed on 020708 reporting who SDS is typically used.
442835 -      ref SDS 22 MZ6O
442837 -  ..
442838 - Installing Netscape 4.7 for email might solve the problem.
442840 -  ..
442841 - I have the current version of Word and Outlook.  Internet Explorer is
442842 - used for looking at the Internet.  Netscape 4.7 maintains the
442843 - structure of correspondence, and so evidently takes a lot less time to
442844 - organize information into the flexible structure of SDS for managing
442845 - Knowledge Space, as explained in POIMS. ref OF 6 034J

460536 -      worried again about email because recent experience at NASA shows
460537 -      that informal communication about potential loss of the Columbia
460538 -      Space Shuttle creates demand for better formal analysis that
460539 -      justified ignoring informal analysis in email.  He seemed to
460540 -      indicate that our top executives feel better risk management
460541 -      requires reducing email that raises issues in order to cover up,

460551 -      (less than 50 years), because good management seems like
460552 -      unnecessary overkill; whereas, Drucker maintains that good
