231208 - Walt remembered the call last week to follow up Roy Roebuck's ideas
231209 - for using SDS to support transformation that strengthens command and
231210 - control for communication and managment at DOD, following the call
231211 - from Geoff Raines on 030417, ref SDS 19 WT9G, citing Roy's analysis of
231212 - the problem at DOD reported on 020217. ref SDS 8 9360
231214 -  ..
231215 - Walt is assigned to develop an architecture for (he used an acronym)
231216 - what-sounded-like using off-the-shelf commercial products and services
231217 - that enable the right people to find the right information at the
231218 - right time.
231219 -
231220 -     DOD requirements for finding information reported by Walt today
231221 -     reflect review on 020504 showing FAR requirements for surveillance
231222 -     and documentation need a new solution. ref SDS 9 NS6F
231224 -      ..
231225 -     Analysis on 020504 shows SDS enables a new way of working under
231226 -     practices of Communication Metrics. ref SDS 9 AV9K  On 030417 SRI
231227 -     developing draft endorsement of SDS, ref OF 1 0001, that reflects
231228 -     Roy Roybuck's analysis on 020217. ref SDS 8 3105
231229 -
231230 -        [On 030424 experience at NASA shows communication and daily
231231 -        management are hard to improve; loss of the Columbia Space
231232 -        Shuttle on 030201 revealed improvements were not made following
231233 -        loss of the Challenger in 1986 despite mandates and regulations
231234 -        for transformation to adopt good practices. ref SDS 21 0001

231239 - at the rank of Lt Colonel.  His last assignment was special assistant
231240 - to the Director of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) and
231241 - to the Total Quality Management Director for the Defense Systems
231242 - Support Organization.  After leaving active duty, in December 1993

231260 -
231261 - ...shows that transformation from IT to a new way of working using SDS
231262 - for Communication Metrics makes finding information fast and easy, as
231263 - reported on 010916. ref SDS 5 0001  This contrasts with inability to
231264 - find anything on a computer using other tools, also reported on
231265 - 010916. ref SDS 6 KA6H  Command and control of the record explained in
231266 - POIMS, ref OF 6 1113, requires a 3-layer architecture of tools,
231267 - management science and a work role, reviewed on 020820. ref SDS 10
231268 - 0001
231270 -  ..
231271 - SDS software is explained in a recent letter to IBM on 030418.
231272 - ref DIP 1 HS4F  Deployment is enabled by a 3-layer architecture
231273 - explained on 020820, ref SDS 10 0001, that includes a new work role,
231274 - also, explained in the letter to IBM. ref DIP 1 WG8I
231276 -  ..
231277 - POIMS is a white paper that explains the technology which guides SDS
231278 - development and deployment using Com Metrics. ref OF 2 0001
231280 -  ..
231281 - The work product of SDS, which is a record like this one, provides
231282 - anytime, anywhere intelligence.  Today, during our call, we briefly
231283 - reviewed the experiment Stuart Harrow did at DCMA on 020905 showing
231284 - that people can learn in about 2 minutes how to access and use SDS
231285 - records that build a chronology showing cause and effect. ref SDS 12
231286 - DAPW  A week later Stuart reported this is a powerful and unique
231287 - capability of SDS. ref SDS 13 HH92
231289 -  ..
231290 - FAR requirements show express need for organizational memory and SDS
231291 - support for traceability to original sources. ref SDS 9 XV7L
231293 -  ..
231294 - USACE published a report on 971007 showing SDS used for Com Metrics
231295 - saves time and money at the rate of 10:1, i.e., ROI is 10:1.
231296 - ref DRP 6 7400  A scope of services was also developed by USACE for
231297 - implementing Com Metrics using SDS. ref DRP 5 4929
231299 -  ..
231300 - The more important fact, however, is that, so far as can be seen from
231301 - research, SDS is the only working system in the world that can
231302 - routinely produce work product for organizational memory so that
231303 - people can get the right information at the right time.  Morris Jones
231304 - at Intel noted on 010924 that nobody uses other software like SDS for
231305 - capturing, organizing and retrieving daily working informtion.
231306 - ref SDS 7 XT5F
231308 -  ..
231309 - SDS is now under trial use for the  combat project at Aerospace company, reported on
231310 - 030125. ref SDS 17 0001  After a few weeks, initial application has
231311 - been favorable, reported on 030413. ref SDS 18 0001
231313 -  ..
231314 - Walt is generally familiar with combat.  The mission is described in Gary

231321 - management, also, shown on 020217. ref SDS 8 3105   This follows up
231322 - planning on 020919 from communication with Stuart Harrow at DCMA.
