5412 - Summary/Objective
5413 -
541301 - Follow up ref SDS 22 QX68
541302 -
541303 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary which is a copy of a letter sent to
541304 - Dave Held at Aerospace company.  The significant point is a post script in Dave's
541305 - letter to Gary saying....
541306 -
541307 -      I'm amazed at how many times I find I hadn't understood what
541308 -      happened at a meeting until I read your notes.
541310 -  ..
541311 - Dave's comments supports Eric Armstrong's report on 010916 that SDS
541312 - enables amazing memory using mechanisms that obviously work.
541313 - ref SDS 7 0001
541314 -
541315 -      [On 030604 Jerry Nord at CSG describes SDS as supporting goals
541316 -      for "life-growth journey," ref SDS 27 0001,
541318 -       ..
541319 -      [On 040527 Dave relying on organizational memory in SDS prepared
541320 -      by Gary. ref SDS 28 DW8I
541322 -       ..
541323 -      [On 041013 Dave assistant manager for Steve fits model applying
541324 -      SDS to common work roles. ref SDS 29 WV5J
541326 -  ..
541327 - Better "understanding" of communication helps solve the problem Gary
541328 - reported on 011006 asking how work get fouled up. ref SDS 8 O99K  When
541329 - people don't understand what happens in meetings, calls and email,
541330 - then little inconsequential details later blow up into major problems,
541331 - as Morris related on 921127, ref SDS 2 0674, because people take the
541332 - wrong action and take conflicting actions, as explained in NWO.
541333 - ref OF 10 4077  The letter reviewed on 020217 reported that
541334 - remembering incorrectly degrades command and control at DOD, and went
541335 - on to suggest that the SDS design offers a better solution than is
541336 - available from using information technology. ref SDS 11 3105  Dave's
541337 - comments today support this prior analysis.
541339 -  ..
541340 - Dave's assessment, also, validates Gary's report on 030521 that SDS
541341 - records are being accepted by more people at Aerospace company for improving the
541342 - work, ref SDS 22 QX68, which was further shown on 030523 when Gary was
541343 - asked to work on Schedules and Budgets because recognition has grown
541344 - that the record of organizational memory Gary is creating improves
541345 - progress, and right now current priority for making progress has
541346 - shifted from Gary's prior assignment on Requirements to his new
541347 - assignment in Schedules and Budgets. ref SDS 25 GF52
541349 -  ..
541350 - At that time, analysis showed that work get fouled up because people
541351 - fail to understand communication, ref SDS 8 EL6J, as reported in
541352 - Dave's letter to Gary, per above. ref SDS 0 0001
541354 -  ..
541355 - Dave's letter today further supports the solution proposed on 011006
541356 - that adding a little "intelligence" helps people grow and maintain
541357 - common understanding, ref SDS 8 W56K, that enables people to get work
541358 - done correctly, on time and within budget.

541361 -  ..
541362 - Commercial Acceptance Ready to Explode by Throwing a Match on It
541363 -
541364 - This new information today validates Bill Benkevich's evaluation on
541365 - 970611 that SDS is ready to explode commercially by someone throwing a
541366 - match on it. ref SDS 6 0900
541368 -  ..
541369 - Dave's letter further clarifies Pat Linconln's assessment on 030521
541370 - that SDS + Rod is useful. ref SDS 23 JU9N
541371 -
541372 -      It now appears that SDS + Gary is also helpful for improving
541373 -      daily management by improving understanding, which is a predicate
541374 -      to productive work.
541376 -       ..

541382 -                 almost anyone
541383 -
541384 -      ...can enable good mangement that saves time and money by
541385 -      expanding span of attention as called out in POIMS?
541387 -  ..
541388 - Validation of Gary's work using SDS at Aerospace company supports planning on
541389 - 030525 for working with Pat at SRI on a blueprint for KM. ref SDS 26
541390 - 0001
541392 -  ..
541393 - In the meeting with Pat today at SRI, he pointed out that people are
541394 - placing their trust in Microsoft and IBM for tools that enable using
541395 - good management, rather than consider other tools, like SDS.  This was
541396 - demonstrated recently when Stuart Harrow asked how to use other
541397 - programs that everybody likes to support SDS capabilty for helping
541398 - people work intelligently by creating a connected record. ref SDS 13
