120907 - input on scope of fixing the memory problem. ref SDS 0 5B7M  Gary
120908 - noted importance to initially focus on simply learning SDS and how to
120909 - perform Com Metrics to overcome risk that Jerry and his team at CSG do
120910 - not grasp the SDS design that has stymied others in the past.
120911 - ref SDS 0 PO5I  Gary has some ideas on editing the list of SDS trade

121307 -     Morris, Ross, Bill DeHart, Pat Lincoln and Dave Buoncristiani.
121309 -  ..
121310 - The letter transmitted the proposal from Jerry Nord this morning, and
121311 - it said....
121312 -
121313 -    1.  Attached is a proposal on SDS development from Jerry Nord at
121314 -        CSG, received today. ref SDS 17 PPUQ
121316 -         ..
121317 -    2.  My impression is that Jerry is making a pretty good offer that
121318 -        protects IP as well as possible, ref SDS 17 K37T, and so this
121319 -        presents a good chance for Jerry to learn SDS and transition to
121320 -        daily implementation, as you are doing at Aerospace company.
121322 -         ..
121323 -    3.  One thing I am inclined to incorporate is a list of agreed upon
121324 -        features that are unique "trade secrets" of SDS, as shown in
121325 -        the record on 000831, ref SDS 11 G8E3, and suggested in comments
121326 -        to the record today reviewing Jerry's proposal. ref SDS 17 K37T
121328 -         ..
121329 -    4.  Jerry and I discussed on Monday how to incorporate CSG into an
121330 -        MOU, which seems like what he is proposing in his letter today.
121331 -        He understands we don't want to shoot ourselves in the foot by
121332 -        disclosing how to improve the work, only to have CSG go get a
121333 -        patent and/or copyright after they learn the secret of KM.
121335 -         ..
121336 -    5.  Perhaps the language he is proposing today does this in light
121337 -        of the reference in Jerry's letter to Welch and partners, and
121338 -        to the record on 030126 that discusses royalties. ref SDS 17
121339 -        K38R

121342 -        Any comments?
121344 -         ..
121345 -    6.  Notice Jerry wants to discuss this tomorrow on Thursday, so
121346 -        feedback today would be appreciated.
121348 -         ..
121349 -        Thanks.

121356 -
121357 -        Rod,
121358 -
121359 -    1.  Looks good to me.
121360 -
121361 -    2.  He is clearly aware of the major issues and agrees with them.
121363 -         ..
121364 -    3.  If things work out, follow-on arrangements can be developed.
121366 -         ..
121367 -    4.  Development work to be done is still open, so we will see what
121368 -        input he comes up with so far as UI, etc.
121370 -         ..

401346 - Care is needed to focus on the goal of improving ability to find

401348 - everything all the time.  SDS tools give Gary a better chance to
401349 - improve memory for finding information when needed, and a Com Manager

460404 - Follow up ref SDS 17 XO5L.
460405 -
460406 - Gary raised possibility that Jerry and/or others at CSG might not
460407 - understand the SDS plan, perform, report management method, as set out
460408 - in POIMS, ref OF 5 6649, based on experience reported on 920215.
460409 - ref SDS 6 5820  This could impact Jerry's proposal to develop
460410 - improvements for SDS. ref SDS 17 XO5L  This suggests that the first
460411 - priority is for Jerry and his team to learn the mechanics of using SDS
460412 - and then for performing Communication Metrics, as shown by analysis in
460413 - the record reviewing the proposal. ref SDS 17 XO5L
460415 -  ..
460416 - For example, SDS was installed for Morris at Chips on 910520.  At that
460417 - time, Morris seemed to find significant utility. ref SDS 2 655O  Later
460418 - on 911123 Morris remarked that, what he called, the "Welch Management
460419 - Method" is different from the way other people work. ref SDS 4 4930
460420 - On 920215 Morris noted SDS is counterintuitive; earlier, analysis on
460421 - 910529 explained why people don't "get it."  Management practices
460422 - molded from centuries using information technology creates a mental
460423 - block that blinds people from understanding SDS methodology.
460424 - ref SDS 3 9989  This seems peculiar because, as David Vannier at Intel
460425 - noted on 970603 that SDS enables people to use commonly accepted good
460426 - management practices. ref SDS 10 S196  Research on 921205 shows that
460427 - limited time prevents everyone from using good management, ref SDS 7
460428 - 2552, which makes daily work an "Alice in Wonderland" of continual
460429 - bumbling, noted by Henry Kissiner, reviewed on 940609. ref SDS 8 4238
460430 - The overwhelming tendency to use bad management reported on 010908,
460431 - ref SDS 13 YF5O, makes good management seem like "overkill," reported
460432 - on 890324. ref SDS 1 6894  In other words using good management in
460433 - practice looks like "overkill" and so SDS seems counterintuitive
460434 - because it enables good management, as explained by Bob Johnston on
460435 - 970107. ref SDS 9 4953
460437 -  ..
460438 - Therefore, extra effort is required to help people overcome cultural
460439 - blinders in order to implement SDS and discover the how to improve the
460440 - initial design, which is the objective of working with Jerry Nord at
460441 - CSG.

460444 -      seek help early and often as needed. ref SDS 19 669M
460446 -  ..
460447 - My sense is that as a result of the Morris' experience, attention was
460448 - given to this issue with Gary, in part, by explaining the concept in
460449 - POIMS. ref OF 5 SE4F  Gary's work reviewing POIMS and other
460450 - foundational documents, plus having the time for study, which Morris
460451 - did have time to do, by virtue of ongoing duties to manage Chips, as

460453 - soldier on despite a complex learning curve.
