711015 - Today, Jerry reports that problems finding information at CSG have
711016 - delayed submission of a draft agreement on SDS.  He plans to submit
711017 - the draft on Thursday and will call on Friday, 030620 for discussions.
711018 - This illustrates the reason that CSG management gave approval for
711019 - Jerry to investigate SDS, reported on 030609, ref SDS 75 XO60, based
711020 - on Jerry's calculations of cost savings on 020415. ref SDS 39 5N3M

711027 - Specifically, Jerry says....
711028 -
711029 -    1.  Wanted to let you know I am running behind my scheduled
711030 -        delivery.  Work has been almost overwhelming.  The amount of
711031 -        knowledge that is lost here at CSG is enormous.  Have spent
711032 -        most of the weekend, all Monday, and until now, searching out
711033 -        people and information on a process that is broken, costing our
711034 -        customers untold hundreds of dollars per day, with no solution
711035 -        in sight. I have been set back about two days due to this
711036 -        problem.  Will need to move my delivery date to you to Thursday
711037 -        and will call on Friday.  Have found most of the "missing
711038 -        pieces" now just have to organize them so I can get back to the
711039 -        SDS tasks.

711044 -         ..
711045 -    2.  It does highlight the need again to management that CSG has
711046 -        lost and continues to lose valuable knowledge by not
711047 -        documenting and storing meeting information and individual
711048 -        notes... ref DRT 1 00W2

711137 -    a draft agreement on SDS will be delayed a few days, until
711138 -    Thursday, 030619.  Your post script, ref SDS 0 W55M, lines up with

711140 -    better productivity. ref SDS 80 FV4F  The calculation of potential

711145 -    ref SDS 48 EF5I
711147 -     ..
711148 -    So, please don't rush on the SDS efforts.  Experience over the
711149 -    past 20 years advancing from information to a culture of knowledge
711150 -    has shown that the long way around is the short way there.  If you
711151 -    can get something out today, fine; but, tomorrow or Monday will
711152 -    work, also.  Since we have a "solution," this provides a cushion
711153 -    for investing time to construct a strong foundation, rather than
711154 -    rush ahead with a "house of cards."

AM2008 - Called Gary.
AM2010 -  ..
AM2011 - Discussed bridging the gap between two (2) worlds that makes
AM2012 - transformation from information to a culture of knowledge both a
AM2013 - challenge and a big opportunity for saving time and money.  On 020512
AM2014 - the gap between printing documents to manage information in a manual
AM2015 - world, and using Knowledge Space enabled by SDS for a paperless office
AM2016 - to improve finding everything because printing documents is avoided,
AM2017 - was reviewed. ref SDS 66 ZT54
AM2019 -  ..
AM2020 - Today, we identified another dimension of the gap that separates the
AM2021 - two (2) worlds of information and knowledge, first noticed on 000503.
AM2022 - ref SDS 16 5033
AM2024 -  ..
AM2025 - Gary recalled our discussion on 030611 about KM dilemma of not having
AM2026 - enough time to re-tool skills for the 8 steps using SDS to save time
AM2027 - and money. ref SDS 77 5B91  People on the job are forced to invest
AM2028 - time putting emails into various directories because this is a
AM2029 - familiar practice for being prepared to find information later when
AM2030 - needed, despite evidence this method is not very effective, per
AM2031 - Jerry's letter and the history on this issue related above.
AM2032 - ref SDS 0 154H  Time allocated to using familiar ways takes time away
AM2033 - from doing the eight (8) steps for using SDS to organize the record
AM2034 - into a spreadsheet for knowledge, explained on 001219, ref SDS 25
AM2035 - QZ4K, that is effective for finding everything, as explained in POIMS.
AM2036 - ref OF 5 KH8J  When time is not allocated to create the SDS data base,
AM2037 - this reduces the utility of the record, causing a negative synergy
AM2038 - that reduces incentives to learn and use SDS.  It's another KM
AM2039 - dilemma.
AM2040 -
AM2041 -     [On 030702 Gary encountered KM dilemma working with action items
AM2042 -     on  combat project. ref SDS 84 9Y6I
AM2044 -  ..
AM2045 - Gary noted that putting email in folders does not take long and it is
AM2046 - easy to look things up later.  This perspective presents several
AM2047 - issues....
AM2048 -
AM2049 -      1.  What about everything else?  If there is not a uniform way to
AM2050 -          treat email, other documents, and everything else, then a
AM2051 -          disconnect grows that prevents the record from augmenting
AM2052 -          intelligence, and productivity falls, because "understanding"
AM2053 -          requires integration.  Email is a small part of human
AM2054 -          experience that the mind constructs into knowledge based on
AM2055 -          alternate views of context.
AM2057 -           ..
AM2058 -      2.  When an email directory grows large, the only way to find
AM2059 -          anything is through dates and keywords.  We reviewed today
AM2060 -          that keywords people are able to think of in-the-moment are
AM2061 -          mostly derived from near-term events, and those words are
AM2062 -          rarely in the documents being sought, because at the time
AM2063 -          documents were created the mind used other ways to describe
AM2064 -          the same thing, under the mathematics of mental metrics cited
AM2065 -          by Steven Pinker on 990329. ref SDS 10 GP2S  This means a
AM2066 -          keyword or phrase may exist in a document in an entirely
AM2067 -          different context that is not relevant, while the information
AM2068 -          that is needed remains lost.
AM2070 -           ..
AM2071 -          Merely, finding a document is not a good solution, since
AM2072 -          people need specific information in a document at any given
AM2073 -          time.  At another time, different information in the same
AM2074 -          document will be needed.  Wading through a big document to
AM2075 -          find information relevant to current context takes a lot of
AM2076 -          time.  Once found, a question arises about correlations
AM2077 -          relative to the chronology of events surrounding the
AM2078 -          information at hand in order to judge implications, nuance
AM2079 -          and weight for assessing cause and effect.
AM2081 -           ..
AM2082 -          SDS helps address these common communication metrics by using
AM2083 -          record segments to place documents and other information in
AM2084 -          context by assigning multiple subjects, adding links for
AM2085 -          alignment and by assigning contacts. This provides multiple
AM2086 -          paths to find information in documents and other sources,
AM2087 -          based on the context that is needed at the moment, and, also,
AM2088 -          to understand the chronology that impacted information in a
AM2089 -          document and that was impacted by a document.
AM2090 -
AM2092 -  ..
AM2093 - Gary took an important step toward a culture of knowledge to save time
AM2094 - and money on 030604 by posting the eight (8) steps for using SDS on
AM2095 - the wall at Aerospace company. ref SDS 72 IY75  Gary noted in the call today that
AM2096 - implementation takes time, which is not available on the job, per
AM2097 - above. ref SDS 0 LV9F  This aligns with the letter to Gary last week
AM2098 - noting that the goal is not perfection, but improvement. ref SDS 72
AM2099 - IY64  Earlier, on 000920 a letter to the OHS/DKR team at SRI, said....
AM2100 -
AM2101 -    1.  Analysis on 000908, shows that KM seems like a promising market
AM2102 -        to improve handling daily working information, ref SDS 20 8820,
AM2103 -        per telecon with Doug Engelbart on 000327, ref SDS 21 3971.
AM2104 -        However, KM requires co-evolution of technology with new
AM2105 -        educational curriculum for a culture of knowledge. ref DIP 4
AM2106 -        007H
AM2108 -         ..
AM2109 -    2.  Good management takes more time than bad management, because
AM2110 -        bad management requires doing nothing, where people get by
AM2111 -        reacting to information spontaneously without investing time
AM2112 -        adding "intelligence" for analysis, organization, alignment
AM2113 -        summary and feedback. Good tools make good management fun,
AM2114 -        faster, easier and more effective for solving world problems,
AM2115 -        for getting the car fixed, going to the dentist, building a
AM2116 -        bridge or a DKR; but, it takes time and skill.  No matter how
AM2117 -        good the tools can be made, it will always be faster and easier
AM2118 -        in the moment to rely on information from conversation and
AM2119 -        documents, and there will always be many excuses for not using
AM2120 -        good management, and instead dashing off an email, see for
AM2121 -        example NASA.  Therefore, we need a work role to add alignment
AM2122 -        to communication in the same way that an accountant adds
AM2123 -        alignment to finances, because in the modern age, there is too
AM2124 -        much information for most people to align during a busy day.
AM2125 -        ref DIP 4 E46H
AM2127 -  ..
AM2128 - On 010908 Jack Park explained the allure of email, that creates and
AM2129 - overwhelming tendency to rely on bad management. ref SDS 31 YF5O
AM2131 -  ..
AM2132 - Gary feels experience using SDS at Aerospace company shows the need for a Com
AM2133 - Manager, because even, if and when, SDS is rendered in a stronger
AM2134 - form, as contemplated by the CSG initiative being championed by Jerry,
AM2135 - per above, ref SDS 0 0001, the process of using the tools to convert
AM2136 - information into knowledge for saving time and money, takes time and
AM2137 - costs money, as related in the letter to the OHS/DKR group on 000920,
AM2138 - per above.
AM2139 -
AM2140 -      [On 020619 Gary suggests Jerry consider assigning someone to be
AM2141 -      the Com Manager or scribe to help him with SDS. ref SDS 81 6I60
AM2143 -       ..
AM2144 -      [On 030620 discussed with Jerry on drafting agreement.
AM2145 -      ref SDS 82 HS9O
AM2147 -  ..
AM2148 - An example is the call to Morris about Medit memory, discussed on
AM2149 - 030611 for possible input to the CSG project. ref SDS 77 5B7M  Today,
AM2150 - Gary related having called Morris, but, at that time, Morris was
AM2151 - leaving, so a follow up call was planned that is still pending.  Of
AM2152 - interest, here, is that on 030611, Gary needed support remembering
AM2153 - where to find the list of commands and other help on the Medit macro
AM2154 - language to support calling Morris. ref SDS 77 M785  This was
AM2155 - submitted in a letter later that day, ref SDS 77 IK9N, and further
AM2156 - illustrates benefits of doing the eight (8) steps using SDS, noted by
AM2157 - Morris on 940327. ref SDS 4 J496
AM2159 -  ..
AM2160 - Gary noted that helping people understand the benefits of working
AM2161 - "intelligently," is not easy because "knowledge" is not a commodity
AM2162 - that is familiar in the way that people are willing to pay for
AM2163 - information.  Another example is getting food to the supermarket.  We
AM2164 - can improve ships, trains, trucks, conveyors and so on, but it still
AM2165 - takes time to deliver food to the store.  This is not a big deal for
AM2166 - the farmer, because if food is not delivered, people feel the loss and
AM2167 - pay for delivery.  However, since the impact of knowledge, both
AM2168 - positive and negative, is deferred, there is no commensurate demand
AM2169 - for adding intelligence to information, because knowledge seems like a
AM2170 - "free" bonus for showing up at the meeting, or sending an email, etc.,

AM2174 - The letter to OHS/DKR on 000920 made the same point. ref DIP 4 8I5K

AM2177 - Some people understand the role of a librarian to organize information
AM2178 - so people can find a book, using Gary's analogy in his letter the
AM2179 - other day explaining that finding a book in a library is a lot faster
AM2180 - and easier than wading through a big pile of books on the ground.
AM2181 - Expanding the librarian role to perform the eight (8) steps of Com
AM2182 - Metrics in order to create a variety of ways to find information when
AM2183 - needed, as set out on 001219, ref SDS 25 4W4L, may be one way for
AM2184 - transformation to occur from information to a culture of knowledge.
AM2185 - It probably doesn't help that Com Metrics posits changing the paradigm
AM2186 - from books to Knowledge Space, but at least this provides talking
AM2187 - points to keep the conversation going on building an intellectual
AM2188 - bridge, as discussed in the record on 010730. ref SDS 29 LC5O

AM2191 - The record on 000920 reports Aerospace company was at that time seeking support
AM2192 - for a lab with 250 researchers working on "Knowledge Management."

AM2195 -     Presumably some of the "researchers" could be available to support
AM2196 -     the  combat project.
AM2198 -      ..
AM2199 -     An idea here would be to encourage support by Aerospace company for work on
AM2200 -     SDS by providing the appearance of using Aerospace company's ongoing efforts
AM2201 -     to develop KM, even though these efforts have not yielded
AM2202 -     progress on a solution like SDS.

AP0607 - A possible solution is to use the unemployed to find things for people
AP0608 - on the job.  This avoids paying the cost of finding things, and gives
AP0609 - people something to do, so they feel wanted and avoid trouble, under
AP0610 - the rule "Idle hands are the friend of the devil.  If someone doing KM
AP0611 - on the job, gets hired, then there are plenty of others who can fill
AP0612 - the gap.  Hopefully, there will be someone unemployed to find things
AP0613 - for the new-hire's new job, who will not have time to find anything

AP0619 - Gary related there is a big stack of documents that need indexing, and
AP0620 - his colleagues have similar stacks of documents.  Plus, there is a lot
AP0621 - of information on the Internet to review.
AP0623 -  ..
AP0624 - The typical approach is to create an SDS record and simply state in
AP0625 - the record what is found in a document that may be relevant to a
AP0626 - project objective and requirement, and where that information was
AP0627 - found.  This avoids the problem of scanning and having to do extensive
AP0628 - indexing, by reducing the task to taking notes, and then adding the
AP0629 - eight (8) steps to the notes.
AP0631 -  ..
AP0632 - Some of documents will require more extensive indexing, but whatever
AP0633 - level of analysis is required, SDS makes creating work product faster
AP0634 - and easier than other methods, and it makes the work product that
AP0635 - results more useful, provided the eight (8) steps are followed.

AP0638 - Gary noted that so far there has not been a big demand on his part of
AP0639 - the  combat project to find information in the SDS records he has created,
AP0640 - because everyday, people are working on new issues.  This experience
AP0641 - reflects the character of "knowledge."  We invest intellectual capital
AP0642 - each day in order to harvest a rich history of "knowledge" when needed
AP0643 - days, weeks, months and years down the road, when those little
AP0644 - inconsequential details turn into major problems, noted by Morris on
