060518 -    3.  I wanted to get this to you sooner than my next update
060519 -        (sometime this weekend).
060521 -         ..
060522 -    4.  It is still rough, but I feel pretty good about parts of it.
060524 -         ..
060525 -    5.  I also wanted to make sure I still remembered how to publish to

060542 -    a.  Subject: SDS Acceptance to Augment Intelligence
060543 -        Date: Sun, 03 Aug 2003 06:10:52 -0700
060544 -        From: Rod Welch
060545 -        To: "Garold (Gary) L. Johnson"

060548 -         ..
060549 -    b.  Gary,
060550 -
060551 -        Excellent analysis in your record today of "intellectual
060552 -        bridges" that help people understand the advance from documents
060553 -        to a culture of knowledge. ref SDS 5 0001
060555 -         ..
060556 -    c.  Your explanation is cogent and compelling on how common
060557 -        experience using traditional "documents," ref SDS 5 0148, and
060558 -        "diaries," ref SDS 5 VF4F, cause the benefits of SDS to be
060559 -        "hidden in plain sight," as explained in your letter received
060560 -        on 030708. ref SDS 4 LV8G
060562 -         ..
060563 -    d.  Drawing these out, as you have in the manner of the child
060564 -        noting the "Emperor has no cloths," helps people step from the
060565 -        old world of sole reliance on documents to a new world order of
060566 -        "Knowledge Space," defined in POIMS. ref OF 2 034J
060568 -         ..
060569 -    e.  Couple of quick points which don't need immediate attention,
060570 -        but may justify consideration when time permits....
060571 -
060572 -        1.  There are a few spelling errors and places where a word may
060573 -            have been omitted that is needed, or should be removed, to
060574 -            convey meaning.
060576 -             ..
060577 -        2.  Standard SDS format is that below the Summary/Objective,
060578 -            which is well crafted in your record, we need a structure
060579 -            break that is typically identified with a single word like
060580 -            "Progress" or in this case "Analysis" or something similar.
060581 -            See the example on 030708. ref SDS 4 7L6J
060583 -             ..
060584 -            This is not a requirement for SDS, but has proven to be
060585 -            good practice for Com Metrics by refining the mental
060586 -            perspective on the task at hand.
060588 -             ..
060589 -        3.  Recall the objective on 020924 to correlate analysis to
060590 -            foundational documents in POIMS, etc. ref SDS 3 0001
060592 -             ..
060593 -        4.  Consideration should be given to customer "barriers" and
060594 -            "resistance" that are reported in the record under SI
060595 -            account 03 00050 01 05 10.
060597 -             ..
060598 -            An example is account 03 00050 01 05 10 09CI citing Andy
060599 -            Grove noting people are inoculated against improvement by
060600 -            success, reported on 980307. ref SDS 1 3740  Since
060601 -            "success" is relative, Grove's analysis extends to everyone
060602 -            on the job because skills seem adequate by virtue of
060603 -            success holding an assignment, never mind that most of the
060604 -            time on the job is spent fixing mistakes, under the theory
060605 -            of "rework" set out in the Corps of Engineer's report on
060606 -            971007. ref DRP 3 4172
060608 -             ..
060609 -            Other barriers arise from the tension between the desire to
060610 -            know and understand that is enabled by SDS, and the fear of
060611 -            accountability because so and so "knew or reasonably should
060612 -            have known," thus and so, as noted in POIMS. ref OF 6 4079
060614 -             ..
060615 -            How do these attitudes that drive common excuses for
060616 -            failure to improve cited by Secretary of Defense Don
060617 -            Rumsfeld, ref SDS 2 KW9N, weigh against the growing need
060618 -            for improvement, also, noted by Rumsfeld in remarks to the
060619 -            War College, reported on 020131. ref SDS 2 QE4H
060621 -             ..
060622 -        5.  Try to correlate better memory and analysis enabled by SDS
060623 -            to formal requirements for "good management" (mentioned in
060624 -            your record discussing the scientific method....
060626 -             ..
060627 -            http://www.welchco.com/sd/08/GLJDY/02/03/08/02/073004.HTM#IL60
060628 -
060629 -            ...)  There may be helpful guidance on this in POIMS discussing
060630 -            "Command and Control of the Record"....
060632 -             ..
060633 -            http://www.welchco.com/03/00050/01/09/01/02/00030.HTM#1113
060635 -             ..
060636 -            How can we help people bridge the gap between published standards
060637 -            for traceability to original sources, supported by experts and by
060638 -            government regulations, as noted in POIMS....
060640 -             ..

060642 -
060643 -            ...and which are ignored because good management is hard work
060644 -            using conventional methods, however, even though SDS makes
060645 -            compliance fast and easy, there is no enforcement of standards,
060646 -            policy and regulations, so demand for SDS to enable good
060647 -            management remains latent, rather a patent reality that drives
060648 -            sales and improves lives.  It's another KM dilemma that fits the
060649 -            model of your analysis on advantages of SDS.
060651 -             ..
060652 -        6.  Correlate support for good management under para 4 to
060653 -            requirements for CFISR that is one way people think about
060654 -            overcoming the daily "fog of war" on the battlefield, in
060655 -            the boardroom, the engineering office, etc., as occurred at
060656 -            Enron and elsewhere.

060667 -            Was Professor Ransdell correct in his letter on 000716 that
060668 -            SDS enables a theory of knowledge that underlies
