150939 - SDS and Communication Metrics expands C4PM markets by offering
150940 - customers ability to integrate cost, schedule and communication
150941 - control, based on the Kerzner seminar reported on 950202. ref SDS 4
150942 - 5005

150949 -  ..
150950 - Gopal asked how SDS works?
150952 -  ..
150953 - Gopal offered the thought that someone uses SDS to write down their
150954 - memory of events, like Rod did for the seminar Gopal presented on
150955 - 950428, ref SDS 5 0001, and later everybody can benefit from an
150956 - objective recorded history (also diary, journal, record, etc) for an
150957 - accurate understanding of organizational memory, rather than rely on
150958 - personal recall, as Gopal noted on 031206. ref SDS 20 ON8M
150960 -  ..
150961 - Gopal asked why people don't use Microsoft Word, Outlook or similar
150962 - tools for this purpose?
150964 -  ..
150965 - Microsoft has excellent software for creating information.  On 021108
150966 - Bill Gates explained Microsoft programs need integration to make
150967 - commands fast and easy to use. ref SDS 18 EFBE  Bill also plans to
150968 - make finding relevant information fast and easy. ref SDS 18 EF5I  This
150969 - means that as of today, working intelligently is not fast and easy
150970 - using Microsoft programs.  As a result, people rely on memory rather
150971 - than use good management to check the record, because personal memory
150972 - is a lot faster and easier than trying to find critical details
150973 - created with Microsoft programs, as set out yesterday on 031211.
150974 - ref SDS 21 I95V  Generally people don't worry about accuracy because
150975 - personal memory seems good enough to avoid accountability for
150976 - mistakes, until castrophy strikes as on 010911. ref SDS 14 UP5K  This
150977 - point was brought home a few days earlier on 010908. ref SDS 13 0001
150979 -  ..
150980 - SDS already has integrated commands that make creating and finding
150981 - relevant information fast and easy, reported on 010916. ref SDS 15
150982 - 0001
150984 -  ..
150985 - We discussed the need to add a new work role for performing
150986 - Communication Metrics.
150988 -  ..
150989 - Project Management is a good place for this new role to evolve because
150990 - there is already a role conducive to the skills needed for using SDS.
150991 - On large projects there is an assistant project management, or an
150992 - assistant superintendant, assistant program manager.

151000 - Seminars Supported by Delivering Intelligence on the Internet
151001 -
151002 - Project management seminars and training events provide a platform for
151003 - demonstrating benefits of Communication Metrics by providing a
151004 - deliverable to attendees following a professional event that shows
151005 - action items people can execute back at the office, similar to the
151006 - record on 950428. ref SDS 5 0001  When attendees get an SDS record
151007 - linked through email on the computer, this encourages action, because
151008 - clicking on the links demonstrates that SDS enables good management
151009 - that can be readily used to save time and money, which appeals to what
151010 - customers care about.
