200516 -    1.  Gary's experience using SDS at a
200517 -        major aerospace contracting firm
200518 -        indicates a lesson learned that
200519 -        other people using SDS can increase
200520 -        synergy from collaboration for other
200521 -        projects and organizations..................... ref SDS F3 526L

200526 -        supports lessons learned....................... ref SDS F3 Q15I
200528 -         ..
200529 -    3.  Experience using SDS for 20 years
200530 -        supports lesson learned from story
200531 -        of Hansel and Gretle investing time
200532 -        organizing and linking strengthens
200533 -        discovery, memory and understanding
200534 -        of critical details that aid analysis
200535 -        for strategy and planning...................... ref SDS F3 GJ69
200537 -         ..
200538 -    4.  USACE reported lesson learned that
200539 -        Communication Metrics improves daily
200540 -        work by adding intelligence to
200541 -        management..................................... ref DRP 3 6172
200543 -         ..
200544 -    5.  USACE reported lesson learned that
200545 -        using SDS improves common management
200546 -        practice for drawing on experience to
200547 -        discover lessons learned....................... ref SDS F3 5V6Q
200549 -         ..
200550 -    6.  USACE reported lesson learned that
200551 -        organic structure to manage context
200552 -        increases synergy from collaboration
200553 -        by organizing and linking to strengthen
200554 -        discovery, memory and understanding
200555 -        of critical details that aid analysis
200556 -        for strategy and planning to improve
200557 -        management and productivity by saving
200558 -        a lot of time and money ....................... ref DRP 4 4172
200560 -         ..
200561 -    7.  People learn from exposure to accept
200562 -        and then expect to get records with
200563 -        the SDS format and style of Knowledge
200564 -        Space, because experience brings
200565 -        discovery that knowledge works better
200566 -        than information for getting things
200567 -        done accurately, on time and within
200568 -        budget......................................... ref SDS F3 164F
200570 -         ..
200571 -    8.  Transformation requires early
200572 -        adopters who "get it" to give
200573 -        links into foundational documents
200574 -        explaining the "it" they got,
200575 -        in order to build faith in others
200576 -        to try a new way of working for
200577 -        a long enough time to discover
200578 -        the power of knowledge from using
200579 -        good management practices saves
200580 -        a lot of time and money........................ ref SDS F3 PQ4L
200582 -             ..
200583 -            [On 040216 Gary's record on 040129 shows progress learning
200584 -            to use explicit link in foundational documents to empower
200585 -            people with immediate access that grows association between
200586 -            SDS support and Com Metrics theory and practice.
200587 -            ref SDS G3 KI7H
200589 -         ..
200590 -    9.  People get mad when analysis in the
200591 -        record conflicts with their memory
200592 -        of events, because everybody has a
200593 -        different interpretation attending
200594 -        events and participating in the
200595 -        same discussion........................ 961017, ref SDS 33 5832
200597 -         ..
200598 -   10.  People get mad and frustrated
200599 -        by getting lost in links and
200600 -        proclaim they hate the history
200601 -        of work maintained in project
200602 -        archives before they learn to
200603 -        navigate in a connected record
200604 -        of Knowledge Space..................... 000824, ref SDS 70 7O9I
200606 -         ..
200607 -   11.  People get mad anyway when everybody
200608 -        is pointing fingers in accusation
200609 -        and blame from remembering things
200610 -        differently because nobody can point
200611 -        to a record of organizational
200612 -        memory................................. 020217, ref SDS 86 9360
200614 -         ..
200615 -   12.  Without SDS to maintain alignment
200616 -        between daily work and objectives,
200617 -        requirements and commitments under
200618 -        lesson 3, little, inconsequential
200619 -        details later explode into major
200620 -        problems -- and everybody gets
200621 -        mad.................................... 921127, ref SDS 11 0674
200623 -         ..
200624 -   13.  Limited span of attention causes
200625 -        lessons learned long ago to be
200626 -        overlooked and forgotten on the
200627 -        job due to information overload
200628 -        illustrated by lesson 3 and 9
200629 -        having been laid down by Aristotle
200630 -        in 400 BC...................................... ref OF 10 JV3G
200632 -         ..
200633 -   14.  Standards and regulations for
200634 -        good management are hidden in
200635 -        plain sight by information
200636 -        overload that overwhelms limited
200637 -        span of attention, creating a
200638 -        permanent "fog of war" on the
200639 -        job going from one meeting to
200640 -        the next, continual calls and
200641 -        email.................................. 030708, ref SDS C3 LV8G
200643 -         ..
200644 -   15.  Forgetting critical details,
200645 -        lessons learned with everybody
200646 -        remembering things differently
200647 -        in the "fog of war" where meaning
200648 -        drifts continually standards and
200649 -        regulations for good management
200650 -        are hidden in plain sight by
200651 -        success of technology creating
200652 -        faster flow of information, making
200653 -        communication the biggest risk in
200654 -        enterprise because nobody has time
200655 -        to think; biological drive for
200656 -        immediacy drives reliance to work
200657 -        by conversation that seems fast
200658 -        and easy makes management an
200659 -        Alice in Wonderland of continual
200660 -        bumbling............................... 940609, ref SDS 16 4238
200662 -         ..
200663 -   16.  There is a ripple effect when too
200664 -        many people have too many problems
200665 -        remembering critical details and
200666 -        connecting the dots accurately,
200667 -        productivity, earnings and stock
200668 -        prices fall and then everybody
200669 -        really gets mad........................ 001207, ref SDS 72 V54M
200671 -         ..
200672 -   17.  SDS support for accurate memory is
200673 -        better than forgetting................. 031008, ref SDS D5 KR6X
200675 -         ..
200676 -   18.  Analysis that connects the dots
200677 -        of causation drives strategy and
200678 -        planning to improve productivity
200679 -        and earnings........................... 031008, ref SDS D5 KR5Y
200681 -         ..
200682 -   19.  Learning SDS makes people mad by
200683 -        taking more than 20 minutes when
200684 -        everybody is pressed for time; but,
200685 -        saving lives, time and money by
200686 -        using SDS for "intelligence" to
200687 -        connect the dots in organizational
200688 -        memory for accurate understanding
200689 -        of cause and effect improves
200690 -        earnings, productivity and stock
200691 -        prices that changes attitudes from
200692 -        mad to glad............................ 890809, ref SDS 4 MK3H
200694 -         ..
200695 -   20.  Helping people discover opportunity
200696 -        and new skills for improving
200697 -        personal and organizational
200698 -        management is like walking through
200699 -        the valley of death.................... 980307, ref SDS 43 1657
200701 -         ..
200702 -   21.  Relentless pressure being persistent
200703 -        delivering "the goods" with SDS under
200704 -        point 7, ref SDS F3 PX9X, transforms
200705 -        cultural power to first question,
200706 -        then resist popular, ineffective
200707 -        methods, format and style as "old
200708 -        fashioned"; working intelligently
200709 -        that initially seems funny, foreign
200710 -        and alien is gradually transformed
200711 -        into popular demand for good
200712 -        management............................. 030524, ref SDS B5 9X62
200714 -         ..
200715 -   22.  SDS design enables advance from
200716 -        information to a culture of
200717 -        knowledge, providing a platform
200718 -        for continual development...................... ref SDS F3 HH7M
200720 -         ..
200721 -   23.  Design for technology to advance
200722 -        from information to knowledge
200723 -        defined by POIMS has proven
200724 -        difficult for people to
200725 -        develop................................ 020608, ref SDS 88 QV5G
200727 -         ..
200728 -   24.  People who sound the call for
200729 -        a new way of working using a
200730 -        "knowledge repository" resist
200731 -        using links for applying a
200732 -        knowledge repository................... 020812, ref SDS 90 659F
200734 -         ..
200735 -   25.  Without regular support using SDS
200736 -        good management becomes invisible,
200737 -        out of sight and out of mind; demand
200738 -        falls for organizational memory because
200739 -        limited span of attention and the
200740 -        "fog of war" from continual bumbling,
200741 -        crisis and calamity make people
200742 -        forget a little intelligence goes a
200743 -        long way toward saving lives, time
200744 -        and money using Communication
200745 -        Metrics................................ 011006, ref SDS 82 O99K
200747 -         ..
200748 -   26.  Innovation slow in organizations
200749 -        because discovering new ideas and
200750 -        better methods and technology
200751 -        requires experimenting to improve
200752 -        command and control of the work,
200753 -        and exercising command and control
200754 -        inherently resists pilot testing
200755 -        to experiment, causing an innovation
200756 -        loop that can only be solved by
200757 -        flying below the radar, where
200758 -        individuals take initiative that
200759 -        risks personal loss.................... 040203, ref SDS F9 E44K

531607 -
531608 - Gary commented on 030531 that the Subject Index is advanced technology
531609 - for organizing and managing context to support command and control of
531610 - daily work that takes time to learn. ref SDS B7 WL3R  The Subject
531611 - Index is not physically hard to use, and concepts for organic
531612 - structure to "grow knowledge" can be grasped from the model of DNA
531613 - that grows life, explained in NWO. ref OF 11 5846  These concepts have
531614 - been applied over millennia at the personal level through common
531615 - practices using staples, paper clips, binders, tabs, and placing
531616 - documents in alphabetical or chronological order using folders,
531617 - computer directories, or stacked on a desk, on the floor, coffee
531618 - table, or the back seat of a car, noted on 000601. ref SDS 63 6035  At
531619 - the organizational level, filing, records management and library
531620 - management have evolved to manage daily working information.  SDS
531621 - integrates personal and organizational management methods, under
531622 - POIMS, ref OF 3 01TU, by assigning organization to information at the
531623 - level of granularity needed to understand context, rather than the
531624 - traditional method of moving documents into a fixed structure set by
531625 - the comptroller.  This new design transcends ancient traditions of
531626 - handling documents by managing content based on evolving context of
531627 - daily work and correlations with other content.  On 920215, Morris
531628 - reported experience showing change to counterintuitive methods that
531629 - improve long standing practices are hard to learn. ref SDS 9 5820
531630 - Gary made a similar point on 030114. ref SDS A0 B1C5  On 890809 Morris
531631 - reported people are reluctant to use a new way of working that
531632 - obviates years of prior investment learning difficult, time consuming
531633 - practices for using staples, paper clips, binders, Outlook, Word,
531634 - wikis, blogs, and the like. ref SDS F5 2079  This record suggests that
531635 - in the instant case, Gary sees the need to track lessons learned, and
531636 - may not want to use the Subject Index.
531638 -  ..
531639 - The problem to solve is the complexity of existence, noted by Steven
531640 - Pinker in his book "How the Mind Works," reviewed on 990329.
531641 - ref SDS 47 GP2S, and addressed on 890523 with the SDS design for
531642 - flexible structure. ref SDS 3 SQ5L  The subconscious mind buffers
531643 - complexity in order to permit the conscious mind to take immediate
531644 - action by making connections that seem useful to address situational
531645 - awareness, i.e., circumstances in the moment. see POIMS, ref OF 3 8536
531646 - The design of innate cognition spares the conscious mind the burden of
531647 - converting complex information into knowledge.  POIMS explains that
531648 - connections for causation and organic structure mostly occur on
531649 - automatic pilot. ref OF 3 V57N  Reliance on the binary process of
531650 - human cognition works well enough for humanity to dominate other
531651 - species and evolve into civilization, but causes mistakes when
531652 - decisions that impact success relate to subjects beyond the moment, as
531653 - set out in NWO. ref OF 11 14IA
531655 -  ..
531656 - In the new emerging reality of the 21st century, situational
531657 - awareness, remains critical to survival, but is now relatively less
531658 - important than capability to "connect the dots" for recognizing
531659 - patterns of cause and effect, so that people can (a) plan ahead to be
531660 - prepared for events that unfold later by seeing over the horizon and
531661 - beyond the moment, and then (b) maintain alignment so that original
531662 - understandings can be implemented, rather than become confused and
531663 - misguided by a sea of details that occur between planning and taking
531664 - action.  Management in the new world order requires new skills to be
531665 - prepared for taking action days, weeks, months and years later.  Tools
531666 - that complement subconscious processing by leveraging conscious
531667 - analysis to proactively manage the organic structure of evolving
531668 - context, as explained in POIMS, ref OF 3 G26H, enable leadership with
531669 - a broader vision, as set out in NWO. ref OF 10 8303 Therefore,
531670 - confronting the Pandora's Box of complexity encountered in performing
531671 - context management, noted on 000221, ref SDS 59 L58O, is initially
531672 - shocking and frustrating until people become familiar with a new way
531673 - of working in the Subject Index, and discover SDS makes a better
531674 - partnership between technology and leadership by making good practices
531675 - fast and easy, and increasing the rewards of good management. see
531676 - POIMS, ref OF 3 6221, and discussion below. ref SDS F3 393U
531678 -  ..
531679 - An easier, less comprehensive way to track lessons learned is to use
531680 - only Functions.  A more comprehensive method is to use both Functions
531681 - and Subjects.
531683 -  ..
531684 - Gary notes today that all of these methods use the Control Field
531685 - system for command and control, also, noted above, ref SDS F3 1K4J,
531686 - including action items, and schedule and cost control from identifying
531687 - employee, billable organization, time and mileage, providing an
531688 - effective electronic time card.
531690 -  ..
531691 - Control Fields organize the continual story of life into smaller
531692 - organic segments (also "chunks") of personal and organizational memory
531693 - that fit span of attention, discussed on 990303 reviewing George
531694 - Miller's research. ref SDS 45 6120  Segments also enable assembling
531695 - the record into alternate views that greatly expand synthesis for
531696 - pattern recognition, commonly called "discovery."  Morris noted on
531697 - 950223 that SDS flexible provides granular control, similar to the way
531698 - people use outlining and 3 x 5 cards. ref SDS 21 9933  On 010916 Eric
531699 - Armstrong reported experience showing that SDS enables amazing memory
531700 - with methods that obviously work. ref SDS 80 0001  Control Fields
531701 - support these requirements for leveraging intelligence to lift the
531702 - capacity to think, remember and communicate, explained in POIMS.
531703 - ref OF 7 3742  On 971007 USACE reported Communication Metrics supports
531704 - command and control, explained in POIMS, ref OF 7 1113, that saves

531708 - Gary indicated Control Fields take extra time to create and to
531709 - navigate by scrolling the record up and down with F9 and F10 and the
531710 - mouse.  Research on 000307 indicates SDS makes Knowledge Management
531711 - faster and easier than using other tools and methods, reported on
531712 - 000307. ref SDS 60 5362  This year, with Gary's help, thousands of
531713 - keystrokes per day have been reduced for performing knowledge work,
531714 - per above. ref SDS F3 JY5K  Using SDS takes more time to create
531715 - knowledge than relying on information technology by remembering the
531716 - gist of the story, and this time invested to work intelligently saves
531717 - lives, time and money, per above. ref SDS F3 5W32
531719 -  ..
531720 - Gary explains Control Fields are a new way of working that conflicts
531721 - with traditional methods for narrative, text and analysis.  They look
531722 - funny and are hard to create because pressing F1 F6 is awkward on the
531723 - keyboard.  Additionally, pausing to think about organic structure in
531724 - order to be prepared for finding critical details later takes more
531725 - time in the moment, and people usually have another meeting to attend
531726 - or call to make, so there is rarely enough time to think on the job,
531727 - as reported at the PMI event on 970910. ref SDS 40 3479  All of these
531728 - factors together make command and control, called out in POIMS,
531729 - ref OF 7 1113, annoying and undesirable for some, because, a new way

531755 - The structure of Knowledge Space supported by SDS, explained in POIMS,
531756 - ref OF 3 034J, boils down to what does it take to save lives, time and
531757 - money?
531759 -  ..
531760 - Gary noted today that Control Fields are not needed to manage lessons
531761 - learned because a system could be devised to flag lines similar to the
531762 - action item system, per above. ref SDS F3 PA68  Adding another flag for
531763 - lessons learned seems less obtrusive than using Control Fields, and
531764 - this would reduce the need for Control Fields.  In sum, the action
531765 - item system is relatively fast and easy, and so Gary proposes managing
531766 - lessons learned the same way.
531768 -  ..
531769 - The mission of Gary's project to improve command and control using
531770 - computers for better communication, surveillance and reconnaissance
531771 - requires a new way of working intelligently, which Gary discussed with
531772 - Bruce on 030121, reported on 030123. ref SDS A1 S05L
531774 -  ..
531775 - SDS manages Action Items with both "Subject" and "Special" sections in
531776 - Control Fields, reported on 951126. ref SDS 26 8B89  This double entry
531777 - method improves intelligence by increasing command of the record
531778 - through better visibility that enables timely control the work by
531779 - ensuring needed action is not overlooked, and that the correct action
531780 - is taken based on alignment to the context of the original guidance.
531781 - The importance of getting things done quickly and accurately to save
531782 - lives, time and money justifies increased visibility for taking
531783 - action.
531785 -  ..
531786 - Using this method for lessons learned would require adding another
531787 - highlight flag, which increases the complexity of the record.  The
531788 - "Special" Control Field could be revised to accommodate another use
531789 - case.  Will this enhance command and control explained in POIMS?
531790 - ref OF 7 1113
531792 -  ..
531793 - Applying an action item-like method to manage a deliberative process
531794 - for lessons learned, per above, ref SDS F3 PA84, may be conflicting.
531796 -  ..
531797 - Action items are volital, spontaneous events that come and go at
531798 - particular points in time, as when an assignment or commitment is made
531799 - to do something.  Most action items come from communication during
531800 - meetings, discussions or in documents.  Action items can be derived
531801 - from review of history (i.e., the record of what has been done) in
531802 - relation to objectives and requirements in contracts, and similar
531803 - instruments.  In all cases, by definition, "action" is driven by
531804 - urgency.
531806 -  ..
531807 - Lessons learned are not urgent nor volital.  They do not come and go,
531808 - but are discerned gradually over time, and almost never leave the
531809 - scene; but, rather, hang around for millennia, illustrated by the
531810 - lesson Aristotle learned about accurate understanding. see NWO,
531811 - ref OF 10 JV3G  Learning uses deliberative analysis to "connect the
531812 - dots" from accumulation of experience.  SDS manages experience with
531813 - Subjects and Functions to organize history and knowledge.  Learning a
531814 - "lesson" often implies discovering through hard won experience that
531815 - common sense belief about cause and effect turns out to be incorrect,
531816 - and so "connecting the dots" over time reveals counterintuitive truth,
531817 - as related by Bruce on 030830. ref SDS D2 TY9H
531819 -  ..
531820 - Thus, lessons learned require tools to accumulate and access evidence
531821 - from history in multiple views for evolving context, and is enabled by
531822 - the organic structure of the Subject Index.  Action items do not
531823 - typically result from accumulating evidence and research; but instead
531824 - require tools to manage spontaneous assignment by tracking the context
531825 - of dynamic events.
531827 -  ..
531828 - Gary correctly points out that lessons learned have a common structure
531829 - with action items because both occur across subjects.  This justifies
531830 - investing time for further study.
531832 -  ..
531833 - For example, since action items come and go, an action item report is
531834 - feasible, because, as people perform tasks, the list remains
531835 - manageable.  Lessons learned, on the other hand, are continual.  A
531836 - lesson learned in 400 BC, a lesson learned in 400 AD, 1400, 1950,
531837 - 2000, etc., remain, per above. ref SDS F3 YX5I  Since a report on
531838 - lessons learned comparable to action items would be endless, more
531839 - thought is needed on this matter.
531841 -  ..
531842 - In effect, the subject index is the organizing mechanism for lessons
531843 - learned by enabling people to report on the chronology that shows
531844 - cause and effect based on the organic structure of context.  This
531845 - might be refined by keeping a separate account for "lessons learned"
531846 - in each major subject.
531847 -
531848 -    Wound up creating a new account for "Lessons Learned" in Research

611045 - In sum, resistance to improvement is a universal force that takes time
611046 - and persistence to overcome, leading to Gary's point about the need
611047 - for relentless pressure, per above. ref SDS F3 PB61  Gary's letter on
611048 - 011210 cited authority suggesting that in a large, established culture
611049 - fundamental change takes years to reach critical mass. ref SDS 83 R66K
611050 - An example is literacy.  Alphabet technology emerged on the scene in
611051 - about 700 BC, and took 400 years to be applied for analysis, reported
611052 - on 991108. ref SDS 56 7048  Over the next 2000 years, barely 1% of the
611053 - population was literate.  Beginning in about 1455 with the invention
611054 - of the printing press, literacy began to accelerate, and then in about
611055 - 1850 public policy changed to support universal literacy.  Once a
611056 - critical mass of people adopted literacy, civilization advanced
611057 - rapidly from a largely agrarian existence eeking out the necessities
611058 - by tilling the land, to the modern era of opulence where the biggest
611059 - challenge is finding a place to park at the mall, or a diet that
611060 - enables losing weight without effort, and hoping the Rover will send

681025 - Over the past 20 years experience shows that applying the 3-layer

681054 - A record of strong acceptance by people who experience Com Metrics,
681055 - and strong resistance by those without experience, noted for example
681056 - by Leonard Soohoo in his report on the Oakland Harbor project,
681057 - ref DRP 3 1372, has caused discontinuity of sales.  Many people have
681058 - published strong endorsements and worked hard to institutionalize SDS,
681059 - e.g., USACE. ref DRP 3 6172  Those efforts have not been adequate to
681060 - help people overcome ignorance, fear and denial as a result of not

681062 - Metrics, illustrated by the record on 941228, ref SDS 18 9954, and
681063 - more recently at SRI reported on 010522, ref SDS 76 E688
681065 -  ..
681066 - This record yields a lesson learned...  People who "get it" through
681067 - experience under step 2, ref SDS F3 393U, cannot explain their faith in
681068 - a new way of working well enough to impart enough faith for others,
681069 - who have not experienced SDS work product, to try long enough to
681070 - discover the power of knowledge.  Generally, people don't have the
681071 - words and phrases to make a coherent explanation of their experience
681072 - using "intelligence" delivered by SDS work product, because the
681073 - explanation must synthesize management, computer and cognitive science
681074 - into the new science of Communication Metrics, see NWO. ref OF 13 6369
681075 - People who study and understand management science (which is a much
681076 - smaller group than the people responsible to perform management), do
681077 - not know computer science, and those familiar with computers don't
681078 - know management science.  Very few people in the entire world grasp
681079 - cognitive science in relation to management and computers, and most
681080 - people view cognitive science as largely a mystery. see again NWO.
681081 - ref OF 14 42HC  Remedying this shortfall leads to the 3rd step in the
681082 - 3-layer architecture of continual education about SDS and Com Metrics
681083 - in relation to good management practices, using links to foundational
681084 - documents. ref SDS F3 1656

961411 - and getting favorable feedback under step (1), listed above,
961412 - ref SDS F3 UO6T, shows steady growth in Gary's awareness, experience
961413 - and skills using SDS, and also growth by project staff in recognizing
961414 - benefits of organizational memory, due to Gary's excellent writing
961415 - skills.  This meets objectives for using SDS on the project.  On

961484 - good management is beyond reach, which otherwise discourages efforts

961573 - technology for working intelligently.  As Caesar described democracy
961574 - for the Roman republic during the 1st century, so, too, SDS is a mere

AM0711 - knowledge, to implement strategy for 2nd act, per above. ref SDS F3
AM0712 - 1L30  In recent days, Gary has submitted references to other sources
AM0713 - for quotes that may align with Com Metrics theory and practice, but
AM0714 - are not linked back to the foundational documents.  Adding links could
AM0715 - make creating improvements to foundational documents faster and easier

AM0721 - An example is Gary's idea reported on 030708 of SDS benefits being
AM0722 - difficult for people to grasp because good management practice is

AM0739 - is hard because finding ideas, analysis and explanations takes time
