311204 - he and Gil attended online to present a case for the Architecture
311205 - Committee to make SDS an Aerospace company standard.  Sending a letter
311206 - to Gil with a copy to the Committee provides proactive leadership

311208 - job explaining SDS, ref SDS 0 YD6T, and Gary identified two (2)

311210 - information technologies (IT). ref SDS 0 UO7G  Analysis today, shows
311211 - several more advantages that may justify approval by the Committee.
311212 - ref SDS 0 B56I  A major issue is identifying the class of work for
311213 - which SDS sets a standard.  We have decided to avoid Knowledge

311611 -        evidently won approval with a vote of 3 to 1 in favor of SDS
311612 -        at the initial review meeting by the Aerospace company Architecture
311613 -        Committee. ref DIT 1 0001  Your record of the presentation,
311614 -        ref SDS 37 0001, indicates the scope of SDS was effectively
311615 -        conveyed to the committee, ref DIT 1 MX6N, using plans in a
311616 -        letter the day before, on Tuesday, 040511, ref SDS 36 0001  The
311617 -        "2nd Act" submitting a letter linked to your record of the
311618 -        hearing can give Gil and the Committee experience with SDS work
311619 -        product that demonstrates the meaning of what was presented on
311620 -        support for Communication Metrics, pursuant to Tom Keesling's
311621 -        comments explaining experience at USACE on 961101. ref SDS 6
311622 -        8888  This experience can, in turn, create positive synergy
311623 -        that grows support for putting SDS records on a secure intranet
311624 -        to increase productivity at Aerospace company, as explained below.

311632 - letters when opportunities arise for associating SDS capabilities with
311633 - daily work that people care about. ref SDS 26 1L30  Giving people
311634 - experience with the power of "knowledge" by accessing links on the
311635 - Internet that are not confidential, grows demand for getting SDS
311636 - records on a secure intranet.  The strategy on the Aerospace company
311637 - project has been to expose people to a stronger working opportunity by
311638 - providing SDS records with links in email.  On 031211 Steve validated
311639 - this strategy by asking for links.  We want to increase demand from a
311640 - whisper to a broadbased clamor.  This strategy can be tested by
311641 - working with the Architecture Committee on the SDS issue.

311654 -        transformation to a culture of knowledge, also, discussed
311655 -        below. ref SDS 0 YE3Y  A "2nd Act" sending a letter requesting

311665 -        communication and action on approving SDS for a Aerospace company standard
311666 -        to support good management by consistently applying the
311667 -        "intelligence" cycle for "plan, perform, report," summarized as

490447 -        This feeling is supported by experience working with PG&E,
490448 -        which is comparable size to Aerospace company.  In that case, on 941228
490449 -        Bill DeHart reported that POIMS was too sophisticated, because

600416 -        better productivity on routine daily work by accessing SDS
600417 -        links on a secure company intranet.  Exposure to self-evident
600418 -        benefits of accurate understanding enabled by SDS links, which
600419 -        you explained to the Committee yesterday under point 1,
600420 -        ref SDS 0 UO7G, also, fits the model of "relentless pressure,"
600421 -        which you proposed on 031211 to grow demand for the power of
600422 -        knowledge, ref SDS 24 PE5Y, planned in the strategy set on

600425 -        also, reported on 031211. ref SDS 24 5U6J  A variety of factors
600426 -        limit exposure to SDS links on your project at Aerospace company, e.g.,
600427 -        there are few links in the record, and none can demonstrate the
600428 -        power of connecting the dots showing cause and effect over time
600429 -        based on context, because the work is confidential, and there
600430 -        is not a secure intranet available to empower people on the
600431 -        project with access to the power of knowledge in SDS links.
600432 -        This condition, that severely limits exposure to "intelligence"
600433 -        in SDS records, extends the time for relentless pressure to
600434 -        reach critical mass that demands putting SDS on an intranet to
600435 -        expedite progress of the work, and which, in turn, accelerates
600436 -        demand for working intelligently.
