171401 - Follow up ref SDS 13 ID8T.
171402 -
171403 - Gary advised that yesterday there was a teleconference to follow up
171404 - work on 040529 in which Gary was assigned to develop support as the
171405 - resident "expert" on the project intranet system. ref SDS 13 ID8T
171407 -  ..
171408 - Gary explained in a call today, that this assignment was confirmed in
171409 - a follow up teleconference with his management in the project M&S
171410 - group, and the firm's manager for the ACE intranet system.
171412 -  ..
171413 - During the teleconference, the staff identified a company objective
171414 - for the intranet to support dynamic alignment, which is a core
171415 - component of working "intelligently," set out in POIMS, ref OF 6 1X6G,
171416 - and more commonly called...
171417 -
171418 -                    Traceability to Original Sources
171420 -  ..
171421 - This breakthrough helps overcome cultural resistance against good
171422 - management, reviewed on 040203, ref SDS 8 E44K, and citing prior
171423 - analysis on 990527. ref SDS 3 1233
171424 -
171425 -     [On 040618 draft letter for Gary to confirm understandings that
171426 -     correlate project objectives for CFISR with SDS support for good
171427 -     management practices that enable people to work intelligently.
171428 -     ref SDS 16 UR6H
171430 -  ..
171431 - Intranet support for "intelligence" on the job is a powerful step in
171432 - transformation from information to a culture of knowledge, and is
171433 - essential for compliance with industry standards and regulations for
171434 - improving collaboration, recently discussed with the Architecture
171435 - Committee.  For example, the record on 950721 shows that maintaining
171436 - an audit trail to align daily work with objectives, requirements and
171437 - commitments from calls, meetings, contracts, specifications, and other
171438 - instruments, is a common standard for good management. ref SDS 1 1740
171439 - Review of governement regulations on 020504 shows this requirement has
171440 - historically been implemented using "documentation," which today is
171441 - supported by popular information technology, like Microsoft Outlook,
171442 - Word, Powerpoint, Excell, etc., ref SDS 4 XV7L
171444 -  ..
171445 - Adding Intranet support for the M&S group using SDS will solve the
171446 - common problem that prevents industry and government from complying
171447 - with requirements and regulations, because popular technology does not
171448 - make traceability fast and easy, reported on 020504, ref SDS 4 NS6F,
171449 - and citing the record on 951026. ref SDS 2 3384  Accordingly, as
171450 - noted, support for "intelligence" using SDS on the project intranet
171451 - further aligns with plans on 040513 to develop requirements for
171452 - technology to support collaboration. ref SDS 12 YE9U
171454 -  ..
171455 - Today, a meeting was scheduled on 040611 for a Aerospace company engineer with
171456 - the ACE intranet group to visit and begin training Gary.
171457 -
171458 -      [On 040618 Gary's letter to Steve confirms progress, including
171459 -      results of meeting on 040611. ref SDS 16 M38T

331422 - A "2nd act" submitting a letter to the parties in the teleconference

331424 - steady exposure cited by Gary on 031211, ref SDS 6 PE5Y, and planned
331425 - for a 3-step strategy set in the annual review on 040402, ref SDS 7
331426 - 0001, and again developing plans on the "Future of SDS," requested by
331427 - Gary on 040229, ref SDS 9 OW6K, as a critical componenet of
331428 - transformation, from providing language associating what people care
331429 - about, based on what people are doing, day-to-day.  In this case,
331430 - citing timely follow up by Steve on planning, in the letter dated
331431 - 040402, that set intranet support as a major step required to apply
331432 - CFISR for managing the project using SDS, ref SDS 10 3O8U, implements
331433 - the ideas in Gary's letter on 040508 submitting research showing the
331434 - power of language to drive behavior that shapes culture. ref SDS 11
331435 - XH4O
331437 -  ..
331438 - At that time, on 040508 Gary noted the importance of language that
331439 - associates things people care about with SDS support for a culture of
331440 - knowledge that enables people to work intelligently for improving
331441 - productivity and earnings by saving time, money and lives. ref SDS 11

331450 -     [On 040610 Gary submits explanation of why a member of Aerospace company
331451 -     Architecture Committee opposed SDS, illustrating challenge to
331452 -     change culture, that can only be met with language that
331453 -     complements experience with SDS work product. ref SDS 15 XA5K
331455 -  ..
331456 - Intranet support will accomplish Steve's request on 031211 to make SDS
331457 - links active in organizational memory, so that everyone has instant
331458 - access to a common story on relevant background. ref SDS 6 5U6J  This
331459 - accomplishes Steve's request on 030822 for a "History" button that
331460 - enables accurate memory to guide daily work. ref SDS 5 NH5N
331462 -  ..
331463 - Accordingly, submitting via email the SDS record of the teleconference
331464 - that discusses "traceability to original sources," and which provides
331465 - a few links to relevant history, helps illustrate Steve's point on
331466 - 031211 that making links active on an intranet adds value to
331467 - organizational memory by strengthening command and control of mission
331468 - critical intelligence.
331470 -  ..
331471 - This is, also, a critical step in evaluating SDS for "intelligence"
331472 - support that provides organizational memory under POIMS to enable a
331473 - system of Communication Metrics, as set out in the agreement dated
331474 - 040317 for Aerospace company to evaluate SDS. ref OF 1 0001
331476 -  ..
331477 - The contract to evaluate SDS, gives adequate grounds to cite POIMS and
331478 - other foundational documents for associating SDS capabilities with
331479 - objecitves, requirements and commitments that arise on the job, since
331480 - that is the purpose of "evaluation."

331485 -     0001
331487 -  ..
331488 - Developing intranet support that applies CFISR capabilities by using
331489 - computers for Communication Metrics to work intelligently, improving
331490 - command and control, is a major effort, along the lines of getting an
331491 - initial orientation on SDS, and so the number of other meetings that
331492 - Gary supports will go down.  Once SDS is up and running on the ACE
331493 - intranet, then Com Metrics can be expanded to other M&S activity to
331494 - improve productivity, as called out in POIMS, ref OF 6 1X6G, and
331495 - supported by experience at USACE reported on 971007. ref DRP 5 0001
