331201 - Follow up ref SDS 22 0000, ref SDS 16 RH34.
331202 -
331203 - Gary's schedule has changed.  He will not have time to work on the ASB
331204 - filing.  Gary gave some suggestions for getting this done. ref SDS 0
331205 - R68K  He, also, found information on the Internet where John Maloney
331206 - discusses how experience with technology drives synergy between theory
331207 - and improvements to tools. ref SDS 0 NF5J  Difficulty getting people
331208 - to contribute on explaining SDS aligns with lack of experience using
331209 - SDS that makes understanding a theory of knowledge for advancing
331210 - beyond information technology very difficult. ref SDS 0 NF76  Gary
331211 - submitted a letter that shows growing interest in using weblogs, which
331212 - grows demand for SDS support, ref SDS 0 KY9N, because granular
331213 - addressability and explicit links provide a natural target for linking
331214 - that adds value to weblogs. ref SDS 0 ZS7U  This makes weblogs a
331215 - strong enabling force for advancing to a culture of knowledge.
331216 - ref SDS 0 ZS4W  Submitted a letter to Gary that requests comment on
331217 - the new outline for the scope of "Intelligence" proposed to use in the
331218 - ASB filing. ref SDS 0 ZS5R

331601 - ASB Filing 2nd Draft Not Enough Time Due to Busy Work Schedule
331602 -
331603 - Follow up ref SDS 15 ER4M.
331604 -
331605 - Gary advised that his work to develop data loads for CFISR support on
331606 - the ACE network leaves not enough time time to work on the ASB filing
331607 - for SDS, reflecting Gary's research on 011210, ref SDS 6 R66K, and
331608 - previous analysis on 010924. ref SDS 5 UQ3J  The problem of limited
331609 - time limiting transformation was cited by Dave Snowden at IBM on
331610 - 020920. ref SDS 10 UN6H
331612 -  ..
331613 - This changes planning on 040709 for Gary to take the lead summarizing
331614 - the 1st draft into a 2nd draft that makes a more concise initial
331615 - presentation for an ASB filing. ref SDS 16 RH34  Previously, on 040615
331616 - we changed the plan, and decided to provide intelligence support on
331617 - preparing the 1st draft. ref SDS 15 ER4M
331619 -  ..
331620 - Gary made good suggestions on incorporating definitions into the ASB
331621 - and using lists to help people quickly grasp new capabilities and
331622 - enabled by SDS.  Gary's record on 040720 lists definitions he has
331623 - developed that relate to SDS. ref SDS 19 0001
331624 -
331625 -    Review of Gary's record on 040720 shows lists and sublists for SDS
331626 -    terminology have been expanded, reflecting planning in the
331627 -    discussion on 040722, when the lists were initially reviewed.
331628 -    ref SDS 22 7Y4G  This work has been incorporated into a listing
331629 -    developed in the record on 040720 that was then incorporated into
331630 -    NWO to define the scope for "intelligence" support, ref OF 1 LW5I,
331631 -    which was then cited in the Scope field for the ASB filing.
331632 -    ref SDS 20 YZ4O
331634 -     ..
331635 -    Gary added a definition of "knowledge," in his record on 040720,
331636 -    ref SDS 19 I86L, that applies research in the record on 040402
331637 -    which shows the difficulty people having developing a definition
331638 -    that is meaningfully distinguished from "information," ref SDS 14
331639 -    JJ9G, and which further aligns with prior work on 020608.
331640 -    ref SDS 9 JA4L
331642 -  ..
331643 - Submitted an email to Gary asking for comment on the outline for the
331644 - scope section, per below. ref SDS 0 ZS5R
331645 -
331646 -            [On 040804 letter to Gary asks for comment on this outline

471506 - Follow up ref SDS 5 NK4J.
471507 -
471508 - Gary, also, cited a methodology for developing knowledge management
471509 - that is applied and/or explained on the Internet at a location
471510 - recently cited by John Maloney in one of several letters John
471511 - submitted this past June.  Evidently, John's website relates the
471512 - process reported on 000723 that was used for initial SDS development
471513 - in 1983 to first support traditional management theory and practice
471514 - with technology. ref SDS 3 0001  Experience over many years applying
471515 - SDS, beginning in 1985, yielded a coherent theory of knowledge, noted
471516 - by Professor Ransdell on 000716, ref SDS 2 7838, which has guided
471517 - improvements that exceed performance of traditional technology and
471518 - practices, while enabling continuing refinement of theory, as further
471519 - set out in the record on the history of SDS. ref SDS 3 0008
471521 -  ..
471522 - Synergy between experience using SDS and improvement to SDS tools,
471523 - theory and practice was noticed by Morris on 010924. ref SDS 5 NK4J
471524 - Analysis of difficulties people encounter following a path similar to
471525 - SDS development are further related in the same record. ref SDS 5 JS6G
471527 -  ..
471528 - One the biggest obstacles noted on 010924 to advancing tools beyond
471529 - information technology is allocating time for thinking and formalizing
471530 - a practical theory based on actual experience, ref SDS 5 JS6G, as Gary
471531 - relates today. ref SDS 0 0001
471533 -  ..
471534 - On 040713 we asked Cliff and Pat to help develop an explanation of a
471535 - "standard" for SDS, based on the 1st draft. ref SDS 17 0001  The same
471536 - day Bruce was also asked to help out. ref SDS 17 IM4H  The following
471537 - day, on 040714 Morris was called he offered to contribute. ref SDS 18
471538 - 0001  In a call to Pat on 040721, he planneed to respond to Gary's
471539 - letter requesting support. ref SDS 21 SB4K
471541 -  ..
471542 - Todate, nobody has responded.  This presents a case study showing a
471543 - lesson learned that supports the report on 000307 that advancing from
471544 - information to a culture of knowledge is a lot of hard work.

650906 -
650907 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary dated yesterday on 040801 and
650908 - submitting research that cites 3,000,000 people using weblogs.
650909 - ref DRT 1 LS5M
650911 -  ..
650912 - Gary says weblogs may be an emerging alterate for email. ref DRT 1
650913 - 007L  This fits the model of SDS support for webmail, and further
650914 - addresses Gary's letter on 040229 asking about growing demand for SDS
650915 - support. ref SDS 13 JB63  On 020301 Mike Poremba explained how SDS
650916 - adds value to use of weblogs. ref SDS 7 UU6L
650918 -  ..
650919 - Weblogs comprise a large pool of people using the Internet for aspects
650920 - of organizational memory.  Some might fit the mold for early adopters
650921 - to use SDS.  On line chatting in weblogs are a means to advertise by
650922 - showing the product, explaining concepts and exploring transformation.
650923 -
650924 -          [On 040927 marketing review future of SDS weblogs listed as
650925 -          low cost advertising to recruit early adopters, and for
650926 -          testing concept of online intelligence. ref SDS 24 HJ6J
650928 -  ..
650929 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 responding to Gary's letter, and saying...
650930 -
650931 -    1.  Good research in your letter this morning, shown below, on the
650932 -        growing use of weblogs.  A number of people have written about
650933 -        SDS support for webmail, called "blogs" and "klogs" or more
650934 -        generally "weblogs." ref DIT 1 0001  On 040221 Jack Park wrote
650935 -        a letter asking about using SDS records to support his work
650936 -        using "blogs." ref SDS 12 RZ4O
650938 -         ..
650939 -    2.  At that time, Jack asked about your experience using SDS at
650940 -        Aerospace company, so he could "blog it." ref DIT 1 936K  Your experience
650941 -        is listed in the record on 040221, ref SDS 12 PU5H, including
650942 -        review of SDS at Aerospace company in your record on 030413. ref SDS 11
650943 -        0001
650945 -         ..
650946 -    3.  In addition, granular addressability and explicit links in SDS
650947 -        records enable people to analyze POIMS, NWO, TDS and other
650948 -        foundational documents, along with a continuing stream of
650949 -        history that reflects knowledge from experience on a wide range
650950 -        of issues, including SDS. ref DIT 1 K57L  In sum, SDS is a
650951 -        "bloggers" dream. An example familiar to Jack is the OHS/DKR
650952 -        work, listed in the record on 001017. ref SDS 4 1575
650954 -         ..
650955 -    4.  The real story on weblog and similar methods is the failure to
650956 -        create a connected record that empowers command and control of
650957 -        the work. ref DIT 1 K58N  While blogs help people contribute to
650958 -        organizational memory, the record of daily work only becomes a
650959 -        strategic asset when "intelligence" support enables people to
650960 -        convert information into the power of knowledge, as set out in
650961 -        the record on 010924. ref SDS 5 L46F
650963 -         ..
650964 -    5.  Without "intelligence," the ability to accumulate endless
650965 -        information becomes useless paperwork that grows fear of
650966 -        accountability, because the record is only used by lawyers to
650967 -        discover liabilities when a lawsuit is filed, rather than
650968 -        discover opportunities in time to take effective action that
650969 -        avoids mistakes. ref DIT 1 K54F
650971 -         ..
650972 -    6.  Weblogs provide an excellent environment for spreading the word
650973 -        on SDS, as reported on 020301, ref SDS 7 UU6L, but lack of
650974 -        experience using explicit links has hampered progress by Jack
650975 -        and others so far. ref DIT 1 KH4N

890708 -    8.  There is an update on the web in dir \09 for my SDS records.
