201103 - Gary has identified tasks that can be performed with available time
201104 - and money. There are many frustrations growing markets for disruptive
201105 - technologies because transformation is slow and ponderous waiting for
201106 - the water to boil, while customers gain experience with SDS features.
201107 - ref SDS 0 AS4F Gary offers ideas for many new features, which would
201108 - be easier to learn in a Windows version that fits the mood of
201109 - customers. ref SDS 0 7156 A good early task is to upgrade the Help
201110 - system for SDS. Gary points out that even more important is using
201111 - sound business practices that direct efforts on generating revenues.
201112 - A source of tension comes from concern that giving everybody close
201113 - order support like Gary is getting for an extended period, will
201114 - severely limit market growth for SDS. Part of the solution is to
201115 - focus on giving people experience using intelligence, rather than
201116 - learning to create it. Thousands of people gain experience to change
201117 - their attitude with broad exposure to SDS work product on the
201118 - Internet, and secure company intranets. This means only a few have to
201119 - be trained on using SDS. Speeding up progress requires getting more

210453 - Since we cannot fire anyone, and don't have a war of sufficient scale
210454 - to accelerate change through urgent necessity, option 3 is the most
210455 - promising opportunity.
210457 - ..
210458 - Successful people often feel that any idea, which is not their idea is
210459 - a crummy idea, otherwise they would not be successful, and generally
210460 - are surrounded by people who shower praise to curry favor, leading to
210461 - the rule that power corrupts, etc.

210464 - These commonplace dynamics show that transforming "crummy ideas" into

210479 - On 950911 the Tofflers and Freedman note the tyranny of the status quo
210480 - (inertia of culture and bureaucracy) can be transcended through
210481 - continual learning, which associates language with opportunity for

210514 - NWO explains "reminders" are very powerful for getting things done

210516 - that better memory significantly augments intelligence. ref SDS 1

210527 - The cost to give people concentrated experience that reduces the time
210528 - for transformation can be reduced to fit available resources through
210529 - diciples, advocates and early adopters who acquire the skills and
210530 - opportunity to spread the word from within organizations, as in Gary's
210531 - case. Our aim is to grow a wider circle of advocates who can spread
210532 - the word through intranets and the Internet, with analysis linked to
210533 - foundational documents.
210535 - ..
210536 - Gary's research on 040508 found that leadership can increase the pace
210537 - of change by influencing culture through langauge. ref SDS 93 568F
210538 - Combining experience with language that associates good results with

210541 - and Senge, per above. ref SDS 0 P34K In follow up analysis on 040811
210542 - Gary notes command and control of language in SDS records helps people
210543 - learn better command and control of daily work, simply by repetitive
210544 - language with links to foundational documents that explain and
210545 - demonstrate the power of knowledge ref SDS A6 UG7O, through
210546 - "intelligence support," as defined in NWO. ref OF 10 LW5I This
210547 - planning fits the model of transformation through a 3-layer
210548 - architecture, also set out in NWO. ref OF 10 UG4J

210551 - We have summarized Gary's plans on changing culture through language
210552 - with links to foundational documents as "following up with a 2nd act,"
210553 - set in strategy by the annual review on 040102, ref SDS 78 VS6J, and
210554 - again on 040229 reviewing the future of SDS, ref SDS 85 OW7K, and
210555 - discussed previously on 020924. ref SDS 64 0001
210557 - ..
210558 - The current strategy is to maintain "relentless pressure" by being
210559 - persistant (see below. ref SDS 0 VV56) in widening exposure to SDS
210560 - work product for organizational memory, as follows...
210561 -
210562 - a. Expose SDS and educate with links to relevant project
210563 - history that helps people improve understanding and
210564 - peformance of their work; demonstrate this new way of
210565 - working by distributing records attached to email that
210566 - confirm understandings from meetings and calls, and provide
210567 - links to SDS foundational documents with explanations that
210568 - build an intellectual bridge for transformation between two
210569 - (2) worlds from information technology to a culture of
210570 - knowledge, which we have described as a "2nd act." Gary
210571 - has been doing more of this, illustrated by his letter on
210572 - 040820, despite the conflict with coporate culture that
210573 - resists feedback, explained in NWO. ref OF 11 2670

210583 - the work as early adopters working to become famous for
210584 - delivering the goods that help everybody work
210585 - intelligently.
210587 - ..
210588 - c. Distribute SDS records on Aerospace company's intranet so that a wider
210589 - group of people can experience the magic of "working
210590 - intelligently" that makes getting things done faster and
210591 - easier, illustrated by Gary's assignment to be the SME for
210592 - the ACE system on the project. This assignment positions

230407 - emerge in about 1985, we may be nearing the end of a 50 year cycle,

230413 - apex of the productivity S curve, reviewed recently on 040905,
230414 - ref SDS B4 QP9L, demand for a better solution may be significantly
230415 - reduce the time for transformation to SDS. Since using SDS is fun and

250476 - ..
250477 - One of Eric's references says...
250478 -
250479 - The ability to add relations will provide the kind of
250480 - "alignment" that Rod Welch talks about -- the ability to
250481 - thread document sections together so that, for example, a
250482 - section of a contract can be threaded back to the email
250483 - discussions that prompted it, making it easier to ensure that
250484 - the final contract accurately reflects the desired goals.
250486 - ..
250487 - Of course, Eric knows, upon reflection of the record, ref SDS 0 T679,
250488 - that SDS support for alignment is more than just "talk."
250490 - ..
250491 - In any case, Gary might try contacting Eric to see if he is ready to
250492 - invest time on something that works, to make it work better, or if he
250493 - knows of anyone who might be positioned to do this. Gary has
250494 - developed a lot of ideas for improvement to create the next version.

290448 -
290449 - a. Email is the most common task people perform and
290450 - generates negative productivity, for reasons
290451 - explained in POIMS, ref OF 4 CZ6K, and cited at
290452 - Intel on 950927. ref SDS 5 5849 Jack Park
290453 - discussed the problem on 010908, ref SDS 54 UV4H,
290454 - and Bill Gates explained a year later on 021108
290455 - that people are suffering because nobody can find
290456 - anything, ref SDS 65 EF5I; people feel "pain" using
290457 - information technologies. ref SDS 65 D18L This
290458 - presents a "need" for intelligence to turn "pain"
290459 - into "fun" using SDS to convert useless information
290460 - into the power of knowledge.
290462 - ..
290463 - b. Meetings are 2nd most common task people perform,
290464 - and cause negative productivity, see 020217,
290465 - ref SDS 60 1332, and 960205, ref SDS 6 5222; people
290466 - are too busy attending meetings to "understand"
290467 - what happened in order to follow up getting things
290468 - done, reported 040203. ref SDS 81 1W7F On 030527
290469 - Dave Held reported SDS records solve the problem by
290470 - showing what transpired in meetings that relate to
290471 - objectives, requirements and commitments, reported
290472 - 030527. ref SDS 70 0001 On 040203 Gary has become
290473 - famous for providing a good solution using SDS.
290474 - ref SDS 81 N03C
290476 - ..
290477 - Need for SDS is "hidden in plain sight," because
290478 - people work harder to attend more meetings and send
290479 - more email; so, they don't have time to study why
290480 - more information doe not improve productivity; this
290481 - prevents understanding how working smarter solves
290482 - the problem, rather than harder. When people gain
290483 - experience with SDS records, demand grows for more
290484 - support, without having to study and understand why
290485 - SDS works. Learning to understand why SDS is
290486 - needed exceeds the time available of busy people on
290487 - the job. Busy people go by what everybody is doing
290488 - at the time. Early adopters lead the way by
290489 - launching new trends.

300412 - result acquire demand for more support, do not control
300413 - purchasing. ref SDS A6 ZS93
300415 - ..
300416 - Experience shows that some people who become interested in SDS control
300417 - purchasing and others do not. Marketing should concentrate on the
300418 - former. More to the point, purchasing often entails numerous levels
300419 - of management. Educating people horizontally is important to build
300420 - demand, but working vertically up the chain of command is critical,
300421 - because executives who normally accede to wishes of responsible
300422 - managers have proven to overrule them when managers are unable to
300423 - explain why SDS works better than other methods.
300425 - ..
300426 - For example, the record on 961015 illustrates Gary's point. USACE's
300427 - chief litigation counsel reviewed SDS work product and advised the
300428 - Contracting Officer that SDS records should be developed for the
300429 - remainder of the project. ref SDS 8 3395 The Contracting Office has
300430 - responsibility to allocate resources for successful contract
300431 - management, and on 961206 exercised that authority with plans to
300432 - continue support by Com Metrics. ref SDS 9 0001 The DE rejected these
300433 - plans, reported on 970624. ref SDS 11 7388 The Contracting Officer
300434 - then quit. The Assistant Chief of Con Ops quit. The Depty Chief of
300435 - Operations quit, the lead counsel took early retirement, and another
300436 - lawyer quit. In addition to a bunch of folks quitting, on 981027
300437 - government paid $30M extra on Oakland, because DE failed to follow
300438 - advice of counsel, the Contracting Officer, Chief of CONOPS, Assistant
300439 - Chief CONOPS, Project Manager, the Resident Engineer, and Chief of
300440 - Construction. ref SDS 16 9152 On the other hand, any one of these
300441 - other individuals nominally had purchase approval. This record
300442 - suggests that "delivering the goods" to a broad base of people can
300443 - gain followers. When everybody does not get work product, as with the
300444 - DE, there is a break in the chain of authority for purchasing.
300445 - Accordingly, the remedy is to broaden the base of people getting
300446 - support. Gary is working on resolving this issue by placing SDS
300447 - records on an intranet where everyone will be exposed, and so everyone
300448 - will understand the value of intelligence.
300450 - ..
300451 - Gary demonstrated that people who want SDS as a result of experience
300452 - demonstrating benefits, reported on 040227, ref SDS 83 RH6K, can
300453 - influence purchasing, shown by his letter on 040402 to the M&S group
