260708 - ..
260709 - Contacts are important to SDS because human biology has a natural
260710 - drive to remember people and groups. Family, friends, and community
260711 - groups in all shapes and sizes provide safety, sustanence, and
260712 - stimulas. Contact software supports traditional address book
260713 - functions for looking up names, addresses, telephone numbers,

260724 - other programs by adding connections and organization for

441007 - Woody got the idea that the scope for "intelligence support" in NWO,

441009 - set out by the "Federal Acquisition Regulations" - FAR, reviewed on

441024 - that an "audit trail" improves accuracy and access in accounting,
441025 - links and alignment in SDS improve accuracy and access to critical
441026 - details in organizational memory by an order of magnitude that makes
441027 - communication and analysis effective. Mistakes occur constantly due
441028 - to meaning drift in communication (e.g., meetings, calls, email) that
441029 - cause loss, conflict, and crisis, which are easily caught and avoided
441030 - by SDS, under the practice of "thinking through writing," set out in
441031 - POIMS. ref OF 7 3742
441033 - ..
441034 - The difference between "documentation" and "intelligence" defined in
441035 - NWO, ref OF 12 A56M, is the difference between bureaucracy that
441036 - stifles getting things done with paperwork to avoid accountability,
441037 - and proactive management that drives productivity with accurate
441038 - understanding of relevant history. "Documentation" is commonly a CYA
441039 - effort to avoid accountability, done days, weeks and months after the
441040 - fact. SDS is used proactively to discover correlations, implications
441041 - and nuance in time to save lives, time and money by resolving issues
441042 - before mistakes occur, and seizing opportunity in time to be
441043 - effective.
441045 - ..
441046 - Woody cited a few examples of people calling and asking a Component
441047 - Manager (discussed further below, ref SDS 0 TY6P) for software to
441048 - facilitate a meeting, schedule a project, prepare technical documents
441049 - for plans and specifications, and so would be referred to say,

441057 - Woody asked what requirements people would ask to accomplish with SDS?
441058 -
441059 - What will people ask to support that leads to a referral on using SDS?
441061 - ..
441062 - Accuracy, getting things done on time and within budget, root cause
441063 - analysis, research, documentation, diary, journal, and planning are
441064 - all common tasks people perform regularly and poorly using popular
441065 - information technologies (IT) and practices.
441067 - ..
441068 - Woody said nobody ever calls his computer support department asking
441069 - for software to improve accuracy nor to support "intelligence,"
441070 - because everybody is supposed to work hard making sure they are
441071 - accurate, and working "intelligently." This aligns with research on
441072 - 000307 that found knowledge management is a lot of hard work.
441073 - ref SDS 12 767G Later, on 020217 Gary worried that people don't care
441074 - about SDS support for working intelligently, because they don't work
441075 - harder using the tools readily available. ref SDS 17 425M
441076 -
441077 - [On 041013 Woody's feedback to Gary on ASB review cites SDS
441078 - support for accuracy, working intelligently, and organizational

441095 - mistakes by keeping a diary of daily work. ref SDS 2 8447 People
441096 - seeking a better diary system, might therefore get a referral to SDS.
441097 -
441098 - [On 041110 Gary worried that SDS has new capabilities for
441099 - intelligence support for which requirements have not yet been
441100 - developed in the market place. ref SDS 44 FO3H
441102 - ..
441103 - [On 041118 telecon Woody, Gary, Gil discussed SDS features that
441104 - are not common requirements in industry; Gil feels company should
441105 - be proactive making people aware of features for saving time and
441106 - money. ref SDS 45 KU85
441108 - ..
441109 - The ASB currently has a list of key words people might ask about that
441110 - lead to a referral to SDS, reported on 040720. ref SDS 26 125F
441112 - ..
441113 - At this point in history, the opportunity is so vast that people feel
441114 - "funny" making an "alien" request to augment intelligence that gets
441115 - things done, shown by the list of use cases cited in the ASB, and
441116 - referencing the list on 020708. ref SDS 19 MZ6O See for example,
441117 - experience at Intel reported on 990713. ref SDS 11 2150
441119 - ..
441120 - Since there is no tradition for "intelligence" in business, few people
441121 - have experience that leads to requests for this support, as set out in
441122 - NWO. ref OF 10 4099 The business case in the ASB explains the
441123 - opportunity for better productivity through better command and control
441124 - of the work with organizational memory....
441125 -
441126 - http://asc1.web.boeing.com/index.cfm?page=view_asb&asb=1547#DM58
441128 - ..
441129 - Accordingly, the general plan at Aerospace company is to look for
441130 - opportunities to distribute SDS work product applied to common daily
441131 - tasks, like the call today, and the hearing on 040921. ref SDS 28 XQ9F
441132 - This requires putting SDS records (like this one) on the Aerospace
441133 - company intranet. When people get records of organizational memory
441134 - that help do their work, these self-evident benefits cause people to
441135 - ask for more "intelligence support." That has been the experience at
441136 - DNRC, PG&E, DOD, and now at Aerospace company. Until people gain
441137 - experience using "intelligence" to get things done, there is little
441138 - likelihood anyone will ask for SDS, because there are no requirements
441139 - for tasks SDS does, except to avoid mistakes caused by ambiguity in
441140 - the mind, noted by Andy Grove at Intel, reviewed on 980307.

441147 - ..
441148 - Woody indicated this can be redressed with professional events. He
441149 - gave the example of people coming back from a weekend seminar and
441150 - calling the ASB people for software that implements what they learned
441151 - at the event. This raises the possibility of adding to Aerospace company

490433 - Woody indicated the AIC strategy supports "pilot testing" limited to a
490434 - project where initial use seems promising. He noted many people may
490435 - recognize a difficult problem, e.g....
490436 -
490437 - useless information................... 040610, ref SDS 25 FF8V
490438 - no time to think...................... 970910, ref SDS 5 3479

490440 - poor listening........................ 890809, ref SDS 1 CJ9J

490442 - ...but that does not mean they have an effective solution. An example
490443 - is Intel calling on 910418 for computers to improve productivity by
490444 - integrating common management tasks, however, 5 years later on 950927,
490445 - Intel gave up because the problem is difficult to solve. ref SDS 4
490446 - 7732 Therefore, before making general distribution, Aerospace company should
490447 - gain more experience using SDS.

520508 - Woody commented that a lot of smart people can reverse engineer
520509 - technology, and so lead time in the market place is only a few months,
520510 - once a critical mass of visibility occurs with a growing customer
520511 - base. This follows up review of trade secret issues recenlty on

520515 - Review on 980722 by an expert famous for reengineering, cited in
520516 - George Gilder's book, Microcosm, found that SDS is hard to reverse
520517 - engineer. ref SDS 9 3744 On 010924 Morris commented that nobody has
520518 - experience doing SDS tasks for capturing and managing organizational
520519 - memory, so nobody understands how to create SDS. ref SDS 15 XT5F
520520 - Woody feels that once people associate understanding SDS with getting
520521 - more money, smart people working on other things, will turn their
520522 - attention to figuring out the SDS design.

540411 - and Gary are currently trying to get support for SDS on the project
540412 - ACE system. Woody noted that Aerospace company has another version of ACE for
540413 - general use by the company. Woody feels Sharepoint is on a path, like
540414 - Lotus Notes, for improving productivity with further development. On

540429 - Woody noted that SDS support for granular addressability gives people
540430 - command and control of the work at a lower level of detail than other
540431 - systems, which work at the document level. This aligns with comments

620408 - scope of the problem they have, and then facilitates acquisition from

620411 - ..
620412 - This leads to training people to use SDS, which is essential, but may
620413 - be premature at this time. We do not want to prevent Aerospace company from
620414 - gaining enough experience to evaluate savings, because of resistance
620415 - to initial cost getting someone up to speed. Many years of experience
620416 - has shown that asking for volunteers before there is solid validation
620417 - of benefits, tends to get people who expect to learn SDS in 20
620418 - minutes, and then get discouraged and report SDS is not effective,
620419 - because it takes a lot longer than 20 minutes to retool skills for
620420 - saving time and money.
620422 - ..
620423 - SDS is not a solution people can try out for 20 minutes.
620425 - ..
620426 - The "try out" or "pilot test" has to be provided by skilled
620427 - professionals over an expanse of time that enables people to gain
620428 - experience that demonstrates self-evident benefits of intelligence.
620429 - When that occurs, everybody wants more support, and many will do
620430 - whatever it takes to learn SDS, because saving time and money working
620431 - intelligently is a lot more fun, fast and easy than using existing
620432 - methods.
620434 - ..
620435 - Conceivably during the initial pilot test period, Gil Caughman can
620436 - field questions with the help of Gary and Rod, while Aerospace company gains
620437 - enough experience using SDS to decide on whether to continue, or to
620438 - stand down.
620440 - ..
620441 - The best solution would be to train a few "test pilots" to learn SDS
620442 - in order to expand the pool of support personnel. At this time,
620443 - however, more validation may be needed prior to that step.
