1507 - Summary/Objective
1508 -
150801 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0000, ref SDS 6 0000.
150802 -
150803 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Gary with a copy to Gil commenting on
150804 - pending issues from Woody's letter received yesterday, and saying....
150805 -
150806 -    1.  Woody's letter, ref DRP 1 0001, was received, ref DIT 1 0001,
150807 -        late yesterday afternoon. ref SDS 7 046I
150809 -         ..
150810 -    2.  Review indicates SDS has not been approved for limited
150811 -        distribution, ref DIT 1 3Y5N, but has been referred to another
150812 -        group (EEPC KM SubCouncil) for determination of a company wide
150813 -        standard. ref SDS 7 0001
150815 -         ..
150816 -    3.  Note the referring authority, Dave Clark, ref DIT 1 I26N, has a
150817 -        lot of experience at Boeing on transformation issues.
150818 -        [...reported in analysis on 041101] ref SDS 7 GY5Q
150820 -         ..
150821 -    4.  This latest action, ref DIT 1 V27K, raises interesting
150822 -        questions. ref SDS 7 CC45
150824 -         ..
150825 -    5.  The record is not clear on whether this is a good faith
150826 -        referral that deserves further time and effort by everyone,
150827 -        particularly with "KM" in the title. ref DIT 1 438F  If time is
150828 -        available, it might be worth a try for Gil to call Woody (***
150829 -        *** ****) about customary practice for ASB sponsors to support
150830 -        a referral, since Woody related a preference on 041023 to work
150831 -        with Gil. ref SDS 5 0001
150832 -
150833 -            [On 041103 recommended again requesting clarification of
150834 -            any next steps for SDS to develop a standard on
150835 -            organizational memory that enables intelligence support.

150838 -         ..
150839 -    6.  In any case, thanks to you and Gil for pushing SDS the past
150840 -        number of months. ref DIT 1 G38N

441702 - SDS Support for GUI Expectations KM Easier to Learn and Use
441703 -
441704 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gil with a copy to Gary answering the
441705 - letter this morning, ref DIT 1 0001, per above, ref SDS 0 UQ6X, and
441706 - saying...
441707 -
441708 -    1.  How I was reading this was that they were allowing it for use
441709 -        on the FCS program and then were continuing to consider it for
441710 -        company wide use as a standard. I would guess though if you
441711 -        were to say that an OA is going to be the primary user, then
441712 -        there would be fitness for use concerns. I think there would be
441713 -        an expectation for ease of use which would kinda dictate more
441714 -        use of GUI and windows application. ref DRT 1 0001
441716 -  ..
441717 - Market and customer expectations for GUI were reviewed by Tom
441718 - Landauer, reported on 950710. ref SDS 1 1109
441720 -  ..
441721 - Comments on the role for using SDS follows up work on 041020 when Gary
441722 - wrote to Gil, ref SDS 4 0001, which implements Woody's suggestion to
441723 - review this issue for deployment. ref SDS 2 TX4H
441725 -  ..
441726 - Gil's ideas about an Office Assistant or Operations Assistant as the
441727 - primary target for using SDS needs consideration about objectives for
441728 - "intelligence support" and requirements for context management that
441729 - develops and applies the organic structure of knowledge.  Analysis on
441730 - 041013 lists OA among several existing positions where SDS might be
441731 - effective. ref SDS 2 WV5J
441733 -  ..
441734 - On 041015 Gary interviewed Nancy about her work as an OA.  Nancy's
441735 - background shows a good fit with objectives for a new work role to
441736 - provide "intelligence support." ref SDS 3 TM4I  The duties of an OA
441737 - seem less well aligned for "intelligence" work, including demands for
441738 - context management. ref SDS 3 OL5X

442102 - referral to EEPC KM....
442103 -
442104 -    1.  I see your point Gil.  Not sure about OA as primary user, but
442105 -        making things easier is essential.  Is this what CAC has in
442106 -        mind with referral to EEPC KM?
442108 -         ..
442109 -    2.  Glad you guys are talking about this.
442110 -
442111 -           [On 041103 Gil feels CAC action unclear; asks about
442112 -           correlation between collaboration and Knowledge Management.

442115 -           [On 041103 letter to Gil explains SDS support for Knowledge
442116 -           Management and for collaboration, and further explains how
442117 -           these terms are used by some people interchangeably, similar
442118 -           to information and knowledge management. ref SDS 8 OD7L
