131001 - Follow up ref SDS 19 0000, ref SDS 18 0000.
131002 -
131003 - Finalized edits on POIMS paper, ref OF 1 0000, and coordinated with

131005 - I will demonstrate SDS at the conference.
131006 -
131007 - Seem to have improved the appearance of the document per work on
131008 - 940620, ref SDS 20 SO4N, however, there are other problems with
131009 - Wordperfect which prevented submitting it today, per ref SDS 21 8456.
131010 - Therefore the transmittal, ref DIT 1 0001, was not mailed until

131401 - Murphy's Law Cause and Solution
131402 -
131403 - This morning I decided to incorporate "Murphy's Law" into the opening
131404 - paragraph, ref OF 1 1054, since that is a bridge phrase for conferees,
131405 - as discussed with Brian yesterday at ref SDS 19 8945, based on ideas
131406 - from Asilomar Conference on 940612. ref SDS 17 5882
131407 -
131408 - Other references to Murphy are at...
131409 -
131410 -     ref OF 1 0181,
131411 -     ref OF 1 0184,
131412 -     ref OF 1 0187
131413 -
131414 - ..
131415 - The additional line in this introductory paragraph actually
131416 - balanced the first page, because there were two blank lines at the
131417 - bottom of the 2nd column.
131418 -
131419 -
131420 -       ..
131421 -      Thinking Through Writing
131422 -      Correcting Corrections = Murphy's Law
131423 -
131424 -      Many of the ideas in the paper seem to have gotten started in
131425 -      discussions with Morris and Ross, per ref SDS 2 0005
131426 -
131427 -
131428 - ..
131429 - I removed the change made yesterday at Brian Boone's request
131430 - ref SDS 20 0001 of mentioning a "presentation" of SDS, because the
131431 - paper should stand on its own.  The synopsis of the paper can explain
131432 - we will demonstrate SDS.
131433 - ..
131434 - Had a lot more work today finalizing the format, because of
131435 - differences between Wordperfect 5.1 and 6.0a, see ref SDS 21 line 53
131436 - for details.
131437 -
131438 - Under "Objections" want to use a different buzword from TQM to
131439 - identify POIMS, because TQM is not well thought of.  It needs to be
131440 - something that took a long time to become accepted, and is now well
131441 - accepted.
131442 -
131443 - CPM is a good one that fits this criteria.
131444 -
131445 - Cost Control is another, but it is not clear it was controversial.  We
131446 - need something that was known to be a struggle to gain acceptance.
131447 -
131448 -    Think I will leave TQM.  I probably put it in because Deming was
131449 -    unsuccessful outside of the US for a long time, until the Japanese
131450 -    began getting a large part of the US market in key industries.

Synopsis

1608 -   ..
160801 - Finalized the edits and mailed paper.  Coordinated with Brian
160802 - and Lesley to accomplish Brian's recommendation to mention in the
160803 - synopsis that I will demonstrate SDS.
160804 -
160805 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Lesley indicating revised synopsis
160806 - langauge.  Submitted final paper via ref DIT 2 0001
160807 -
160808 -

160810 -
1609 -
1610 -
1611 - 1153 called Lesley
1612 -
161201 - Left message on her voice mail to call back on following questions.
161202 -
161203 - ..
161204 - Can the synopsis developed on 960408, ref SDS 9 3440, submitted
161205 - on 960421, ref SDS 11 0000, be modified to state I will demonstrate
161206 - the SDS program, as Brien requests? ref SDS 19 8955
161207 -
161208 -     I submitted the original synopsis at ref SDS 11 0000, as stated in
161209 -     the letter. ref DIP 2 0003  Per Brian's request, can we modify it
161210 -     to say:
161211 -
161212 -        Synopsis Option 1
161213 -
161214 -        Automated integration of key management practices solves the
161215 -        gridlock on the Information Highway that leads to Murphy's Law!
161216 -        The author will demonstrate a Schedule Diary System (SDS) that
161217 -        applies new concepts of time management, inte- grated with TQM
161218 -        and MBO principals, that improve productivety of the world's
161219 -        most advanced knowledge worker: today's Project Manager.
161220 -
161221 -         ..
161222 -        Option 2
161223 -
161224 -        Managers create wealth by investing in people to Plan,
161225 -        Organize, Integrate & Measure (POIMS) work performance. The
161226 -        author will demonstrate a Schedule Diary System (SDS) to
161227 -        implement POIMS technology that solves Murphy's Law of unavoid-
161228 -        able mistakes. An efficient management cycle converts
161229 -        information into knowledge, and integrates TQM and MBO
161230 -        principals with time, so the speed and accuracy of automation
161231 -        can fulfill the promise: time is money, knowledge is power!
161232 -        Automated Integration is the new management lever for the 21st
161233 -        century.
161234 -
161235 -
161236 -  ..
1613 -
1614 -
1615 - 1306 called Brien Boone
1616 -
161601 - I advised that changes he requested in our discussion yesterday, see
161602 - ref SDS 19 8945, were tried and then changed it back today for the
161603 - reasons stated above. ref SDS 0 3471
161604 -
161605 - Brien said he likes both explanations in the proposed revised synopses
161606 - (set out above ref SDS 0 0386), and that they meet his objective at
161607 - ref SDS 19 8955.
161608 -
161609 - He is unsure if the synopsis is to be distributed to conferees.  I
161610 - read the explanation in PMI's information documentation at ref DRP 1
161611 - 9546.  Brian said he will call Lesley to confirm the synopsis will be
161612 - used to explain the presentation to conferees.  He will call me back
161613 - today.
161614 -
161615 -
161616 -
1617 -
1618 -
1619 - 1408 Lesley called back
1620 -   ..
162001 - She has talked to Brian Boone.
162002 -
162003 -     Lesley said she is preparing the synopses today, so it is not too
162004 -     late to make these changes.  I will fax them to her in about 30
162005 -     minutes.
162006 -
162007 -     She confirmed that the synopsis will be used for publicity to
162008 -     enable attendees to select presentations to attend.
162009 -
162010 -     Lesley said the font should be the same for everything.

261601 - Let's use the example of McClellan AFB staff trying to write software
261602 - to improve management productivity by video taping the commanding
261603 - general at his desk and working in his office, see  ref SDS 3 0000
261604 - line 94.

261606 -  ..
261607 -
261608 - Everyone says "Knowledge is power," but what is "knowledge"? --- see
261609 - NWO, ref OF 2 8945.
261610 -
261611 -       Demonstrate relationship to other information, documents,
261612 -       people, subjects/objectives.
261613 -
261614 -       Traceability to original sources, alignment and linking,
261615 -
261616 -           [On 950721 ISO management standards call for traceability to
261617 -           original sources. ref SDS 25 1740
261618 -
261619 -       This is idea of Hansel & Gretal -- need path to get back to
261620 -       original sources, objectives.
261621 - ..
261622 - I developed POIMS because a subcontractor once told me, "Rod,
261623 - you have a good memory, but it is short."
261624 -
261625 - Use the work In Scientific American, on Blind Spots, to illustrate how
261626 - the mind fills in for missing information, per ref SDS 15 0020, and
261627 - tie to paper on NWO, ref OF 2 line 169.  The human mind fills in
261628 - missing pieces when we are in a hurry the same way it fills in a
261629 - visual blind spot, so people can function.
261630 - ..
261631 - SDS uses text to support analysis and build understanding, per
261632 - 940609. ref SDS 16 4933
261633 -
261634 -     Murphy's Law
261635 -
261636 -     Text is an intellectual construct that spawns greater mental
261637 -     agility than viewing pictures and graphs.  The SDS textual
261638 -     environment enables users to discover what they are unaware they
261639 -     know and to integrate it better.  Pictures create an immediate
261640 -     impression that cause management to overlook critical considera-
261641 -     tions --- this is the path to Murphy's Law!
261642 -
261643 -     [See also discussion at ref SDS 17 5882.]
261644 -
261645 - ..
261646 - Mention Clinton administration as example of too much
261647 - information in short a time frame means more mistakes, the cycle of
261648 - correcting corrections commonly called "rework." ref OF 1 5582.
261649 -
261650 - Explain Henry Kissenger's idea of pictures leading to actions for
261651 - which there is no objective, discussed at ref SDS 16 4238.
261652 -
261653 - Use IBM survey re Information Highway, ref SDS 23 2833.
261654 -

261656 -     Today we are going to talk about...
261657 -
261658 -          Paradigm Shifts
261659 -
261660 -             Cooperate instead of steal,
261661 -
261662 -                Win win, instead of win loose.
261663 -
261664 -              ..
261665 -             Invest instead of consume
261666 -
261667 -                Planting, putting things into the ground, instead of
261668 -                just taking from the earth, see for example ref SDS 3
261669 -                line 62.
261670 -
261671 -                Yields a higher deferred reward.
261672 -
261673 -             Write to figure out and create understanding rather than
261674 -             to tell others what we understand.
261675 -
261676 -             Confusion is the source of creativity
261677 -
261678 -                If you are not confused, your not paying attention.

261695 -
261696 -                They put stuff in the ground, in order to get more
261697 -                stuff out of the ground.
261698 -
261699 -                They manage (cultivate, protect, water, nurture) the
261700 -                stuff in the ground while it flowers into something
261701 -                beautiful and valuable.
