1112 - Summary/Objective
1113 -
111301 - Followed up work at ref SDS 20 line 60.
111302 -
111303 -    This week will be critcial on this point.
111304 -
111305 -    We need to try to spend more time on training, so Bill can continue
111306 -    benefitting from the SDS record that has been created so far.
111307 -
111308 -    This afternoon, I put the SDS stuff on the network so Bill can
111309 -    review.
111310 -
111311 - Bill signed the CO, and submitted to Chris.  He said this will satisfy
111312 - the notice I received from PG&E transmitting the CO, for me to return
111313 - it to PG&E.  He said the contract amount of $16,500 can cover both
111314 - expenses and time.

1116 - 1200 Lunch with Bill and Mike
1117 -
111701 - We discussed SDS at lunch with Mike Emery.
111702 -
111703 - Mike has taked to Chris and understands he may get some of Bill's
111704 - projects, if Bill accepts VR.
111705 -
111706 - Bill plans to at least sign up, since he will then have until near the
111707 - end of November to change his mind.
111708 -
111709 -     [On 941024 Mike assigned PM on CDWR. ref SDS 24 KX4M
111710 - ..
111711 - Mike asked about progress using SDS following our discussions
111712 - on 940824. ref SDS 2 0001
111713 -
111714 - Bill said SDS has been a big help on the CDWR project because of the
111715 - complexity of the work (e.g., permitting, EIR stuff, integrating CDWR
111716 - schedule objectives) and the large number of people and organizations
111717 - in PG&E and at CDWR who are involved in the project.  Prior to SDS, a
111718 - lot of understandings in meetings, email and phone calls were being
111719 - overlooked and/or being applied without consideration for correlations
111720 - and implications of related factors like contract provisions, prior
111721 - commitments in correspondence.  SDS builds uniform understandings so
111722 - people are working together and getting things done on time.
111723 -
111724 -     [On 941004 Bill issued a memo to PG&E management reporting
111725 -     favorable results with SDS. ref SDS 21 4920
111726 -
111727 -     [On 941231 Bill reported favorable results again to PG&E
111728 -     management on using SDS. ref SDS 26 2819]
111729 -
111730 - Bill advised that that CDWR likes results of SDS (see for example on
111731 - 940901, ref SDS 3 4920)
111732 -
111733 -     [On 941005 CDWR reported favorable results with SDS. ref SDS 22
111734 -     1569
111735 -
111736 -     [On 941010 SDS extended by PG&E to 941231. ref SDS 23 0001
111737 -
111738 -     [On 941130 PG&E plans to extend SDS to July 1995.
111739 -
111740 -     [On 941208 CDWR requests SDS be continued. ref SDS 25 1183
111741 -
111742 - The discussion at lunch indicated that on previous downsizing efforts,
111743 - there was a company wide effect of slowing the level of business
111744 - activity as various people are focusing on future plans.  This creates
111745 - a need for continued management support.
111746 -
111747 - Bill wants me to attend the Oct 5 progress meeting with CDWR. He wants
111748 - to see the status of the account and discuss future work tomorrow, so
111749 - we can figure out something sensible on the budget.
