0409 -
040901 - Want to discuss the points at ref SDS 14 line 73.
040902 -
040903 -      Actually, we did not discuss any of this material in depth.
040904 -
040905 - Initially, Cheryl said she has only read a portion of what was
040906 - submitted, and does not understand it very well.  She has not read
040907 - the paper on New Order needs Old Time Religion, ref OF 2 line 12.
040908 -
040909 - I asked Cheryl about her background in order to decide how to explain
040910 - SDS, POIMS and communication metrics in relation to her experience.
040911 -
040912 - Cheryl said she is educated in pshchology, has an MBA in internatinoal
040913 - management.  She has worked in project management in the pharmacutical
040914 - industry.
040915 -
040916 -      I explained how SDS relates to her psychology training from the
040917 -      standpoint of improving innate capacities.  I mentioned the NWO
040918 -      paper might be interesting in this respect, and in designing a
040919 -      study to measure improvement in the ability to think, remember
040920 -      and communicate.
040921 -
040922 -      I explained the relationship of communication metrics with her
040923 -      interest in modern project management, per ref SDS 14 line 79.
040924 -
040925 -
040926 - She feels the SDS record at ref SDS 11 line 52, probably required more
040927 - time writing it down than Ghopal spent giving the presentation.
040928 -
040929 -      She feels it is useful, but hard to sell to busy managers.
040930 -
040931 -      She likes the idea of a communication manager, but feels this an
040932 -      additional expense.  I explained the idea of the Pharaoh who used
040933 -      a scribe, per ref SDS 9 line 158, and farming at ref SDS 9 line
040934 -      116.
040935 -
040936 -
040937 - She has too much to do now.  She is doing two books:
040938 -
040939 -   •  Light and humerous book for general circulation.
040940 -
040941 -      This one seems to be underway.
040942 -
040943 -         I explained a few ideas she might consider of showing how
040944 -         communications get mixed up because of the number of times
040945 -         people relate what other people say.  Mentioned the problem of
040946 -         time being wasted in meetings arguing about what was said the
040947 -         last time.  Mentioned poor writing in EM that causes
040948 -         misunderstand- ings.
040949 -
040950 -
040951 -   •  PM for R&E or high tech.
040952 -
040953 -      This is a future project.

040955 -
040956 - Cheryl wants to see a demonstration.
040957 -
040958 - She would like to do it with Rosanne.  I told her I am trying to
040959 - schedule something for Rosanne the next few days.  We considered today
040960 - before or after the PMI meeting, but upon consideration decided to do
040961 - it tomorrow or Friday.
