111205 - Ron seems interested in this work.
111206 -
111207 - Scheduled follow up call to arrange for a meeting to demonstrate the
111208 - technology in late Sep.
111209 -
111210 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 including this record.

111601 - New World Order - Opportunities
111602 -
111603 - Ron seems to grasp the ideas in POIMS and NWO papers.  He appreciated
111604 - the use of "religion" to show the benefits of automating traceability
111605 - to original sources and continual learning by providing a continual
111606 - stream of "case studies" discussed in the NWO... paper, ref OF 2 line
111607 - 236.  We considered the core concept of Communication Metrics to
111608 - convert information into knowledge.  I explained my view that this is
111609 - more critical now and in the future within the meaning of the New
111610 - World Order explained at ref OF 2 line 264, ref OF 2 line 224 and also
111611 - ref OF 2 line 410.

111615 - Risk Management on Information Highway
111616 -
111617 - This is a higher risk environment because mistakes cannot be contained
111618 - and occur more frequently under the Information Highway.
111619 -
111620 -      [On 950909 article in Wired magazine on Reengineering and TQM,
111621 -      ref SDS 9 2248.]
111622 -
111623 - It therefore presents a significant business opportunity to provide
111624 - valuable tools and service that reduce the chance of error, as
111625 - explained in the NWO paper, ref OF 2 line 178, ref OF 2 line 442.

111630 - Information, Knowledge, Wisdom, Vision
111631 - Driving by Looking in the Review Mirror
111632 -
111633 - Ron raised the specter of "driving by looking in the rear view mirror"
111634 - to support less reliance on past pattern and practice.
111635 -
111636 - I mentioned this view has been advanced by others, see the record on
111637 - 921217. ref SDS 1 7344
111638 -
111639 -     We discussed the mind's bent to automatically look back in time in
111640 -     order to see what is ahead that cannot be seen by the eye, as
111641 -     explained on 921217. ref SDS 1 0702
111642 -
111643 -        [On 960321 Cognitive Science defines a mental process of
111644 -        inducation that relies on experience. ref SDS 10 1234]
111645 -
111646 -        [On 950830 traceability to original sources is a management
111647 -        process that supports the mental process of building meaning,
111648 -        knowledge, wisdom and vision. ref SDS 8 1883]
111649 -
111650 -     Ron pointed to the idea of "wisdom" which he distinguishes from
111651 -     data and knowledge.  Another way to frame it is seen from the
111652 -     record on 950419 showing the observation by Mr. Penny of the J.C.
111653 -     Penny Company, on the distinction between "eye sight" and
111654 -     "vision." ref SDS 2 5622
111655 -
111656 -     These considerations led to work at ref SDS 8 this evening to
111657 -     clarify the connection between a number of concepts.
111658 -
111659 -
111660 - Ron is not familiar with ISO criteria discussed in the NWO paper
111661 - (e.g., ref OF 2 line 205, ref OF 2 line 358), except that it is
111662 - becoming an international standard for business practices. We
111663 - considered the ramifications of growing awareness about the value of
111664 - traceability to original sources, and continual learning.
111665 -
111666 -     I noted how the NWO paper makes the case that these are corollary
111667 -     concepts, where each supports the other, and that SDS is the only
111668 -     practical way to implement them.
111669 -
111670 -     More and more companies are being told that to win orders they
111671 -     must make a showing that they meet ISO criteria.  SDS is the only
111672 -     way to accomplish traceability and continual learning (see review
111673 -     on 950721 of ISO 10006, ref SDS 3 1740).

200702 - Reengineering Management Practice
200703 -
200704 - Ron asked how Communication Metrics correlates with "reengineering"
200705 - business practices and processes?  I pointed out that Communication
200706 - Metrics is aimed at re-engineering the practice of executive
200707 - management.  The vision is automated management for the 21st century,
200708 - per the paper on POIMS, ref OF 1 line 2, and it takes three steps:
200709 -
200710 -         Management science................. Communication Metrics
200711 -         Information Technology............. POIMS
200712 -         Software........................... SDS
200713 -
200714 -
200715 - Ron's work seems to focus on decision support seemingly derived from
200716 - the realities of the day and implications for the future.  He feels
200717 - communication is an important part of improving management and by
200718 - extension productivity and earnings.  Some threads of the discussion
200719 - indicated perspectives that could be divergent.  I expect there is
200720 - more convergence, once we examine aims and methods more closely, per
200721 - ref SDS 2 line 190.

200727 - Ron has an interest in a management firm.  It is dealing with
200728 - organizational issues which he expects will be settled within a few
200729 - weeks.  Ron will be out of town for a week or so, then has a class at
200730 - Stanford to teach.  He asked me to call him in last week of Sep to
200731 - follow up.

200735 - He feels some of their business clients may find POIMS and
200736 - Communication Metrics interesting.  I mentioned the need to create
200737 - awareness and credibility in POIMS and Communication Metrics through a
200738 - book, academic testing of the theory that SDS can leverage the
200739 - capacity to think, remember and communicate.  Ron feels this is a
200740 - major opportunity.
200741 -
200742 - The first step is for Ron to see the technology.
