2614 - Summary/Objective
2615 -
261501 - Follow up ref SDS 12 0000, ref SDS 10 0000.
261502 -
261503 - Fleshed out the discussion with Charles to create a better case study
261504 - and develop the link between faster communication flows of the New
261505 - World Order and mistakes that lead to frustrations in the workplace.
261506 - It shows the advantage of Continual Learning called for in ISO and by
261507 - Tofflers and reengineering management concepts provided by the SDS
261508 - "Management Cycle." The record illustrates Executive support to
261509 - improve earnings
261510 -
261511 - [On 951106 sent letter to Charles at S&C. ref SDS 14 0866]
261512 -

2618 - Progress
2619 -
261901 - This morning I developed the scenario of events a little better from
261902 - the discussion with Charles at S&C on 951102. ref SDS 10 It shows
261903 - that S&C faced a very complex sequence of cause and effect related to
261904 - parts, different organizations, people and work tasks, which is hard
261905 - to track by conversation. ref SDS 10 7546
261906 -
261907 - The customer relied on information from S&C, ref SDS 10 1674, that
261908 - obscured the correct path, because there wasn't enough time to
261909 - understand the record well enough to make "intelligent" decisions...
261910 - ref SDS 10 5688, This is the condition that causes the gradual drift
261911 - off course, cited in the NWO paper ref OF 2 line 113.
261912 -
261913 -
261914 - ..
261915 - Communication Engineer
261916 - Case Study - Executive Support, Productivity
261917 -
261918 - This real life scenario illustrates how SDS improves communications,
261919 - ref SDS 10 9975. The ethic in using SDS is explained at ref SDS 10
261920 - 9087, and responds to Morris' question on 951103 about several people
261921 - using SDS on the same project. ref SDS 11 9066
261922 -
261923 - The entire record shows the kind of work a Communication Engineer does
261924 - to help an executive use Communication Metrics to understand what
261925 - happened, ref SDS 10 line 74, and discover a solution, ref SDS 10 line
261926 - 136, that makes money, per ref SDS 4 line 207 and ref SDS 7 line 263.

261929 - ..
261930 - Management Cycle - Continuing Learning
261931 - Continual Learning - Narrative Therapy
261932 - Investing Intellectual Capital
261933 -
261934 - The S&C problem shows how the SDS "Management Cycle" creates "case
261935 - studies" to support continual learning called out in ISO 10006,
261936 - ref SDS 2 line 484, by producing a training resource for the
261937 - organization. Automated integration of time, information and
261938 - subjects comprises an effective:
261939 -
261940 - ..
261941 - Operating System for People and Organizations
261942 -
261943 - ...discussed with Intel on 950927. ref SDS 3 8400
261944 -
261945 - The benefits of investing intellectual capital are seen from the
261946 - manner in which SDS comprises a personal and organizational body
261947 - of experience to support goals of Continual Learning using SDS
261948 - tools that provide traceability for converting information in SDS
261949 - into useful knowledge
261950 -
261951 - [On 951117 related to "narrative therapy" in psychology,
261952 - ref SDS 18 9624
261953 - ..
261954 - Power of Continaul Learning was developed from meeting
261955 - with Univeristy of Santa Clara on 951012. ref SDS 6 4444
261956 -
261957 - Implementation of SDS for design support was developed on
261958 - 951026. ref SDS 7 7773
261959 -
261960 - SDS unique ability to accomplish alignment required for ISO
261961 - criteria, reported on 951026. ref SDS 7 3384
261962 -
261963 -
261964 - ..
261965 - Communication Scribe Skills
261966 -
261967 - Skills of writing SDS records as a "Communication Scribe" are
261968 - analyst, reporter, advocate, diplomat, psychologist.
261969 -
261970 - Not Enough Time
261971 -
261972 - Explanation of time required takes to capture the record is
261973 - reported on 951117. ref SDS 18 0682
261974 -
261975 - Fear that people don't have enough time is reported on 951012.
261976 - ref SDS 6 0582
261977 -
261978 - Example of pressures that inhibit using SDS are from the S&C
261979 - tire problem reviewed on 951102, ref SDS 10 5688, per ideas
261980 - discussed with Intel on 950927. ref SDS 3 5002
261981 -
261982 -
261983 - ..
261984 - Wisdom
261985 -
261986 - This typically "common sense" (ref SDS 5 7008) capacity is mostly
261987 - associated with experience. SDS support for Continual Learning
261988 - from automating the Management Cycle leverages "wisdom." Having
261989 - previously worked out what we "know," we are positioned to make
261990 - future judgements about what is important to know more about.
261991 -
261992 - This leads to "enlightenment" cited in the New World Order...
261993 - paper, ref OF 2 5839
261994 -
261995 - Wisdom was considered in reviewing the "Improbable Machine" on
261996 - 900303. ref SDS 1 4856

262002 - ref SDS 20 7330
262003 -
262004 -
262005 - ..
262006 -
262007 - The dynamic of Communication Metrics makes it practical to improve
262008 - upon President Kenedy's executive work practice of "Don't get mad, get
262009 - even." by offering the opportunity to use traceability and continual
262010 - learning to...
262011 -
262012 - Don't get mad, get better.
262013 -
262014 - We can make everybody better by improving communications, ref SDS
262015 - 10 line 169.
262016 -
262017 -
262018 - ..
262019 - New World Order - Information Highway
262020 - Fewer People Chasing More Information
262021 -
262022 - This is an example of psychological demands caused by faster
262023 - information flows, ref SDS 10 line 180, which cause people to get mad,
262024 - ref SDS 10 line 194, discussed with Morris at ref SDS 11 line 116 and
262025 - at ref SDS 9 line 156, and submitted to Patty at SCU at ref SDS 8 line
262026 - 97.
262027 -

262033 - SDS 20 line 150.]
262034 -

262036 - management support, ref SDS 17 line 92.]
262037 -
262038 -
262039 - ..
262040 - Challenge of Cultural Change
262041 -
262042 - Trying to get S&C to write better reports so the person who writes
262043 - them, other S&C people and the customer can understand them is
262044 - explained at ref SDS 19 line 163.
262045 -
262046 - Trying to write something "concise" to save time results in
