0809 - Discussion
0810 -
081001 - Denis wants to proceed with Communication Metrics support for their
081002 - Airport assignment, ref SDS 5 7479.  He feels at this time they want
081003 - to limit project support to my personal services.
081004 -
081005 - We considered the need for extra help during project launch, per our
081006 - discussion last week. ref SDS 5 7479
081007 - ..
081008 - I asked about the size of the project.
081009 -
081010 -     Denis said their fees will be $3M - $4M. They will do design and
081011 -     project management for an approximate $100M construction project.
081012 -
081013 -         [On 951109 size of current project was clarified to be $45M,
081014 -         ref SDS 7 5634.]
081015 -
081016 -     This will entail major coordination with the Airport, BART,
081017 -     affected government bodies and regulatory agencies.  This is a
081018 -     high risk environment that will require political skill and strong
081019 -     PM experience.
081020 -
081021 -         [On 951109 reviewed level-of-effort in relation to Cal Tech
081022 -         seminar on project risks, ref SDS 7 1360.]
081023 -
081024 -
081025 -  ..
081026 - Integrated Support - Collaboration
081027 -
081028 - Denis has talked to the project manager, Kevin, who remembers me from
081029 - visiting the office to assist Denis in 1993 and 1994.  Denis wants to
081030 - meet to demonstrate SDS and explain the collaboration on the PG&E
081031 - assignment, so Kevin can determine how he wants to proceed on the
081032 - Airport project.  Denis will attend.  I asked if Bill can join us, if
081033 - he is willing, so Kevin can talk to someone who has been through the
081034 - process.  Denis agreed.  My approach would be to do the SDS slideshow,
081035 - then illustrate how SDS works by stepping through some tasks performed
081036 - for PG&E, per our discussion last week, ref SDS 5 line 177.
081037 -
081038 -     [On 951109 Kevin did not attend the meeting. ref SDS 7 2576]
081039 -
081040 - Would like to show the Subject Index and either begin on this task for
081041 - the new project or schedule a date to start since that will be a
081042 - primary organizing utility for SDS on the project.
081043 -
081044 - Generally, I am prepared to devote considerable time to accomplish
081045 - Denis' objective of using Communication Metrics to full effect.  This
081046 - can include attendance at meetings, development of the project
081047 - schedule, coordination of parties, all in collaboration with Kevin and
081048 - according to his instructions.  This may require co-location near his
081049 - desk for a period of time.
081050 -
081051 -
081052 -
081053 - Executive SDS Support
081054 -
081055 - I suggested consideration be given to developing direct admin support
081056 - for him and Sylvia while the organization ramps up its capabilities.
081057 - I may be able to provide someone with admin background for both an
081058 - architect and a general contractor who can also use SDS.  This person
081059 - cannot provide Communication Metrics support as I will do for the
081060 - Airport project, but can enable Denis and Sylvia to do this for
081061 - themselves by ensuring routine capturing the record and linking up
081062 - Scheduled tasks to their history.  I suggested he use a small
081063 - dictation unit to support this effort.
081064 -
081065 - Denis asked where someone like this can be found?
081066 -
081067 - I said the person is in Washington, so to get her to come to
081068 - California, KW would have to guarantee a minimum of 6 months and the
081069 - annual salary should be about $70K.  This is not a secretarial role.
081070 - It is executive support, per discussions with IBM at ref SDS 4 line
081071 - 205.
081072 -
081073 - Denis said KW tried to use Jennel to take meeting notes, per our ideas
081074 - last year to use her as the SDS support person, ref SDS 1 line 123. It
081075 - turned out that she could not pick up SDS and the notes proved not to
081076 - be very helpful.  It takes special skills to support Communication
081077 - Metrics, like those described at ref SDS 3 line 67.
081078 -
081079 - Scheduled follow up for 951130.
