1005 - Summary/Objective
1006 -
100601 - Followed up work at ref SDS 11 line 59 at ref SDS 8 line 57 and Discussion
1010 -
101001 - I thanked John for the copy of ISO 10006 at ref SDS 9 line 59, and my
101002 - letter ref DIP 1 line 33 sent via internet at ref SDS 10 line 97.
101003 -
101004 - John said he did not receive the internet message, but he has gotten
101005 - my phone messages ref SDS 11 line 77, requesting clarification of ISO
101006 - internet addresses, per ref SDS 10 line 86.  He has been unable to get
101007 - any further information.
101008 -
101009 -     John said Raychem was registered for ISO by Lloyds of London.
101010 -
101011 -     He said Raychem does not require its design professionals and
101012 -     contractors to be ISO registered or compliant.  I had a
101013 -     misunderstanding on this point from our discussion in July, ref
101014 -     SDS 1 line 274.  I did not ask John what proof of quality Raychem
101015 -     does require its construction vendors to provide.
101016 -
101017 -
101018 -  ..
101019 - Management Changes at Raychem
101020 -
101021 - John said there have been more management changes at Raychem, ref SDS
101022 - 8 line 209.
101023 -
101024 -     Half of the Vice Presidents are gone.
101025 -
101026 -     He has a meeting today to find out what changes will be made in
101027 -     his department.
101028 -
101029 -        [See follow up at ref SDS 17 line 86.]
101030 -
101031 -
101032 - PMI Speakers
101033 -
101034 - I asked John about coordinating Raychem's presentation to PMI and
101035 - preparation in conjuction with Intel per ref SDS 8 line 59.
101036 -
101037 -     While we were talking I got a call from Joan to change the Intel
101038 -     meeting to next week, ref SDS 15 line 71.
101039 -
101040 -     He said he wants to do the PMI event, but cannot meet until
101041 -     December.
101042 -
101043 -     John said he attended a professional event recently and met a
101044 -     terrific speaker.  This person is a Facilities expert.  Raychem
101045 -     has used this person periodically to interview executives about
101046 -     various issues.  John said he has good ideas about how to affect
101047 -     change in organizations.

101055 -
101056 -
101057 - Traceability and Continual Learning
101058 -
101059 - I did not mention my letter ref DIP 2 line 32, submitted at ref SDS 7
101060 - line 66, confirming our consideration of how Raychem applies
101061 - "Traceability" and "Continual Learning" per ref SDS 4 line 132.
101062 -
101063 -
101064 -     I need to follow up when John has more time to visit with Raychem
101065 -     to see examples of how they implement traceability.  This is what
101066 -     we want Raychem to demonstrate in its presentation to PMI.
101067 -
101068 -         [Raychem later closed this department.]
101069 -
101070 -     The need is highlighted by reports from organizations that perform
101071 -     ISO registration for companies which identify documented
101072 -     procedures to perform traceability, but employees don't have
101073 -     enough time to perform them adequatley, ref SDS 12 line 304.

1306 -   ..
130601 - Mail Not Being Delivered
130602 - 
130603 - I asked John about difficulties getting mail delivered.
130604 -
130605 -    He said this is a problem at Raychem.  He has had special delivery
130606 -    mail held a month because someone in the mailroom put in a special
130607 -    overnight holding room, then went on vacation and nobody delivered
130608 -    it to John.
130609 -
130610 -    E-Mail reliabiliaty
130611 -
130612 -    I mentioned recent discussions about increased information flows
130613 -    and usefulness of e-mail, per ref SDS 14 line 172.
130614 -
130615 -    John said Raychem has encountered problems using the Internet, per
130616 -    above he has not received ref DIP 1 line 33 submitted via Internet
130617 -    at ref SDS 10 line 97.
130618 -
130619 -         I mentioned difficulties we have had getting internet mail
130620 -         delivered, per ref SDS 14 line 185, ref SDS 13 line 72 and
130621 -         ref SDS 6 line 58.
130622 -    ..
130623 -    John said he has not noticed himself, nor among colleagues at
130624 -    Raychem, increased errors and frustrations from increased
130625 -    information using fax and e-mail, reported on 951101. ref SDS 14
130626 -    2313
130627 -
130628 -        It is unclear why failure of mail delivery and e-mail, which
130629 -        John reports above, ref SDS 0 4435, would not, in part, result
130630 -        from the increase in the volume of mail, and would not cause
130631 -        errors, frustrations, anger and emotional turmoil.
130632 -
130633 -        [On 960117 John left Raychem under reengineering to downsize
130634 -        for improving productivity and earnings. ref SDS 18 3002]

170814 - ideas per my letter at ref DIP 1 line 51, submitted at ref SDS 10 line

170816 -
170817 - Maybe the thing to do is to find out if Doug can give us a name of
170818 - someone else who teaches Covey.
