262101 - We need a simple, direct way to illustrate why business should develop
262102 - a new catagory of worker, called:

262108 - The work environment has changed, as discussed with Morris on 951101,
262109 - when he described hiring psychologists to meet challenge of failed
262110 - communication in a faster paced world. ref SDS 14 1759
262111 - ..
262112 - Information is flowing faster and there are fewer people chasing
262113 - more of it, so we need help to convert it into knowledge to alleviate
262114 - the problems of more mistakes leading to anger and frustrations that
262115 - impair personal effectiveness, which is being treated after the fact
262116 - by psychologists, discussed with Morris again on 951103. ref SDS 15
262117 - 4355  A dedicated person is needed to look for deviations because some
262118 - people cannot deal with the constant stream of conflicts, ref SDS 16
262119 - line 394.  People prefer to avoid small problems, but Communication
262120 - Managers can work them so they do not grow into big ones.

262129 - In the same way that businesses now find it essential to have
262130 - accountants, marketing people, cost engineers, all of which roles were
262131 - filled previously by the chief executive, we now need communication
262132 - engineers.  Once the volume of activity exceedes the capacity to keep
262133 - up, executives hire specialists and the system developes specialized
262134 - training for them.  These changes have taken a long time to take hold
262135 - in the past.  But we built a world that moves faster, so executives
262136 - have to move now to prepare the culture of their organizations to meet
262137 - the challenges of the 21st century.

300702 - Communications are Failing
300703 -
300704 - Now we see growing evidence that the volume of communication is
300705 - exceeding the capacity of executives (i.e., decision makers) to keep
300706 - up.  This is seen from reports of too many meetings, ref SDS 21 line
300707 - 69, and growing trends for organizations to hire psychologists that
300708 - treat frustrations caused by miscommunications as Examples of
300709 - disorders treated are cited by Dr. Maynard Brusman, ref DRP 1 line 128
300710 - and at ref DRP 1 line 72, and ref DRP 1 line 206.

320504 - Bill Walsh indicated that football teams hire special coaches to help
320505 - players remember the right things to do.  Maybe we need special
320506 - "coaches" for organizations who have the experience that can help
320507 - young managers handle the increased activity.  The activity that
320508 - managers need help with is investing intellectual capital.
320509 -
320510 -     A football game needs special coaching because things happen fast,
320511 -     like playing Tetris.  Business is speeding up.  Maybe we need a
320512 -     similar strategy.

390707 - Want to apply idea used at Intel of making a list of the most
390708 - important tools and businesses systems, ref SDS 7 line 625.  Then have
390709 - attendees at the seminar put their name on the list and give it to
390710 - someone else.  Then ask them if they can remember what they listed.
390711 - Many will be able to remember it.  How many can remember the priority,
390712 - i.e., what was at the top of the list.  That is why the list is so
390713 - powerful.  It helps us remember structure, order, priority.  Can we
390714 - use the computer to improve upon this list making ability?
390715 - ..
390716 - As the pace of activity increases, people are less able to
390717 - remember things and the structure, order and priority.  That is why we
390718 - need a new tool and a new person to do this.
