111003 - Developed ideas for the Asilomar event structure and agenda.
111004 -
111005 - Considered need for advertising to determine level of attendance and
111006 - availability of sufficient funds to hire key speakers.  Ideas on

1114 -
111401 - Explained ideas for the structure of the Asilomar event to accomplish
111402 - the objectives set by PMI EPT, ref SDS 13 3451, and ref SDS 13 9009.
111403 - It extends ideas and objectives for Asilomar in 1990, ref SDS 2 6678,
111404 - and in 1994, ref SDS 6 6442.

111417 -           ref SDS 16 3394.
111418 -
111419 -       The future is rushing at us.  Change will not wait.  Strong
111420 -       leadership is needed to meet the challenge of change endemic to
111421 -       the modern era of the Information highway.  Leadership builds
111422 -       strong organizations through better communications, but more and
111423 -       more we hear:
111424 -
111425 -  ..
111426 -                          There isn't enough time
111427 -
111428 -
111429 -           ...to apply sound management practice, to be prepared, noted
111430 -           by managers at Intel on 950927. ref SDS 23 6021
111431 -
111432 -           We have to use conversation to "expedite." The result is
111433 -           more mistakes, slimmer profit margins or worse, as companies
111434 -           reengineer again and again hoping to save money by reducing
111435 -           the ranks of management.
111436 -
111437 -              [On 951115 AT&T announced plans to cut 78,000 managers
111438 -              next year, ref SDS 39 0001

111441 -              ref SDS 57 0001
111442 -           ..
111443 -           This leaves fewer people chasing more information,
111444 -           leading to more mistakes and more reengineering, as
111445 -           executives echo the fabled line from the popularly acclaimed
111446 -           movie "Cool Hand Luke" starring Paul Newman:
111447 -
111448 -
111449 -                  What we have here is a failure to communicate!
111450 -
111451 -

111455 -                    "Murphy's Law" is the excuse for failure!
111456 -
111457 -
111458 -           ...per 1994 Asilomar. ref SDS 6 5882
111459 -
111460 -           More faxes and cellular phones are acquired.  Departments
111461 -           are rearranged.  Psychologists become new corporate gurus to
111462 -           treat the stress, anxiety, anger and frustration from a New
111463 -           World Order of more meetings, calls, documents, e-mail, and
111464 -           never enough time to think.  Transitioning from current
111465 -           modes of management practice means cultural change that
111466 -           requires vision, courage and ideas to meet the challenge of
111467 -           the 21st century.
111468 -           ..
111469 -           Where can we turn for ideas on dealing with a fast
111470 -           paced environment that requires better productivity from key
111471 -           players?
111472 -
111473 -           Tonight, PMI is pleased to have with us a man who has met
111474 -           this challenge with verve, innovation, excitement and
111475 -           success, leading the San Francisco 49ers from the abyss of
111476 -           perennial failure to unmatched excellence.
111477 -
111478 -  ..
111479 -
111480 -       1.  Bill Walsh explains need for maintaining shared meaning over
111481 -           time from his presentation at DEC on 951010. ref SDS 24 4883
111482 -
111483 -                       Leadership in the Fast Lane
111484 -
111485 -           As former 49er Head Coach, Bill Walsh can explain football
111486 -           is a fast paced environment where high priced players need
111487 -           extra help with their assignments to ensure adequate
111488 -           execution.
111489 -
111490 -           Where the price of success is exceeded by the cost of
111491 -           failure, i.e., failure is unacceptable as in war and
111492 -           football, special communications and continual learning
111493 -           support, is deployed.
111494 -           ..
111495 -           Rather than "reengineering" by eliminating employees,
111496 -           the 49ers have been successful by improving the performance
111497 -           of their people.
111498 -           ..
111499 -           Walsh can explain the value of innovation (designing a
111500 -           better process) to improve decision making in high pressure
111501 -           situations, from the record on 901008, ref SDS 3 0862, and
111502 -           how new, seemingly "crazy" ideas can become accepted norms
111503 -           like the "West Coast Offense," by overcoming resistance to
111504 -           change.  Having someone removed from the field of battle to
111505 -           analyse progress and formulate "intelligence" helps the
111506 -           decision maker meet dynamic conditions on the field.  The
111507 -           49ers use an expert in the booth high above the stadium for
111508 -           this "intelligence" role.  Does their success suggest any
111509 -           constructive ideas for reengineering the practice of
111510 -           management?
111511 -
111512 -               [On 960117 support from Raychem's Project of the Year,
111513 -               ref SDS 52 8447.]
111514 -
111515 -            ..
111516 -           Concept
111517 -           Faster Information Needs Faster Way to Create Knowledge
111518 -
111519 -           Gee, the pace of modern life is speeding up too -- maybe the
111520 -           risk of error in business is increasing -- maybe we can use
111521 -           some of Bill's ideas at the office.  Is there any way we can
111522 -           help high priced executives perform their assignments
111523 -           better?   Instead of cannibalizing the team, maybe we need
111524 -           to help everybody work together better.  How can we do that?
111525 -
111526 -  ..
111527 -       2.  Dr. Maynard Brusman explains pace of modern business life is
111528 -           exceeding capacity of humans to connect information using
111529 -           traditional knowledge tools based on the alphabet, per
111530 -           meeting on 951113. ref SDS 37 OP4L

111533 -              Insights, Ideas and Solutions
111534 -
111535 -           This causes continual mistakes, commonly called bumbling,
111536 -           frustration, anger and ineffectiveness in the workplace,
111537 -           cited by Kissinger on 940609. ref SDS 5 4238  An example is
111538 -           the record on where Morris did not have time to review the
111539 -           record. and ref SDS 33 615I
111540 -
111541 -                [On 960224 another example illustrating mistakes caused
111542 -                by lack of alignment in the record. ref SDS 60 7400
111543 -           ..
111544 -           Doctor Busman will further explain "reality
111545 -           monitoring" also called "metrics," ref SDS 28 line 98,
111546 -           narrative therapy, and the fragility of "knowledge,
111547 -           ref SDS 7 line 129 from too many meetings, calls, email,
111548 -           ref SDS 54 line 69 [see scope at ref SDS 66 0865].
111549 -
111550 -           Dr. Brusman offers scientific rationale based on how the
111551 -           human brain functions, ref SDS 1 line 60 and ref SDS 1 line
111552 -           129, showing need for Communication Metrics, ref SDS 9 line
111553 -           100, and for dedicated help to convert information into
111554 -           knowledge, i.e., Communication Managers, ref SDS 38 line 98,
111555 -           based in part on psychological burden of conflict, ref SDS
111556 -           33 line 410, at ref SDS 40 line 341, and ref SDS 40 line

111563 -           ..
111564 -           This is the 2nd part of the scope initially discussed
111565 -           with Dave at Intel, ref SDS 23 line 746.  When there were
111566 -           too many numbers to track, we invented accountants.  When
111567 -           there were too many customers to see, we hired salesman.
111568 -           When there were too many project failures we hired cost and
111569 -           schedule engineers.  Now there is too much information to
111570 -           track from meetings, documents, fax and e-mail.  We need a
111571 -           new kind of worker to perform Communication Metrics.
111572 -
111573 -              [Example is Telematics, ref SDS 46 line 331.]
111574 -

210601 - Possible challenge will be getting too many people to attend and then
210602 - not have enough room.  Bill will consider this issue with respect to

210604 -
210605 - Another problem is the lack of adequate presentation facilities to
210606 - enable a large number of people to see the speaker.  The idea that
210607 - Intel might demonstrate the "dream" executive workstation, means there
210608 - has to be a way for everyone to observe it.
