0809 - Summary/Objective
0810 -
081001 - Followed up work at ref SDS 9 line 42, ref SDS 8 line 39, re
081002 - line 50, ref SDS 6 line 49, ref SDS 5 line 49 and ref DIP 4 line
081003 - with ref SDS 5 line 59, and the Asilomar agenda, ref OF 2 line 18.
081004 - Sent the NWO paper, ref OF 1 line 12.

0813 - Discussion
0814 -
081401 - Russ has glanced through the notes of the meeting from ref DIP 4 line
081402 - 32.  He has not yet read the NWO paper.
081403 -
081404 - I asked if he recognizes from the notes the correlation between
081405 - construction management, risk management and communication theory, ref
081406 - SDS 5 line 105, ref SDS 5 line 157, and ref SDS 5 line 417.  Russ said
081407 - he did not recognize that relationship.  He asked if I feel their
081408 - outline adequately supports the aims of the Asilomar event.  I said
081409 - Turner's outline is excellent, ref SDS 5 line 118.
081410 -
081411 - I mentioned Steve Rule's comment about Turner viewing itself as a
081412 - "Construction Manager."  Russ asked if Steve said that?  I indicated
081413 - my recollection, as shown in the notes, ref SDS 5 line 108.  Russ said
081414 - he has only glanced at the notes.  We discussed briefly Turner's role
081415 - of turning owner requirements into plans and specs and then into a
081416 - building through communications; Russ indicated it is not incorrect to
081417 - consider Turner as a "Communication Manager."  He noted Turner is so
081418 - close to the process that its broader context is not always in view on
081419 - a day to day basis.
081420 -
081421 -
081422 - Communications Model
081423 -
081424 - I wonder if Turner could prepare a model of the integrated management
081425 - cycle shown in the POIMS paper that could be assembled piece by piece
081426 - to illustrate how putting the pieces of management in the correct way
081427 - creates the strongest management team, from the discussion the other
081428 - day at, ref SDS 5 line 445.
081429 -
081430 -     They could explain how people start getting information from a
081431 -     variety of sources.  The mind associates the information with
081432 -     organizational objectives and other information to create
081433 -     knowledge as they perform the work.  The pause to write things
081434 -     down generates ideas that are then preserved.  The report on the
081435 -     knowledge and ideas from doing the work, supports plans to
081436 -     continue the work.
081437 -
081438 -     This could make a good visual.
081439 -
081440 -
081441 - Russ said he can visualize how Turner could present this model, and
081442 - will mention it when the Turner team meets to do more work on their
081443 - outline and presentation in the next week or so.
081444 -
081445 - He said they are excited about doing this event.
081446 -
081447 - Scheduled call to Allan to coordinate on the model idea.
