1114 - Progress
1115 -
111501 - Today, I developed a set of related presentation titles that show the
111502 - implementation of the theme, the thesis and gradually move the event
111503 - toward the conclusion that automation can improve communications and
111504 - this is essential for effective leadership in a faster paced world.

111510 -
111511 - Friday Night
111512 -
111513 - Introduction event theme
111514 -
111515 - Taking the Quantum Leap
111516 -
111517 - 1. Bill Walsh explains need for maintaining shared meaning over
111518 - time from his presentation at DEC, ref SDS 4 line 436.
111519 -
111520 - Leadership in the Fast Lane of Professional Football
111521 -
111522 - ..
111523 - 2. Dr. Maynard Brusman, per original scope ref SDS 7 line
111524 - 224, explains pace of modern business life is exceeding
111525 - capacity of humans to connect information using traditional
111526 - knowledge tools based on the alphabet, and how that impacts
111527 - personal feelings (stress), performance, effectiveness,
111528 - ref SDS 5 line 135. Executives are forced to rely on
111529 - conversation [ref SDS 15 line 757] and feelings rather than
111530 - content, ref SDS 9 line 289. They become disconnected from
111531 - reality, ref SDS 12 line 269, play golf, ref SDS 11 line
111532 - 148, ref SDS 12 line 224, and "worry" about making the right
111533 - connections. Dr. Brusman says "narrative therapy" might
111534 - help, ref SDS 8 line 267.
111535 - ..
111536 - Information Highway Undermines Effective
111537 - Leadership: Insights, Ideas and Solutions
111538 - ..
111539 - 3. David Buoncristiani explains what experience from the
111540 - law shows; problems set out by Dr. Brusman impact
111541 - communications between organizations. The disconnection
111542 - that causes mis-communication in the beginning is evident in
111543 - solving the problem, i.e., the process of adjusting course
111544 - through a lawsuit at the end of the process. This is
111545 - painful, so people dislike lawyers who discover the
111546 - disconnections. Therefore, wouldn't it be better to use the
111547 - tools of the law to discover and fix mistakes when they
111548 - first occur so we avoid the problems lawyers are later hired
111549 - to adjust.
111550 -
111551 - ..
111552 -
111553 - Dialog, Documents and Human Memory, a Legal Perspective
111554 - "There wasn't enough time to check the contract, the CPM,
111555 - the letter, the regulation, the submittal log..."
111556 -
111557 - [Actually developed this on 960307. ref SDS 16 4571;
111558 - and at ref SDS 16 3496.]

111566 - traceability ref SDS 1 line 584, and accomplish "Continual

111617 - 5. Panel Discussion - Promising Solutions
111618 -
111619 - Morris feels the panel should be comprised of the people who
111620 - gave the initial presentations, so the audience can question
111621 - them, ref SDS 13 line 246. He also suggests that the panel
111622 - should occur following the presentations.
111623 -
111624 - I am guessing it would be good for the speakers, except
111625 - Walsh to sit on the panel and hear arout solutions and grill
111626 - the presenters on concerns they have had from the past.
