090901 - Followed up work at ref SDS 13 line 90.  Bill said he received the
090902 - email submitted yesterday.

091302 - Theme, Thesis
091303 -
091304 - He seemed to indicate concurrance with the new agenda, except he still
091305 - has reservations about whether Dr. Brusman is adequate for the
091306 - psycyologist role.  We reviewed the scope and he seems to accept it,
091307 - but feels Brusman's video does not show he would be effective in doing
091308 - this presentation.
091309 -
091310 -
091311 -     Meeting with Sherrill
091312 -
091313 -     Bill said the meeting with Sherrill has been changed again.
091314 -     Sherrill is meeting or trying to call the two engineers
091315 -     recommended previously for speakers, so he can interview them
091316 -     about supporting Asilomar.  As a result they are planning to meet
091317 -     tomorrow instead of today.
091318 -
091319 -     This means Sherrill is interviewing speakers without having read
091320 -     the NWO paper and without getting closer on what the agenda is
091321 -     speakers need to address.
091322 -
091323 -
091324 -     Meeting with Morris
091325 -
091326 -     Bill said he asked Sherrill if they are still meeting with Morris
091327 -     on Friday, and Sherrill indicated he would try to do this.
091328 -
091329 -     Another discussion later in the day seemed to indicate this is
091330 -     viewed more positively.

SUBJECTS
Brusman, Dr. Maynard

1004 - Summary/Objective
1005 -
100501 - Followed up work at ref SDS 13 line 187.  He continues to feel Dr.
100502 - Brusman may not be a good choice to speak at Asilomar, ref SDS 2 line
100503 - 201.  Bill said the video Dr. Brusman submitted did not show him to be
100504 - the kind of speaker that typically is used for PMI and/or the Asilomar
100505 - event.  He feels we need to fill the psychologist role in some way,
100506 - i.e., it need not be a psychologist, but that part of the scope is
100507 - useful for the theme and thesis, ref SDS 3 line 83, as set out in the
100508 - agenda, ref OF 2 line 35.
100509 -
100510 - It is unclear whether the concern about Dr. Brusman reflects a need to
100511 - make space in the speaking agenda for the two engineers Sherrill is
100512 - interviewing today.
100513 -
100514 - In any case, we need to solve this.

130608 - point ideas at ref SDS 12 line 143, for contacting Jim Pennypacker.
130609 - Bill said he called Jim but was unable to speak with him because Jim

SUBJECTS
Zells, Lois (may replace Walsh)
Moderator
Bush, Roger for moderator
Walsh, Bill -- 49ers

1707 - Summary/Objective
1708 -
170801 - Followed up work at ref SDS 13 line 280.
170802 -
170803 - Bill said Lois' last name is "Zells".  I have to correct the record
170804 - where it is entered as "Bell."
170805 -
170806 - He received the email, ref DIP 7 line 60 suggesting Lois for a panel,
170807 - and email ref DIP 8 line 30 showing that Lois Bell might be a good
170808 - candidate for the moderator and suggests meeting with Roger Bush about
170809 - being a moderator.
170810 -
170811 - I am not sure if the SDS record on her being a facilitator was
170812 - included in the SDS update disk I gave to Millie yesterday, but Bill
170813 - said he has not yet picked it up so he has not considered the ideas on
170814 - audience participation for "group think" and facilitator at ref SDS 13
170815 - line 309.
170816 -
170817 -  ..
170818 - Bill Walsh
170819 -
170820 - We considered the advantage of having Bill Walsh explain the role of
170821 - innovation in decision making under pressure, and how this can greatly
170822 - improve performance, ref OF 2 line 28.  Walsh is better positioned to
170823 - make this point that sets the stage for the entire event, ref SDS 1
170824 - line 194.
170825 -
170826 - Bill can explain what happens to the quality of the work when done
170827 - under fire, when working quickly.  A simple example is the Pittsburg
170828 - Steelers who threw two interceptions, two mistakes because someone did
170829 - not have enough time to make a correct decision.  He can explain the
170830 - value of innovation to provide a process for making quick decisions,
170831 - and how being prepared improves execution of such innovations.
