0806 - Summary/Objective
0807 -
080701 - Follow up ref SDS 41 line 78, ref SDS 40 line 77.
080702 -
080703 - He made good progress with Sherrill today on finalizing the thesis and
080704 - agenda.  Sherrill offered ideas for illustrating ideas using specific
080705 - scenarios.  We reviewed objectives for meeting with Morris tomorrow.

0810 - Discussion
0811 -
081101 - I advised of sending the SDS update at ref SDS 43 line 23.  He will go
081102 - get it this evening to integrate our work this past week into his work
081103 - today.
081104 -
081105 -
081106 -
081107 - Theme, Thesis
081108 -
081109 - Bill said Sherrill had some new ideas today for the agenda.  Bill will
081110 - write them up and submit via interent this evening for my comments
081111 - tomorrow morning before he leaves to pickup Sherrill.
081112 -
081113 -      [See follow up at ref SDS 44 line 110.]
081114 -
081115 -
081116 - Executive use of Automation
081117 -
081118 - Sherrill wants to do a scenario on the computer to show how it is used
081119 - by executives day to day to make money, similar to what he did on
081120 - partnering at Asilomar in 1994, ref SDS 4 line 70.  Bill indicated
081121 - Sherrill feels Morris has the credentials to demonstrate how an
081122 - executive can use automation effectively.  I mentioned that Morris
081123 - uses Echo Pro to keep his calendar which is disconnected from his
081124 - work, ref SDS 15 line 599.  Imagine how Bill, Andy, and Lou use
081125 - automation to manage their work at Microsoft, Intel and IBM, ref SDS 8
081126 - line 368?
081127 -
081128 - This sort of comports with what Intel wants to do per ref SDS 42 line
081129 - 129.

0812 -
0813 -
0814 - 2154 called Morris
0815 -
081501 - Reminded him of the meeting tomorrow.  He asked what time the meeting
081502 - is.
081503 -
081504 - I advised it is 1000.
081505 -
081506 - He said they have some people coming in tomorrow.  He has to spend
081507 - time with them; but he will try to fit Bill and Sherrill in.
081508 -
081509 - I indicated the meeting with Bill and Sherrill should not take long.
081510 -
081511 - I asked if he has reviewed the meeting notes from 960227.  Morris said
081512 - they are on his desk at the office.  He has not read them.  He has to
081513 - prepare for another matter tomorrow morning.  We considered the
081514 - advantage of examining the 960227 meeting notes to prepare for the
081515 - discussion with Bill and Sherrill.
081516 - ..
081517 - Morris will try to do this if he can remember it.
081518 -
081519 -     [On 960315 results of meeting. ref SDS 45 8833]
081520 -
081521 - I mentioned how this is similar to Intel, per discussion with Marcy
081522 - today, ref SDS 42 line 113.
081523 -
081524 - I suggested considering tomorrow:
081525 -
081526 -     •  The panel scenario he recommended at ref SDSA> line 511, but
081527 -        without finalizing any particular sequence.
081528 -
081529 -     •  The reengineering changes and implications for new skills,
081530 -        roles and tools, ref SDS 32 line 593, and ref SDS 32 line 889.
081531 -
081532 -        ...executive mindset that requires support because there isn't
081533 -        enough time to manage communications, ref SDS 32 line 766.
081534 -
081535 -     •  Skills, tools and name for person who provides communication
081536 -        support, ref SDS 32 line 905.
081537 -
081538 -
081539 -  ..
081540 - Example Scenario Morris could cite
081541 -
081542 - I mentioned that Sherrill wants to discuss Morris demonsrating how an
081543 - executive uses automation.   This is consistent with our original plan
081544 - for him to demonstrate Echo Pro, but that was to have been done during
081545 - the Sunday morning panel discussion, and that seems to have changed.
081546 -
081547 -      [On 960315 this matter was not discussed. ref SDS 45 1060]
081548 - ..
081549 - I suggested a possible illustration would be the support for the
081550 - Product Development process Chips has been preparing.  Morris
081551 - mentioned it to me initially in August, ref SDS 7 line 99; progress
081552 - was reported at ref SDS 9 line 128. I developed information at
081553 - ref SDS 12 line 424, that was reviewed for applicability at
081554 - ref SDS 14 line 56, and then discussed with Morris at ref SDS 13 line
081555 - 33, and then submitted and reviewed with Morris in a meeting at
081556 - ref SDS 15 line 65, which was then followed up at ref SDS 17 line 67.
081557 -
