080701 - Followed up work at ref SDS 7 line 93, ref SDS 6 line 78.
080702 -
080703 - Received an alternate agenda from Bill ref DRT 1 line 24, which he
080704 - prepared based on my input ref OF 2 line 16, and ideas from Sherrill
080705 - McDonald in discussions and his memo to Ahmet at ref DRP 1 line 11.
080706 -
080707 - I submitted an initial acknowledgement of receiving Bill's email, via
080708 - ref DIT 1 line 28.  After I did the analysis below, rather than
080709 - sending it, I submitted further summary observations, ref DIT 2 line
080710 - 32, so I would not overcrowd considerations for the meeting with
080711 - Morris tomorrow.

081106 - Van Kasper's Information Revolution on defining the "Information
081107 - Highway." ref SDS 2 line 201, see ref DRT 1 line 39.

081114 - I submitted a second email ref DIT 2 line 36, after I did the analysis
081115 - shown in ref OF 3 line 20 and on Covey, see below, noting possible

SUBJECTS
Covey
7 Habits Highly Effective People

1005 -
100501 - Sherrill's agenda shows a presentation on Stephen Covey's ideas from
100502 - his book on "7 Habits of Highly Successful People," at ref DRT 1 line
100503 - 96.
100504 -
100505 - Covey's book is reviewed at ref SDS 1 line 103.  It appears Sherrill
100506 - feels technology should be helping leaders implement Covey's ideas.
100507 -
100508 -      A key idea Covey advocates is that leaders seek first to
100509 -      understand and diagnose, then prescribe, ref SDS 1 line 387. This
100510 -      means don't look before your leap, think before you act,
100511 -      investigate, review, develop options, then decide.  In short it
100512 -      means be prepared.
100513 -
100514 -      A key method he seems to advocate to accomplish "understanding"
100515 -      is what he calls "sharpening the saw" ref SDS 1 line 124, which
100516 -      he explains as keeping a diary.  Keeping a diary gives us ready
100517 -      access to a resouce for investigating and reviewing.  Keeping a
100518 -      diary helps us "be prepared."
100519 -
100520 - Can technology help leaders seek first to understand by keeping a
100521 - diary, i.e., can technology make it faster to keep a diary and use its
100522 - contents effectively?  Second, can technology help leaders "diagnose"
100523 - which is another term for analyse, investigate, clarify, check for
100524 - correlcations and align communications?
