120911 - Should discuss with Turner making their presentation in the form of a
120912 - panel discussion as a mock project progress meeting to demonstrate how
120913 - Turner acts as a Communication Manager.
120914 -
120915 -     This is related to difference between managing craft work and
120916 -     leadership in managing managers, reviewed on 960301. ref SDS 2

120929 -     Have an owner's rep, the Construction Manager, the contractor a
120930 -     subcontractor, the inspector, the engineer and a carpenter.
120932 -      ..
120933 -     Discuss a change of adding a door, or relocating a door and
120934 -     explain the requirements to the carpenter.  Then let the
120935 -     carpenter leave and go try to build the door based on the verbal
120936 -     explanation in the meeting.
120937 -
120938 -            [On 011102 prominent IBM executive proposes Knowledge

120944 -     The carpenter comes back and says it is built.
120945 -
120946 -        Or maybe the carpenter returns and asks for repeated
120947 -        confirmation of instructions and clarifications.  The owner
120948 -        then asks the architect to write up some details to help the
120949 -        carpenter remember.  The architect says there isn't enough
120950 -        time, he has to go to another meeting then catch a plan for
120951 -        another project in Japan.
120953 -         ..
120954 -        The owner says to the architect your job is to write up the
120955 -        details to ensure the work is performed correctly and so we
120956 -        have a record of what was done.
120958 -         ..
120959 -        The architect makes the argument that everybody knows what was
120960 -        said, but he he goes ahead and writes up the instructions with
120961 -        a sketch of how the carpenter should construct the door.
120962 -
120963 -            Another reason for the details is to provide a baseline of
120964 -            understanding.  We make a drawing then work from that, so
120965 -            we do not have to argue about what was agreed about the
120966 -            details everytime it comes up.  Why are the details for
120967 -            doing the work on the door important to establish, but not
120968 -            the details on the other work.
120970 -      ..
120971 -     Everyone goes out discovers the carpenter built something
120972 -     different because remembering critical details is difficult.
120974 -      ..
120975 -     The solution the construction industry has evolved is creating
120976 -     drawings that show what was agreed at the meeting.
120978 -      ..
120979 -     Then let the meeting go on and discuss a variety of other things,
120980 -     and then suggest who is going to do the meeting notes.  Have the
120981 -     discussion about everybody was at the meeting, and there is not
120982 -     enough time to write this up.

120986 - This would illustrate how disputes get started that David at TMJ&B
120987 - will have described in the previous session.

121315 - are very busy right now.
121317 -  ..
121318 - We want to review results from understandings with David Buoncristiani
