151411 - Intel Cannot Study SDS at This Time Due to Lack of Bandwidth

151413 - Dave says he has tried several channels about meeting to evaluate
151414 - Communication Metrics, per telecon on 960507, ref SDS 34 8538, but he
151415 - has been unable to get any interest in seeing SDS "software
151416 - capabilities." ref DRT 1 0001
151418 -  ..
151419 - Dave cites Intel's initiatives with other consultants and vendors that
151420 - result in not enough "bandwidth" for Communication Metrics at this
151421 - time, reflecting his letter ref DRP 3 8444, received on 960509,
151422 - ref SDS 36 3502, and earlier discussion on 960507. ref SDS 34 1111.

151429 - Not enough "bandwidth" is another way of saying people do not have
151430 - time to think due to limited span of attention, about how SDS and
151431 - Communication Metrics add "intelligence" to management, which aligns
151432 - with Kissinger's point reported in the record on 940609 that
151433 - management is an "Alice in Wonderland" environment of continual

1517 - Analysis
1518 -
151801 - David's letter does not say what was submitted to those who determined
151802 - they are too busy to investigate SDS, POIMS and Communication Metrics.
151803 - There is no consideration of the need to combine visualization with
151804 - textural analysis, set out in the record on 960507. ref SDS 34 V69K
151805 -
151806 -    [See correlation of this response with cultural resistance, as
151807 -    evidenced by early efforts in chip industry to introduce VLSI
151808 -    design, ref SDS 38 1368.]
151810 -  ..
151811 - If they got the proposal I submitted, ref DIP 2 0001, and the follow
151812 - up clarification on the need to support the analysis function,
151813 - ref DIP 6 0033, then that is the most that can be done.   My sense is
151814 - that David explained SDS verbally, or possibly sent an email to some
151815 - people with his understanding that SDS is a DOS program to write and
151816 - store text. That is not very "exciting."

151819 -  ..
151820 - Disallusioned from Failure Prevents Experimenting with SDS
151821 - Intel Does Not Believe SDS Lifts Cognition and Communication
151822 -
151823 - David's observation that Intel has too many other initiatives underway
151824 - at this time (not enough "bandwidth" ref DRT 1 0001), for someone to
151825 - see a technology that lifts the capacity to think, remember and
151826 - communicate, ref DIP 6 9943, seems incorrect because cognition is the
151827 - primary force of human progress, and nobody else knows how to improve
151828 - it.  This really means Intel does not have enough faith to make even
151829 - an inquiry about this opportunity, cited by Landauer concerning LSA
151830 - technology. ref SDS 18 8668  Lack of faith reflects painful experience
151831 - that Intel was unable to use its technology to improve its management,
151832 - and so abandoned the effort, reported on 950927. ref SDS 2 7732
151833 -

151835 -        similar to alphabet technology. ref SDS 40 1037

151838 -      Bandwidth is borrowed from communications industry for wireless
151839 -      transmission using a band of frequencies.  It has become popular
151840 -      in the wave of effort to expand the Internet; broadband is a
151841 -      hoped for technology that will replace the PC, as discussed in
151842 -      the article in Forbes ASAP reviewed on 960304. ref SDS 10 8302
151844 -  ..
151845 - Grove noted in the 960226 issue of Forbes ASAP that none of the bright
151846 - people in technology were able to forecast the marketing phenomenon of
151847 - email, Internet and desktop teleconferencing, ref SDS 9 8409, ref SDS
151848 - 9 8499.  This shows the need for a process of continual investigation
151849 - for ideas that may form the basis of a strong new market.

151864 -
151865 -      We are in a bit of a loop, because the implication from this
151866 -      result is that folks at Intel, with whom David has spoken about
151867 -      this study, do not believe technology can lift the capacity to
151868 -      think, remember and communicate, per discussion with Marcy. on

151870 -      demonstrate it can, per results from PG&E. ref DRP 1 0001  The
151871 -      only escape is for Intel to come to recognize that their other

151878 -      evolution, that management now requires more than talking and
151879 -      getting summary reports.  The marketing challenge is that what we
151880 -      are improving is hidden from the conscious mind.

151915 -  ..
151916 - Intel will find their hopes for better management from GUI and the
151917 - Internet, will not be fulfilled without the discipline of SDS, because
151918 - "management" and leadership are no longer simply about telling people
151919 - what to do.  More and more leadership and management require figuring
151920 - out what to tell people, and this "figuring" is a cognitive function
151921 - which only SDS can support, as explained in the New World Order paper.

151932 -  ..
151933 - The hope that pictures improve management reflects IBM's presentation
151934 - at its TechCon event on 951011, ref SDS 3 3264, and the discussion
151935 - with Dave on 960507. ref SDS 34 1111  This overlooks the fact that
151936 - only "automated integration" can accomplish their goal, per analysis
151937 - of IBM's event on 951011. ref SDS 3 6811
151939 -  ..
151940 - Right now, Intel does not have a very strongly felt need to improve
151941 - their management, because they have a near monopoly on a growing
151942 - industry that subsidizes poor management characterized by the AP story
151943 - published on 960205 that managers waste 70% of the day in endless
151944 - meetings. ref SDS 5 5222  Intel recognizes conceptually that this
151945 - bubble of opportunity won't last, per discussion with David the other

151963 - Intel May be Able to Cite Communication Metrics at Asilomar
