0908 - Summary/Objective
0909 -
090901 - Follow up ref SDS 9 line 50, ref SDS 8 line 72.
090902 -
090903 - Dave Vannier indicates he is willing to talk about the COE report in
090904 - connection with using Communication Metrics to support his new
090905 - assignement at Intel.  I notified him via ref DIT 1 line 30 about
090906 - sending the report to him.

091301 - Received reply from Dave Vannier, ref DRT 1 000 responding to my
091302 - letter ref DIP 8 0001, advising Dave about the COE report, ref DRP 3
091303 - 6172, received at ref SDS 7 3368, and asking if he would like to see
091304 - the report.
091305 -
091306 - Dave says he is willing to meet and talk. ref DRT 1 8558
091307 -
091308 - He believes Communication Metrics would replace the communication
091309 - method in his new position which he describes as...
091310 -
091311 -
091312 -              "people intensive but moving to Web based,"
091313 -
091314 -
091315 - ...ref DRT 1 8558  This description seems to reflect discussions with
091316 - Morris on 970123 about use of "constructive confrontation" in meetings
091317 - at Intel. ref SDS 6 1111
091318 -
091319 -      [See submission on 971113 example of SDS using Web and interanet
091320 -      capability with HTML, ref SDS 14 0633.]
091321 -
091322 - I submitted ref DIT 1 0001 saying I would like to meet and talk.
091323 -
091324 - I explain Communication Metrics is a powerful utility like the
091325 - alphabet and the microprocessor that can be used in any management
091326 - setting.
091327 - ..
091328 - Dave indicates Communication Metrics would replace existing
091329 - Intel methods which are "people intensive, but moving to Web based,"
091330 - ref DRT 1 8558.  This may relate to discussions with Morris in January
091331 - about Intel meeting procedures, ref SDS 6 1111.  It reflects
091332 - discussions with Dave last year about Intel trying to use intranets,
091333 - ref SDS 1 1111 and ref SDS 1 1112.
091334 -
091335 -      [On 970603 Dave explained goal to improve management by guess and
091336 -      gossip at Intel. ref SDS 12 5803]
091337 -
091338 -      [On 970728 meeting with Keith Kwasney about efforts to develop
091339 -      better project management controls support, ref SDS 13 7773.]
091340 -
091341 -      [On 990422 Dave advises Com Metrics on Internet supports Intel's
091342 -      goal to use web for management. ref SDS 15 8400]
091343 -
091344 -      [On 990907 Dave indicates Com Metrics on Interent demonstrates
091345 -      self- evident benefits for knowledge work. ref SDS 16 0149]
091346 -
091347 - I explain that Communication Metrics actually supplements and empowers
091348 - existing methods by adding "intelligence" to information, people and
091349 - organizations, ref DIT 1 line 33. Intelligence is helpful for most any
091350 - process.
091351 -
091352 - Dave feels that to convert Intel he would have to demonstrate he can
091353 - use it to add value, ref DRT 1 line 28.
091354 -
091355 - This position essentially reflects the idea that David would use SDS,
091356 - so I need to convince him to try the idea of a Communication Manager
091357 - as a new role, similar to using a chip engineer, accountant, marketing
091358 - manager or other specialized craft to, in this case, perform a new
091359 - science of Communication Metrics.  This requires using the science to
091360 - do some work at Intel, so they can evaluate it as the Corps of
091361 - Engineers did to discover it works differently from, and much better
091362 - than, initial perceptions, ref DRP 3 line 174.
091363 -
091364 - If Dave ultimately feels Communication Metrics would not work for him,
091365 - my follow up will be to ask Dave to facilitate a meeting with the
091366 - people at Intel in charge of their capital program, per ref DIP 4 line
091367 - 45 and at ref SDS 5 line 69.
