1109 - Summary/Objective
1110 -
111001 - Follow up ref SDS 11 0000, ref SDS 10 0000.
111002 -
111003 - Jim is back from Moscow.  He attended a PMI conference there.
111004 - Jeannette said there is a fairly large PMI membership in Russia.
111006 -  ..
111007 - She said they had a meeting last week, but she forgot to mention the
111008 - idea for an article on Communication Metrics report, ref DRP 2 line
111009 - 19, issued by the Corps of Engineers, which was sent to Jeannette on
111010 - 970502 via ref DIP 8 line 32 at ref SDS 4 line 177, per her email, ref
111011 - DRP 3 line 23 received at ref SDS 11 line 72.
111013 -  ..
111014 - Jeannette said she will contact Jim about this and let me know the
111015 - results.
111017 -  ..
111018 - Jeannette said she is very busy editing several articles and a book.
111020 -  ..
111021 - I asked if she has read Jeremy Rifkin's book "The End of Work"?
111023 -  ..
111024 - Rifkin presents the view that technology leads the way to "lean"
111025 - management, exemplified by ideas proposed on 950705 for replacing
111026 - project managers with "team leaders," ref SDS 2 2165, but everybody I
111027 - run into these days says they see no end to their work.  People are
111028 - busy 24 7 trying to find where an email, a fax or a report of some
111029 - kind is stored on the computer, and related on 960406. ref SDS 3 5922
111031 -  ..
111032 - Experience using SDS shows that continual bumbling by management,
111033 - cited by Kissiner, reviewed on 940609, ref SDS 1 4238, means there is
111034 - no end in sight for the work required to prevent mistakes that waste
111035 - time and money because communication has become the biggest risk in
111036 - enterprise.  In other words, every meeting people attend, every phone
111037 - call and every document a manger touches sows the seeds of error that
111038 - increases the demand for more management to perform the rework that
111039 - fixes these mistakes.
