0405 - Summary/Objective
0406 -
040601 - Wayne Communication Manager for DNRC
040602 -
040603 - Follow up ref SDS 19 3003.
040604 -
040605 - Explained Wayne's success using SDS at DNRC, ref SDS 19 3003, and how
040606 - this could benefit Morris in using SDS at Chips per our discussion for
040607 - him to use Bill DeHart, ref SDS 5 8804.
040608 -
040609 - Suggested Wayne might be available for a 3 - 6 month trial to see how
040610 - this role would work, since his situation at DNRC will not likely
040611 - improve until the next political cycle.  Earlier I suggested Bill
040612 - DeHart for this role, but Bill is now with PG&E.
040613 - ..
040614 - Morris asked why I think he wants to use SDS?
040615 -
040616 - I explained Morris' favorable analysis of SDS on 910810, and need for
040617 - Communication Metrics, ref SDS 1 7793 and on 911123, ref SDS 3 4930,
040618 - but he was unable to accomplish this benefit because he didn't have
040619 - enough time to learn SDS, ref SDS 2 7420, nor to apply the technology
040620 - he has tried over the years, ref SDS 4 07543. ref SDS 16 0538
040621 -
040622 - We considered the Wetzel's activity in the Mormon church, including
040623 - having two boys on missions, would be conducive to Morris' church
040624 - acitivity.
040625 -
040626 - Morris said Chips is considering a Director of Projects.  He is not
040627 - sure Chips can afford someone to perform Communication Metrics.  I
040628 - explained Wayne would need in the range of $100K+ to make the move
040629 - from Montana.  This investment would greatly improve the chances that
040630 - the Director of Projects and other executives at Chips would be
040631 - successful.
040632 -
040633 - Morris said he does not believe that investing in Communication
040634 - Metrics can improve Chips management.
040635 -
040636 - I mentioned the report on 970328 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
040637 - that found Communication Metrics improves management by providing an
040638 - "intelligence role."  This report was submitted to Morris on 970526.

040641 -     [On 980307 Andy Grove's book "Only the Paranoid Survive" says
040642 -     managers should experiment with new methods to discover the best
040643 -     way to improve management. ref SDS 23 3416]
