0812 - Discussion
0813 -
081301 - Left voice mail asking Denis for input on architects getting adequate
081302 - design people, per discussion with Mark on the Turner project for
081303 - PeopleSoft, ref SDS 6 line 145.
081304 -
081305 - Denis called back.
081306 -
081307 - I mentioned discussions with Turner on using Communication Metrics for
081308 - its project in Plesanton.
081309 -
081310 - Denis said he read my letter on 970904, asking about setting up a
081311 - meeting with SFIA management, ref DIP 4 0000, per ref SDS 4 0000.
081312 -
081313 - We did not discuss these points today.
081314 -
081315 - Denis said he saw Tom Keesling's recommendation to use Communication
081316 - Metrics for design support, per ref DIP 4 9044.
081317 -
081318 - We discussed availability of hiring more architects, and Denis' view
081319 - of co-location to expedite submittal review and completion of
081320 - drawings, per ref SDS 6 9046.
081321 -
081322 -    Denis said co-location is a viable approach for fast-track
081323 -    projects, but it is not a complete solution because a lot of
081324 -    decisions entail design consultants, and these can continue to be
081325 -    difficult to manage during a building boom period, as now.
081326 -
081327 - I mentioned Turner's difficulty at SFIA where they have changed
081328 - Project Managers three (3) times, ref SDS 6 line 417.
081329 -
081330 -    Denis advised that Kwan Henmi has had better luck.  He said some of
081331 -    the projects on the terminal are very complicated and so are
081332 -    difficult.  Kwan Henmi's projects are not connected to the terminal
081333 -    and so are not as complicated.
081334 -
081335 - I did not mention the idea of using Communication Metrics for:
081336 - Partnering management ref SDS 2 1197, which Denis has been using on a
081337 - project at Cal, ref SDS 1 7499, per ref DIP 4 9499.
081338 -
081339 - We discussed briefly the article on Communication to Win People Over
081340 - needing feedback, ref OF 6 9472, and that people do not have time to
081341 - think. ref OF 6 3778
081342 -
081343 - I explained the correlation with the article Dale Ames sent from
081344 - Computerworld on Information Technology is not improving productivity,
081345 - ref OF 4 4972, and CEOs are being misled about it. ref OF 4 2149
081346 -
081347 - Denis asked me to send him the articles via Internet.
