0706 - Summary/Objective
0707 -
070701 - Follow up ref SDS 18 0000, ref SDS 17 0000.

0710 - Progress
0711 -
071101 - Now that we seem to have a simple Home page, began thinking about
071102 - subsidiary web pages to explain ideas in Home page.
071103 -
071104 - Each subsidiary page will have at the bottom:
071105 -
071106 -
071107 -        Home page | Previous page
071108 -
071109 - We do not want a "next" page, because each page can have multiple
071110 - different "next" pages.
071111 -
071112 -
071113 - We have a page now with a Welch header.  I think it was created by
071114 - Bill DeHart using Frontpage Editor during the meeting on 980405. see
071115 - ref SDS 5 0894

071117 -
071118 -
071119 -  ..
071120 - POIMS Technology Integrates People, Process, Time
071121 -
071122 - Maybe the thing to do is to let the next level be POIMS technology and
071123 - show that it is the tool that facilitates the integration that is
071124 - essential for good management.
071125 -
071126 -
071127 -       ..
071128 -      People Web Page
071129 -
071130 -      Explains people are the objective of civilization, and the key
071131 -      tools of management that are exercised through communication that
071132 -      is aimed at achieving successful communities.
071133 -
071134 -      This page will explain limited span of attention and
071135 -
071136 -      People Have Limited Time and Unique Experience
071137 -
071138 -      We need a technology that advances the alphabet for making
071139 -      connections.  The technology must offer a standardized
071140 -      organization and method of positioning knowledge and ideas so
071141 -      that correlations and implications can be quickly drawn and so
071142 -      repetition can empower people to apply good practice
071143 -      consistently.  The SDS record structure does this.
071144 -
071145 -      We need a broader application of "knowledge space."
071146 -
071147 -
071148 -
071149 -       ..
071150 -      Process Web Page
071151 -
071152 -      Processes are the cyclical methods used to "manage" as explained
071153 -      in management standards publications like PMBOK and ISO 9000.
071154 -
071155 -
071156 -
071157 -       ..
071158 -      Time Web Page
071159 -
071160 -      Discuss Drucker's view that "time" is man's most perishable
071161 -      resource.
071162 -
071163 -      It is constantly being expended, eventually runs out for all of
071164 -      us. We are constantly racing to acquire other resources in time
071165 -      to avoid system failures.
071166 -
071167 -
071168 -  ..
071169 - Communication Metrics Integrates Technology and Management Science
071170 -
071171 - This will make the point that good technology is not sufficient to
071172 - improve management.  We need better science and a work role to apply
071173 - the technology and the science consistently in order to get results.
071174 -
071175 -
071176 -
071177 -  ..
071178 - Intelligence
071179 -
071180 - Explain the role of making connections to integrate time and
071181 - information.
071182 -
071183 - The easiest way to grasp the meaning and utility of "intelligence" is
071184 - to use it.  Therefore we will link users to the definition of
071185 - intelligence in the record, particularly on the distinction from
071186 - "documentation" from discussion with Bill on 980405. ref SDS 5 3307

071209 - Appearance, Eliminated Bullets for Key Questions
071210 -
071211 - Follow up ref SDS 18 3792, ref SDS 15 4592.
071212 -
071213 - Decided to eliminate the bullet image for our three (3) questions
071214 - because it is designed for a silver/grey background, and we have
071215 - changed to a gold background for the reasons on 980708. ref SDS 18
071216 - 2973  The bullets selected so far actually have a square image that
071217 - appears round with the right gray scale background, but in our
071218 - background it looks square.
071219 -
071220 - Eliminating the bullets simplifies the screen, per objective on
071221 - 980708. ref SDS 18 4747
071222 -
071223 - If we can find some bullet images that appear round and fit our
071224 - background, may put them back.
071225 -
071226 -    [On 980714 modified the bullets and put them back for the reasons
071227 -    explained at ref SDS 19 0548.]
