1108 - Summary/Objective
1109 -
110901 - Follow up ref SDS 47 0000, ref SDS 44 0000.
110902 -
110903 - Morris has now read my letter to Dave, ref DIP 12 0001, sent on
110904 - 990906, ref SDS 44 9055; and he has read Dave's letter, ref DRP 10
110905 - 0001, received on 990907. ref SDS 46 0001.  He, also, saw my response
110906 - to Dave, ref DIP 13 0001, on 990909. ref SDS 48 0001
110907 - ..
110908 - He has not talked to Dave.
110909 -
110910 - He is willing to meet with Dave to review issues for using Com Metrics
110911 - to support Dave's new assignment, per Dave's letter, ref DRP 10 6923,
110912 - and planning on 990802. ref SDS 32 6396
110913 -
110914 - Key issues are...
110915 -
110916 -      1.  Confidentiality
110917 -
110918 -      2.  Budgets
110919 -
110920 - Morris thinks a good to way to present Com Metrics is for supporting
110921 - "program management."
110922 -
110923 -     [On 990912 Morris will call Dave on this. ref SDS 49 4410]
110924 -
110925 - He cited difficulty explaining need for Com Metrics because superiors
110926 - accuse those advancing the proposal of being incompetent, if they
110927 - suggest improving earnings by adding business "metrics" to
110928 - communication to supplement cost and schedule control.
110929 -
110930 - We reviewed the need for better communication cited by Henry
110931 - Kissinger, reviewed on 940609, who characterizes "management" as an
110932 - "Alice in Wonderland" environment because of reliance on dialog and
110933 - documents that get disconnected over time. ref SDS 4 4238   On 960205
110934 - published study showed managers waste 70% of day in meetings,
110935 - ref SDS 10 5222, confirming Kissinger's characterization.  On 980307
110936 - Andy Grove says managers need to take copious notes of meetings,
110937 - ref SDS 16 3668, but recognizes a new reality of the 21st century is
110938 - that time is very limited. ref SDS 16 1722   On 990625 article in
110939 - Fortune reports study showing that executives are not following
110940 - Grove's advice to take copious notes. ref SDS 24 1024
110941 -
110942 - Communication Metrics uses a new work role to use new tools and aligns
110943 - with Intel's goals to use technology and the Internet for improving
110944 - management, as noted in Dave's letter on 990422. ref SDS 20 8400
110945 -
110946 - I noted again that the best way to explain Com Metrics on the Internet
110947 - is to send someone an email, with a link to web mail, suggested in the
110948 - letter to Dave on 990909, ref SDS 48 3128, and discussed with Morris
110949 - on 990718. ref SDS 28 8966
110950 -
110951 - It is also a help if a presentation is done by more than one person,
110952 - because in explaining new ideas, someone else can help keep the
110953 - discussion on point.
110954 -
110955 - Morris asked how many people have grasped ideas in the New World
110956 - Order... paper? ref OF 4  This is the first time in about five years
110957 - that Morris has asked about the NWO... paper.  We last discussed it on
110958 - 950822. ref SDS 6 0001
110959 -
110960 -    I did not ask, but assume this reflects my letter to Dave on
110961 -    990909, that links to the explanation of religion, ref DIP 13 1595,
110962 -    in the NWO... paper. ref OF 4 5650  A copy was sent to Morris, so
110963 -    he may have read the explanation of "religion" at that link.
110964 -
110965 - I mentioned General Hatch formulated the idea that Communication
110966 - Metrics provides an "intelligence" role, based on reading the NWO
110967 - paper, as set out in the telecon on 951229. ref SDS 9 2036  There is a
110968 - link to this in the letter to Dave, ref DIP 13 1656, which was sent to
110969 - Morris.

110976 -
110977 - Morris said he has had further discussions with Keith following up
110978 - review on 990718. ref SDS 28 6384
110979 -
110980 - Keith has indicated Intel needs a business plan in order to evaluate
110981 - the potential of Com Metrics explained in the NSF proposal,
110982 - ref OF 5, which he initially reviewed on 990713. ref SDS 27 2150
110983 -
110984 -    [On 990912 Morris advised this understanding is incorrect.
110985 -    ref SDS 49 9488]
110986 -
110987 - We will meet tomorrow OA 1400 to work on this.
110988 -
