1310 - Summary/Objective
1311 -
131101 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0000.
131102 -
131103 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 a few days ago, which is a copy of a letter
131104 - from Jack Park to Rod, asking me for the "story" on using SDS at the
131105 - aerospace company last year, ref DRT 1 Q76G, which has been reported
131106 - in Rod's record on 040102. ref SDS 5 0001  In a post script, Jack
131107 - discusses preparing some slides for a presentation at SRI on the
131108 - paradigm of SDS, and mentions illustrating the technology in action.
131109 - ref DRT 1 LW7M
131111 -  ..
131112 - Background is in Rod's record on 040221. ref SDS 8 0001
131113 -
131114 -    Jack has familiarity with SDS and Com Metrics from working with Rod
131115 -    on Doug Engelbart's OHS/DKR project at SRI, mostly in 2000.
131116 -    ref SDS 8 FF6W
131118 -  ..
131119 - Jack asks about blogging records on the combat improvement project for
131120 - DOD. ref DRT 1 Q76G  Since this is classified work, we cannot support
131121 - a request for access to these records on the Internet.  Rod notes on
131122 - 040221 that some of my records that only discuss SDS, and not the
131123 - project, could be refereneced on the Internet for blogging.
131124 - ref SDS 8 7V5O  I generally agree; an example is the record on 030413.
131125 - ref SDS 4 0001
131127 -  ..
131128 - The past few days began assembling a response.  Since we are in a
131129 - (hopefully) temporary standdown mode using SDS onsite, reported in
131130 - Rod's record on 040116, ref SDS 6 0001, had to use MS Word.  Thought
131131 - this would be fast and easy, because I use Microsoft Office and other
131132 - popular information technology approved for use on aerospace project
131133 - work, and have 10 years experience with these tools.
131135 -  ..
131136 - Discovered, however, that constructing SDS standard work product that
131137 - "connects the dots" to relevant background, expands span of attention
131138 - and makes verification fast and easy, is nearly impossible using
131139 - information technology.  It was an extremely painful experience that
131140 - took hours and hours, including trying to get it into Outlook and then
131141 - out the door to Jack.  Reminds of Ray Ozzi's report that people are
131142 - feeling "pain" trying to use information technology for knowledge
131143 - management, reviewed in Rod's record on 020822. ref SDS 3 Q99G
131145 -  ..
131146 - Prepared ref DIT 1 0001 responding to Jack Park's letter.
131148 -  ..
131149 - Key points...
131150 -
131151 -       Jack and others can review Rod's record on 040102, ref SDS 5
131152 -       0001, for progress using SDS year on the aerospace combat
131153 -       improvement project. ref DIT 1 1Y8J
131155 -        ..
131156 -       Cannot promise there will be time to prepare slides for a
131157 -       presentation at SRI on the SDS paradigm, as Jack asks,
131158 -       ref DIT 1 813U, nor that the aerospace company will approve,
131159 -       since this is a classified project. ref DIT 1 AM8I
131161 -        ..
131162 -       SDS records on the combat improvemenet project are not available
131163 -       on the Internet for blogging, ref DIT 1 AM8I, but might be
131164 -       possilbe for SRI to get access based on participation in the
131165 -       project. ref DIT 1 UW9F
131167 -        ..
131168 -       If possible, a presentation on using SDS for the 8 steps of Com
131169 -       Metrics, ref DIT 1 01XR, could follow up on Cliff Joslyn's visit
131170 -       to SRI on 000727 when he explained the mathematics of SDS.
131171 -       ref SDS 2 3960  There is a pending action item on this, so SRI
131172 -       will feel good hearing about how to track action items for
131173 -       getting things done, which seems to be a universal problem based
131174 -       on experience last year on the combat improvement project for
131175 -       DOD.
131177 -        ..
131178 -       Rod's review of background on 040221, ref SDS 8 8G6H, shows a
131179 -       number of people could make a presentation on the experience of
131180 -       using SDS work product for "intelligence," so point this out for
131181 -       Jack, ref DIT 1 ZR5W, and mention his original idea for a
131182 -       3-layer architecture that was applied at the aerospace company,
131183 -       and which Jack presented at SRI along with Mary Keeler, shown in
131184 -       Rod's record on 000518. ref SDS 1 8439

131501 - Called Rod and we reviewed the letter.
131503 -  ..
131504 - Decided to add a post script for orientation, ref DIT 1 00W2, that
131505 - illustrates SDS in action, as Jack requests, by citing the challenge
131506 - of doing knowledge management with information tools. ref SDS 0 OC4R
131508 -  ..

131515 -         ..
131516 -        Paul Lowe cited for possible presentation, and has supported
131517 -        SDS use o the job.

131520 -        Jerry Nord is working on using SDS at CSG.
