Subject:
Offer to Sell SDS for Knowledge Management
Learning to Accomplish KM by Doing KM
Sorry to have taken so long to follow up on
Eric Armstrong's
letter
on May 30 talking about using SDS, if a way could be found to deploy and
support this capability.
.. This issue arises in the larger context of what the OHS/DKR effort is
trying to accomplish. A threshold task is to begin
linking the record,
also, related on May 30, based on
Doug's letter
on October 25, 2000
If we could see a few links here and
there into the record, this would indicate people are ready to get started on
the journey from IT to a culture of knowledge.
.. In your case, this threshold task of
adding links to support
communication has raised concerns.
My sense is that objections come from lack of
experience "playing the music", and so can be repaired by getting behind the
wheel, so to speak; but, if not, SDS is not a good direction for you. SDS is
designed to aid organization and make connections that
augment intelligence,
noted in your letter on September 16, 2001.
Since intelligence is used for everything, SDS
supports a
wide range of tasks,
as shown in the letter a few weeks ago on July
8.
.. Let me know if you want to get started. That would shorten up the 50
year thing you asked about the other day.
