0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - Follow up ref SDS 10 0000, ref SDS 9 0000.
060702 -
060703 - John has viewed Engelbart's Colloquium on 000106, and has discussed
060704 - with Ed Swanstrom at KMCI. He offered suggestions today on developing
060705 - collaboration. John will contact Ed to facilitate my calling about
060706 - Com Metrics. John's work fits the POIMS model of people, process and
060707 - time. I urged him to review POIMS and let me know if the SDS record
060708 - on the Internet appears to deliver useful "intelligence." This
060709 - provides criteria for collaboration.
060710 -
060711 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to this record and to the POIMS paper
060712 - and Doug's paper on CODIAK. ref SDS 7 8064
060713 -

0610 - Discussion
0611 -
061101 - 1. John has not yet read POIMS. ref OF 1 0001
061102 -
061103 - We did not discuss the record for the KMCI meeting on 991217.
061104 - ref SDS 5 0001, submitted with my letter, ref DIP 2 0001, on
061105 - 991220. ref SDS 6 0001
061106 -
061107 - It would be helpful to get John's comments on the utility of
061108 - the SDS record on the Internet. On 991216 John's letter cited
061109 - preliminary approval of SDS methodology, ref DRP 1 0001, based
061110 - on minimal experience. ref SDS 4 6720 Does further experience
061111 - support the first impression, as reported by Dave Vannier at
061112 - Intel on 990907? ref SDS 3 0149
061113 -
061114 - 2. John read the record on 991222 reviewing Doug's paper on CODIAK
061115 - which forms the foundation of the Colloquium. ref SDS 7 5360 He
061116 - mentioned an earlier session in October, and possibly one last
061117 - year which led to the current 10 week program. This shows
061118 - growing awareness of the need for Knowledge Management.
061119 - ..
061120 - John listened to the Colloquium via delayed broadcast
061121 - following the first class on 000106. He cited Doug's strategic
061122 - vision about the big issues facing the world in the coming
061123 - period, which might be summarized as "complexity."
061124 -
061125 - We discussed briefly this afternoon the "New World Order Needs
061126 - Old Time Religion" paper that explains the cause of complexity
061127 - is information overload which leads management to implode.
061128 - ref OF 2 8303
061129 -
061130 - A strategy for solving complexity by enhancing personal and
061131 - organizational capabilities, requires...

061139 - ...explained in the NWO... ref OF 2 4305. SDS provides a
061140 - powerful advance on alphabet technology, ref OF 1 3742, that
061141 - supports a new management process for "intelligence" to meet
061142 - this challenge of new realities. ref OF 1 0582 However, in
061143 - order for technology to have any hope of improving management,
061144 - leadership by people, like Doug and John is essential.
061145 -
061146 - 3. John recognizes need to develop pilot test opportunities cited
061147 - in the letter to John, ref DIP 4 0001, submitted on 991226.
061148 - ref SDS 8 1298, set out in the letter to Doug, ref DIP 1 0001,

061152 -
061153 - John has not done any work with Steve Tennant, but feels he is
061154 - the right place to start.
061155 -
061156 - I will follow up with Steve.
061157 -
061158 - Kaiser, per telecon with Tom on 991213.
061159 -
061160 - Did not discuss Kaiser because we have not heard from them
061161 - for awhile.
061162 -
061163 - PG&E and Intel - did not discuss collaboration on pilot
061164 - testing for these organizations.
061165 -
061166 - NSF -- reviewed briefly response on 991213, and need to explain
061167 - opportunity for leveraging cognition to help people think for
061168 - themselves, rather the AI goal of thinking for people.
061169 - ..
061170 - John advised that Ed Swanstrom, founder and president of
061171 - KMCI...

061178 - Management. John recently provided his notes on Engelbart's
061179 - Colloquium, to Ed, and so will be contacting him to follow up.
061180 -
061181 - Ed's biography shows background in anthropological studies of
061182 - knowledge production, acquisition, and transmission,

061188 - ...which reflects the POIMS concept of tailoring technology to
061189 - augument human cognitive capabilities. ref OF 1 5884 This
061190 - perspective supports Christensen's view of empathic design and
061191 - marketing, reviewed on 990527. ref SDS 2 3034
061192 -
061193 - John feels Ed might support Com Metrics. He will notify Ed
061194 - that I will call him.
061195 -
061196 - [On 000112 John contacted Ed. ref SDS 11 0001]
061197 -
061198 - 4. Collaboration with local KMCI people can develop from "cluster"
061199 - meetings. We reviewed goals for common support discussed at
061200 - the KMCI meeting on 991217, ref SDS 5 0877, and cited in my
061201 - letter to John, ref DIP 2 5695, on 991220. ref SDS 6 0001
061202 -
061203 - John suggests I attend a few sessions of a smaller Bay Area
061204 - KMCI group.
061205 -
061206 - He will let me know when the next meeting will occur.
061207 -
061208 - John's work focuses on people and process. He develops system
061209 - architecture. We reviewed correlation with POIMS that presents
061210 - a model of integrating...

061217 -
061218 - Grove points out that a key attribute of leadership is learning
061219 - which requires study. ref SDS 1 3495
061220 -
061221 - A key question is what to study in the face of information
061222 - overload, cited by Doug in the Colloquium on 000106. Welch
061223 - proposes starting with POIMS, and then assessing the extent to
061224 - which the promise of delivering useful "intelligence" on the
061225 - Internet is met by Welch, as for example in this record. If
061226 - this looks promising, then the forces of change can rally to
061227 - this endeavor.
