800617 - 000116. ref SDS 46 5063 Employment ads for CEOs, accountants,
800618 - engineers, secretaries, clean up people, all require "excellent
800619 - communication skills." This turns out to mean a "fast talker"
800620 - who can get people to say "yes." University and executive
800621 - training provide powerful methods for getting people to say
800622 - "yes" through convincing speech, presence and props.

800652 - communication is the biggest risk in enterprise

800657 - 000106. ref SDS 43 5120
800659 - ..
800660 - Meaning drift occurs because "knowledge" is fluid, in constant
800661 - flux under pressure by information from meetings, calls, email,
800662 - movies, radio, and so on. The mind is constantly creating and
800663 - adjusting connections of cause and effect, through "recoding"

800665 - cognitive science, reported on 990303. ref SDS 22 2838

800671 - ..
800672 - If information comes too fast, the resulting "noise" makes
800673 - truth a moving target because the mind makes the wrong
800674 - connections, and may change the right ones, causing the
800675 - phenomenon of false knowledge: things we are certain are true,
800676 - but are false. We need, therefore, a "metric" for
800677 - communication that regularly discovers connections the mind has
800678 - created, analyses them in relation to history and sources,
800679 - discards wrong ones, adds right ones, and stabalizes
800680 - connections to maintain useful knowledge, a process commonly
800681 - called maintaining alignment. ISO criteria calls this process
800682 - traceability to original sources, reviewed on 950721.

800686 - Maintaining the "garden of knowledge" requires special tools

800689 - ..
800690 - SDS technology accomplishes alignment, but the resulting work
800691 - product showing connections of cause and effect appears
800692 - overwhelming, at least in the beginning, see for example this
800693 - record. People are not used to encountering a lot of
800694 - connections because the "intelligence" process is hidden from
800695 - the conscious span of attention by the subsconsious mind, as
800696 - explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 8774 Some people find the
800697 - opportunity to instantly access background and sources helpful,
800698 - even "pretty neat and cool" as reported on 981104. ref SDS 20
800699 - 4320 Other people are drawn to follow every connection, rather
800700 - than those that are relevant to immediate needs, and soon find
800701 - it is impossible because, as in the human mind, connections go
800702 - forever. This leads people to withdraw and demand to be
800703 - shielded from responsibility of knowledge, reviewed on 991014,
800704 - ref SDS 34 3066, due, as well, to the fear of accountability,
800705 - set out on 980405. ref SDS 18 5065 Greek mythology presents
800706 - these age old fears through the legend of Prometheus and
800707 - Pandora's Box, see on 991108. ref SDS 36 5810 They reflect the
800708 - problem of "scale" Doug Engelbart explains in his 1992 paper on
800709 - Groupware, reviewed on 991222. ref SDS 39 1596

800716 - may be accomodated as people get used to a higher level of
800717 - knowledge. ref SDS 54 2940]
800719 - ..
800720 - Augumenting collaboration requires building and maintaining
800721 - shared meaning. This can be done with technology, as part of
800722 - alignment, but it necessarily entails constant exposure to
800723 - errors and fixing small mistakes before they grow out of hand.
800724 - This, too, is psychologically burdensome, and so likely
800725 - requires a dedicated person, similar to accountants, who spend
800726 - a lot of time fixing things that are a penny out of alignment.
800727 - Not everyone has the personality to do this work.
800729 - ..
800730 - Feedback is another augmenting process that is socially averred
800731 - and politically anathma. It is also essential for useful
800732 - intelligence. This is mainly a learning and leadership issue.
800733 - Leadership needs to learn they are better off getting through a
800734 - lot of little questions early, in order to avoid troublesome
800735 - ones later, after the cover up unravels. They need to then
800736 - pass this learning along to staff, so that information that
800737 - appears conflcting in the record is not an occassion for fear
800738 - and reprisal, but merely for correction.
800740 - ..
800741 - Thus, merely augmenting mental capability with better tools is
800742 - not enough. We need support for the human side of management.
