051109 -         ref OF 3 4792, whereas, most of the obligation was incurred
051110 -         under an agreement where UPR was earning 7%.  Not sure if this
051111 -         makes a lot of difference in the overall scheme of things.

051238 -
051239 -     When the year began, there seemed to be potential for progress
051240 -     based on a new report from USACE counsel on 981027 that confirmed
051241 -     reports in 1997 that Communication Metrics improved management and
051242 -     saved money. ref SDS 24 7315  This supported advice of USACE
051243 -     counsel on 961015 to use Com Metrics to complete the Oakland
051244 -     Harbor project. ref SDS 8 6118  It seemed to resolve concern on
051245 -     970624 by District Engineer who disagreed with his counsel, Chief,
051246 -     Deputy Chief, Resident Engineer, Contracting Officer and others
051247 -     who reported Com Metrics saves money. ref SDS 12 7388
051248 -

051250 -     initiative to use Communication Metrics, see 990323. ref SDS 41

051252 -
051253 -     Additionally, HQUSACE in Washington D.C., was asked to review Com
051254 -     Metrics again, following rejection of the District report in
051255 -     October 1997, calculating cost savings from using Com Metrics, as
051256 -     not believable.  On 990105 Jim Lovo reported having issued a

051266 -            which no one has brought to the meeting or recalls
051267 -            correctly?  My guess would be that this has happened more

051287 -             fast and easy, and to avoid literacy with consequent

051299 -     illustrate Communication Metrics. ref SDS 49 4956   He finally
051300 -     described Com Metrics as...
051301 -
051302 -          ...a technique and technology to help improve the
051303 -          effectiveness and efficiency of written communication (e.g.,
051304 -          memos, e-mails, briefings, regulations, MFRs of phone calls,

051309 -     disposed to Communication Metrics, but so far there has been no
051310 -     effort by the agency to take advantage of the opportunity to save
051311 -     money.
051312 -
051313 -     At the District level in San Francisco, Tom Keesling again pushed
051314 -     for approval to use Communication Metrics.  A change in the
051315 -     District Engineer was thought to provide an opportunity to improve
051316 -     management. After a number of meetings and new efforts to prepare
051317 -     an order, the new District Engineer refused to approve the
051318 -     initiative.  In June, Tom Keesling quit the Corps in exasperation.

051325 -     that Communication Metrics is "cutting edge" capability that seems
051326 -     effective, but he is not "totally convinced" it will work.

051334 -     National Science Foundation Proposal
051335 -
051336 -     The major initiative for the year was application for a research grant
051337 -     from the National Science Foundation to advance some aspects of
051338 -     implementing SDS on the Internet.  The application was filed on
051339 -     990616.
051340 -
051341 -     The application provided a basis for obtaining review in marketing
051342 -     efforts.
051343 -     ..
051344 -     Received some favorable reviews...
051345 -
051346 -        On 990424 Dave Vannier, a contact at Intel, reported that SDS on
051347 -        the Internet supports Intel's goals for using technology to
051348 -        support management, and asks "...where to take it from here?"
051349 -
051350 -        On 990527 another contact at Intel cited strong cultural resistance
051351 -        prevents Intel from seriously considering Communication Metrics,
051352 -        due to fear of accountability.
051353 -
051354 -        On 990718 review at Intel for support to implement and develop
051355 -        Communication Metrics based on the NSF proposal, found that adding
051356 -        "intelligence" to management was funny and alien. ref SDS 58 1767
051357 -
051358 -        On 990907 Dave reported that SDS accomplishes goals of POIMS
051359 -        technology, provides self-evident benefits, and offered to support
051360 -        further review at Intel, but then dropped out of sight. ref SDS 63

051363 -        On 000227 SDS was commended to a Colloquium at Stanford on
051364 -        Knowledge Management as the best capability. ref SDS 89 0897
051365 -
051366 -     On 991213 NSF rejected the Welch proposal saying it is needed work,
051367 -     ref SDS 77 0001, but Welch lacks the polish to accomplish the work.

051372 -
051373 -     On 910418 Dave Vannier, an engineer who focuses on marketing, was
051374 -     interviewed by Byte magazine and explained Intel objectives for
051375 -     using technology to improve management, the goal cited in 1994
051376 -     that was not achieved by PMI. ref SDS 0 4617  At that time, Dave
051377 -     reported Intel basically wanted technology to do what SDS does.
051378 -     However, in a meeting on 950927 he advised Intel failed to achieve
051379 -     this objective. ref SDS 5 7732  Over the ensuing years, Dave has
051380 -     remained interested in SDS.  In 1997 he requested permission to
051381 -     use it, and was turned down. ref SDS 11 5803

051387 -     for engineering management. ref SDS 51 0876   On 990525 Intel
051388 -     reported that engineers can't use this support because it requires
051389 -     analysis, and engineers don't like to write. ref SDS 52 0966
051390 -
051391 -     On 990527 strong cultural resistance was cited as preventing use
051392 -     of Communication Metrics to improve management at Intel, and this

051397 -     Kaiser Medical
051398 -
051399 -     On 990625 found that Kaiser Medical has a manual with guidelines
051400 -     for effective communication between doctors and patients.  These
051401 -     guidelines apply commonly recognized methods for good management.

051415 -     ref SDS 68 5727, local clinic staff facilitated contact with
051416 -     Kaiser management to evaluate Communication Metrics.
051417 -
051418 -     On 991028 doctors need communication support to practice medicine
051419 -     as it should be practiced, based on a letter from CEO of Kaiser,

051477 -     This year Knowledge Management has become the new buz word taking
051478 -     the place of MIS, DBMS, LANS, Information Highway, Information
051479 -     Management, Business Intelligence, and so on, reviewed on 980226.

051481 -
051482 -     On 991217 attended seminar sponsored by the Knowledge Management
051483 -     Consortium, International, KMCI.  There were a lot of people who
051484 -     had jobs as Director of Knowledge Management, and they all asked
051485 -     what is Knowledge Management and are there any tools that support
051486 -     the job. ref SDS 79 9030
051487 -
051488 -     On 991222 in a discussion with Doug Engelbart learned he began in
051489 -     the 1950s trying to promote some of the SDS ideas, and is still at
051490 -     it.  Of course Doug benefited from being employed by SRI and doing
051491 -     contracts with DOD to support his work.  In 1992 he published a
051492 -     paper calling for "Intelligence" collection, ref SDS 81 5360, and
051493 -     now this year he has obtained funding to conduct a Colloquium at

051500 -     The Colloquium began on 000106.  This is one of many efforts
051501 -     world-wide searching for a way to use the Internet productively
051502 -     within the framework of Knowledge Management.  At some point all
051503 -     these buz words merge into a single desire to make technology
051504 -     useful for managing.
051505 -
051506 -     On 000120 an online dialog was begun among people attending and
051507 -     contributing to the Colloquium.  I submitted some ideas about the
051508 -     challenge of gaining acceptance, ref SDS 83 2546, and provided
051509 -     guidance on the need for designing capability that integrates time
051510 -     and information, which essentially is an enhancement of the
051511 -     alphabet. ref SDS 83 1250
051512 -
051513 -     On 000208 the leader of the online dialog asked for assistance on
051514 -     the core capability required for knowledge management, and this
051515 -     was submitted. ref SDS 86 0001  Four (4) days later, on 000212 an
051516 -     "innovation" is suddenly proposed, attributed to an insight while
051517 -     driving home from the Colloquium, that related the design ideas

051543 -        At this stage, the effort is ad hoc, and may not have any
051544 -        funding.  Moreover, the group will be after me to explain how
051545 -        SDS works so they can create something useful, and I am not
