351887 - Adam said that the OHS/DKR project should develop a number of
351888 - applications to evaluate the best solution for improving popular IT
351889 - products currently available. Rod Welch was mentioned as having a
351890 - new approach using SDS for performing Knowledge Management. SDS
351891 - was begun in 1983. Implementation led to the science of
351892 - Communication Metrics for routine intelligence support. On 970328
351893 - the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published several reports on
351894 - Communication Metrics. ref DRP 2 6172 The report on 971007 showed

351900 - Hoffman reported that the only Knowledge Management methodology SRI
351901 - has discovered is Doug Engelbart's work in the 1960s, which is no
351902 - longer in use. Having a working Knowledge Management system could
351903 - be helpful for learning to develop tools that advance from

351922 - Adam indicated a lot of "reporting" would be "managed" by the DKR
351923 - to produce useful "knowledge." It was unclear who would produce
351924 - the "reports," particularly in light of the record on 990525
351925 - showing that engineers don't like to write, ref SDS 12 0966, and on

351935 - One scenario might be that, if Doug and the DKR team can make
351936 - reading and writing easier and more valuable, then, maybe more
351937 - will be produced by people, who otherwise feel they do not have
351938 - enough time for analysis, as reported on 970910. ref SDS 7 3479
351939 - Since literacy is the core capability of civilization, see on

351941 - bit.

351944 - There was consideration of producing a new browser, but it sounded

351947 - derivative tools, which the project is considering to improve

351949 - Doug, reviewed on 000327. ref SDS 46 3971 This raises several
351950 - issues...
351951 -
351952 - a. Can commercial browsers do this?
351954 - ..
351955 - b. Is there any reason to believe they will not be able to do it
351956 - in a year or so when new tools begin to come online?

352046 - This seems to be a venture into the software business, except
352047 - it will be open source, and so any useful breakthroughs will be
352048 - given away. The incentive to produce breakthroughs is to help
352049 - mankind, and to obtain reciprocal help from advances provided
352050 - by others, who will likewise give away the value added. There
352051 - was no discussion today about how to ensure reciprocal conduct.
352052 - Accounting for value added has not yet been addressed. Suppose
352053 - someone spends 5 years and discovers something of moderate
352054 - value. Someone else spends 10 minutes and notices that
352055 - rearranging things a bit adds much greater value. How does

420763 - fairly quickly grasp and apply; then adding further features. This

551315 - Following the meeting, I walked past Pat Lincoln sitting in the back

551317 - volunteering to help launch Doug's OHS/DKR project?

551320 - We briefly reviewed experience the past 10 years or so showing that

551322 - done part-time. Developing SDS and Com Metrics, cited by Adam Cheyer
551323 - during the meeting today, as demonstrating ability to perform KM,

551334 - Pat asked how well KM pays?
551336 - ..
551337 - The US Army Corps of Engineers reported ROI is 10:1. They saved $500K
551338 - with a minimum cost of $50K, and estimated millions of dollars can be
551339 - saved by using Com Metrics more widely. ref DRP 3 0001 PG&E reported
551340 - similar results, showing that doing KM is well worth the effort.
551341 - However, helping people discover that knowledge is more valuable than
551342 - information takes an enormous effort. This educcation task has not
551343 - been very rewarding because we cannot force people to save time and
551344 - money. The record on 981027 shows that only a miracle can help our
551345 - best and brightest save time and money. ref SDS 10 7315

551366 - Jack Park commented that the presentation today is not moving the
551367 - OHS/DKR team toward an effective Knowledge Management solution,
551368 - discussed on 000331. ref SDS 50 4877 Jack suggested that Welch
551369 - provide leadership to improve progress. He wants to approach Doug
551370 - about appointing Welch project manager.
551372 - ..
551373 - We considered the challenge of helping volunteers, who are all experts
551374 - in their field, with limited time to invest learning and understanding
551375 - complicated ideas, and where Doug is an industry giant. Moving too
551376 - fast alienates people, leading to charges of arrogance, reported on
551377 - 000106. ref SDS 19 8712 and ref SDS 19 0877
551379 - ..
551380 - Missing ingredients are resources and authority. This is an ad hoc
551381 - exploratory project launch group. It is not really even a team, yet,
551382 - much less an organization that can be led and managed. The first
551383 - order of business is set up a business environment, as discussed with
551384 - Doug on 000327, ref SDS 46 5402, and per planning in the record of the
