161005 - disallusionment from failure to meet demand for technology that
161006 - improves management, evidenced by failure of mainstream vendors to

161008 - Cliff today. ref SDS 0 2205  SDS has elements of an effective
161009 - solution, based on extended study of traditonal management processes.
161010 - ref SDS 0 3780  Semotics has focused attention on using technology to
161011 - integrate communication, meaning and inference which strengthen

161805 - Cliff's objectives for reviewing SDS are set out in his letter,
161806 - ref DRP 1 0001, received on 000502. ref SDS 39 6218
161808 -  ..
161809 - Cliff noted that "Knowledge Management" has begun to fall out of favor
161810 - the past few years for describing the goal of using technology to
161811 - improve management.
161812 -
161813 -     This reflects difficulty people have defining a useful distinction
161814 -     between IT and KM for creating tools that improve people's work
161815 -     and lives, evidenced by SRI's DKR team on 000615. ref SDS 47 6271
161816 -     Previously on 980226 IBM's initiative on Business Intelligence,
161817 -     also, failed to add value. ref SDS 21 2716
161819 -      ..
161820 -     Cliff feels KM is useful as a mental pointer to for discussing
161821 -     efforts to use technology for improving management. He mentinoed
161822 -     large scale KM efforts in business and government are striving to
161823 -     process a lot of documents.  People are struggeling to figure out
161824 -     how to identify subjects based on text strings, e.g., cocain
161825 -     smuggeling, might be in a document filed away in the Justice
161826 -     Department somewhere.  So what?  How should such a document be
161827 -     linked or identified in relation to anything else?
161828 -
161829 -        [On 010126 Cliff submits paper on KM, recommend he explain how
161830 -        KM differs from IT and provide theory of knowledge. ref SDS 80
161831 -        I55F
161833 -      ..
161834 -     We reviewed discussion on 000713 where Cliff asked about the
161835 -     difference between information and knowledge.  This distinction
161836 -     provides a basis for technology development. ref SDS 57 4480
161837 -     ..
161838 -     Until and unless work along this path procedes, there will
161839 -     be no progress in KM, and no progress in productivity of
161840 -     "knowledge work," including management, based on Drucker's
161841 -     explanation of "productivity" as the quality of decisions,
161842 -     reviewed on 931130. ref SDS 6 2134  Since decisions are based on
161843 -     causation, some method that helps people understand that factor is
161844 -     the only way to improve productivity of daily management.

161849 - SDS Solves Management Problem of the Ages

161867 -        item-control catalogs, etc.  And before it can sensibly be of
161868 -        much value, we believe that a Workshop has to provide for the
161869 -        grubby cut-and-dry detail involved in the minute-by-minute,
161870 -        day-after-day worker's handling of this information: in its

210402 - KM Needed for Killer Application to Sustain Computer Industry
210403 - Killer Application Needed to Sustain Computer Industry, KM Candidate
210404 -
210405 - Intel recognized in 1991 that, if computers could improve management,
210406 - this significantly expands the market for computers, because everyone
210407 - wants to improve productivity, earnings and stock prices, as reported
210408 - on 950927. ref SDS 13 8943  The goal at that time was summarized as a
210409 - "paperless office," and was viewed by analysts as an essential "killer
210410 - application" to sustain the computer industry, reported on 951022,
210411 - ref SDS 14 6565, and again on 960117. ref SDS 15 5840
210413 -  ..
210414 - Marketing experts came up with names like Business Intelligence and
210415 - Knowledge Management to presage the dawn of advanced capability, but
210416 - no one explained how these names improve Information Technology (IT),
210417 - which therefore rendered the new names mere marketing ploys, as
210418 - reviewed on 980226. ref SDS 21 2716
210420 -  ..
210421 - However, 4 years after announcing in 1991 that Intel planned to use
210422 - computers for improving management, in 1995 Intel had not found a way
210423 - to accomplish this objective.  Dave, like managers everywhere, was
210424 - forced to give up on technology and return to manual methods that are
210425 - fast and flexible for jotting down key information to expedite and
210426 - save money. ref SDS 13 7732
210428 -  ..
210429 - Since Intel still needs a strategy to increase computer sales in order
210430 - to maintain earnings, on 970603 Intel planned to promote computers for
210431 - playing games, since no one was able to figure out to make computers
210432 - improve daily work. ref SDS 19 4486  At that time a pilot test was
210433 - discussed to demonstrate using computers for improving management.
210434 - ref SDS 19 5803  Action items were set for a contract to provide Com
210435 - Metrics, ref SDS 19 LQ5J, but Dave's boss wanted to wait to improve
210436 - management, until after the project showed value to clients, reported
210437 - on 971126. ref SDS 20 1942

210444 - Cliff showed the manual notebook he uses for daily management.
210446 -  ..
210447 - Ten (10) years after Intel's plan to automate management, per above,
210448 - ref SDS 0 Y39L, Cliff, like Dave, has developed a variety of manual
210449 - ways to organize information in his notebook that remind him about
210450 - work that needs attention, also, per above. ref SDS 0 A35G  Cliff
210451 - noted a key feature is efficient summarizing that avoids getting mixed
210452 - up by a lot of details. Analysis and alignment are accomplished in his
210453 - head, and details are stored in his computer and filing cabinets at
210454 - the office.
210456 -  ..
210457 - Cliff related today that he explains to staff members his way of
210458 - managing daily working information, but does not insist that anyone
210459 - adopt his procedures.  Everyone is responsible for handling daily
210460 - working information in ways that are comfortable for them.
210462 -  ..
210463 - On 000706 Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft, attributes market success to
210464 - better transfer of information between email, Outlook, Word, Excell,
210465 - etc. ref SDS 53 3740  This helps clerks and admin staff do better
210466 - work.
210468 -  ..
210469 - On 000709 review showed that "organization" is missing from the
210470 - mainstream technology Balmer references, and inquiry revealed this
210471 - shows that improving management requires integrating time and
210472 - information to track chronologies of cause and effect based on
210473 - context. ref SDS 54 1029
210475 -  ..
210476 - Peter Drucker's article in Atlantic Monthly reviewed on 991025, says

290854 - like a lot of people are spending a lot of money and hours working on
290855 - this objective.  Cliff indicated he feels something is missing from

451320 - SDS proposes that Knowledge Management requires integrating enterprise
451321 - management with handling daily working information, per POIMS,
451322 - ref OF 2 6221, that requires a foundational breakthrough technology of
451323 - the same weight and durability as alphabet technology, which has been
451324 - the core engine of technology the past 2000 years.
451326 -  ..
451327 - SDS design is counterintuitive.  A period for "forced" attention to
451328 - create a critical mass of awareness about the benefit of adding
451329 - "intelligence" to information may be needed per proposal to NSF on
451330 - 000615. ref SDS 25 2808

451351 - He explained that SDS supports knowledge work, or thinking, that is
451352 - several levels removed from issues that occupy the attention of
451353 - executives and engineers in performing daily work, evidenced by the
451354 - fact that there is no tradition outside of the military for an
451355 - "intelligence" role, per POIMS, ref OF 2 5820, it is hard to explain
451356 - the urgency of this work.

451359 - He plans to give this some thought.
451361 -  ..
451362 - A contortium could be formed by LANL, SRI, maybe Intel, IBM, HP, and
451363 - other organizations, to compliment the work of W3C in setting
451364 - standards for the web.  W3C directs technology toward universal
451365 - empowerment, i.e., pluralism, in the formulation of information.  The
451366 - explosion of information, however, gives rise to the need for a
451367 - balancing effort to convert information into useful knowledge.  A
451368 - consortium for Knowledge Management would establish standards for a
451369 - core engine of knowledge, as the foundation of Enterprise Management,

651209 -      If KM technology is used to leverage human thinking, as set out
651210 -      above, ref SDS 0 1312, then thinking will need to be stored on
651211 -      computers, and this gives rise to demand for secrecy measures.
651213 -       ..
651214 -      How will that work?  Some situations require secrecy and people
651215 -      worry about discovery in litigation, per telecon on 991021.

651221 -      we sent the figures for space ship based on the correct units of
651222 -      measure, and to develop a DKR system?  Not every activity needs a
651223 -      lot of secrecy.  Indeed, open source development, which everyone
651224 -      seems to embrace, avers secrecy.  So there is a balance that
651225 -      needs to be found.
