1909 - Summary/Objective
1910 -
191001 - Follow up ref SDS 39 0000. ref SDS 35 0000.
191002 -
191003 - Pat is aware of discussions with Jerry Nord at CSG on an agreement to
191004 - participate in SDS development.  He seemed to indicate this morning
191005 - that he has not reviewed the links with details about progress.
191007 -  ..
191008 - We reviewed Pat's objective to use SDS for supporting meetings with
191009 - SRI's CEO, Curt Carlson, which Pat requested during our meeting on
191010 - 030527. ref SDS 39 QE9O  At that time, Pat anticipated objections by
191011 - SRI's legal department to reaching agreement that requires SRI to
191012 - grant Welch IP rights to any future development in KM. ref SDS 39 5C5S
191014 -  ..
191015 - Today, Pat said he has returned from his trip to Spain, and will have
191016 - some time in the next few weeks to work with SDS, as we discussed
191017 - previously on 030527.  I advised that I want to use arrangements for
191018 - Pat and others at SRI to use SDS similar to those set up for Jerry
191019 - Nord at CSG.
191021 -  ..
191022 - Discussed importance of SRI having a lab doing KM work and doing
191023 - research on KM listed in the draft endorsement, ref OF 11 UQ6V, rather
191024 - than merely being out trying to sell it to others.  Pat seemed to
191025 - agree that having SDS records to demonstrate work product helps
191026 - overcome claims by others that they can support KM.
191028 -  ..
191029 - Pat indicated that his boss has lost confidence in KM, as a result of
191030 - failed initiatives the past few years, cited by Pat during the meeting
191031 - on 030527. ref SDS 39 FS6H  Pat's boss now places greater faith in
191032 - another lab SRI has doing work on artificial intelligence (AI).  We
191033 - reviewed breifly challenges that limit prospects for a breakthrough in
191034 - AI, reviewed on 900303. ref SDS 1 3002
191035 -
191036 -     On 030624 discussions with Aerospace company illustrate challenge of helping
191037 -     people understand knowledge management. ref SDS 40 0001
191039 -  ..
191040 - Lost confidence comes from not having experience doing KM.
191042 -  ..
191043 - We reviewed a number of tasks Pat can do to garner support for an
191044 - agreement between SRI and Welch on Pat and others using SDS, and for a
191045 - KM lab....
191046 -
191047 -    a.  Informally visit with someone in SRI's legal department to
191048 -        consider ways for
191050 -         ..
191051 -    b.  Identify another person or two at SRI in whom the CEO, Curt
191052 -        Carlson has confidence, and work on building a circle of
191053 -        advocates, recommended by Don Rumsfeld at DOD, reviewed on
191054 -        020131. ref SDS 13 6L5K
191056 -         ..
191057 -    c.  Ask for a meeting with Curt where Pat and the other advocates
191058 -        can explain that Curt's prior concern about disclosing
191059 -        confidential information on the Internet was a mistake, as
191060 -        discussed with Pat at SRI during the meeting on 030527.
191061 -
191063 -  ..
191064 - Pat feels he does not have enough time to promote a KM lab at SRI, and
191065 - proposed that someone else at SRI take the lead on this.
191067 -  ..
191068 - We reviewed the problem of not having enough time to set up a KM lab
191069 - in order to accomplish Pat's objective to support the CEO, as he
191070 - explained on 030527, means he would not have time to learn SDS nor to
191071 - use SDS for Com Metrics to support the CEO. If there is no actual need
191072 - that people care about driving demand for better management, which was
191073 - presented on 030527, ref SDS 39 YR5M, then progress cannot occur.
