521203 - Collaborate with Gary on developing a brief description of SDS for the
521204 - new field in the ASB on the SDS program at Aerospace company.  Revised other
521205 - parts of ASB to fit the new brief description.  Gary submitted the new
521206 - ASB file, which has the edits he and Woody prepared. ref SDS 0 7B8M
521207 - Proposed further edits to create more concise "brief description."

521601 - This morning Gary called and we edited the ASB to provide a "Brief
521602 - Description" based on Woody's suggestion received on 041022,
521603 - ref SDS 27 F18H, and additional ideas developed at that time on

521609 - We also discussed changes to the Description field to support the new
521610 - field for a Brief Description. ref SDS 27 KT8G

521613 - Gary then changed the ASB using access privileges which Woody assigned
521614 - on 041013. ref SDS 25 4Q41
521616 -  ..
521617 - This afternoon received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary transmitting the
521618 - revised ASB that changes the work submitted previously on 040826.
521619 - ref SDS 21 0001
521621 -  ..
521622 - This version shows Gary is the Component Manager, which gives him the
521623 - right to make changes. ref OF 9 OE9O
521625 -  ..
521626 - Gary's letter says...
521627 -
521628 -    1.  Here is our rephrasing or the Brief Description:
521630 -         ..
521631 -    2.  Granular addressability and indexing, with explicit links
521632 -        build connected memory of communication and decisions in
521633 -        meetings, calls, and documents. Multiple user-defined access
521634 -        paths enable precision retrieval, analysis, planning, and
521635 -        collaboration. ref DRT 1 0001
521637 -  ..
521638 - This still seems too wordy.  How about...
521639 -
521640 -        Granular linking and indexing build connected memory for
521641 -        accuracy in meetings, calls, and documents.  Multiple
521642 -        user-defined access provides precision retrieval for discovery,
521643 -        analysis, planning, and collaboration. ref OF 9 Y85G
521644 -
521645 -            [On 041027 Collaboration Board has no interest in SDS.
521646 -            ref SDS 28 4T4K
521648 -  ..
521649 - Change "addressability" to linking, because the latter is a more
521650 - common usage.  Nobody knows about "explicit links" so eliminate that
521651 - -- ASB mentions them, but it seems too technical for a first
521652 - impression sale. Actually, granular addressability and indexing are
521653 - also unknown but giving people two things they don't know may be
521654 - better than listing three things that are unknown.  Added "accuracy"
521655 - for benefit of addressability and indexing.  "Communication" is
521656 - redundant with meetings, calls and docs; the latter is more
521657 - descriptive giving a flavor of a tool used for daily work.  Added
521658 - "discover" to jazz up benefits of precision retrieval.
521660 -  ..
521661 - This implements planning this morning, per above. ref SDS 0 S69N
521663 -  ..
521664 - Gary continues...
521665 -
521666 -    3.  Attached it the ASB page. ref DRT 1 5U6F
521667 -
521668 -
521670 -  ..
521671 - Correct Format Problem
521672 -
521673 - The version from Gary shows a double space between the "Brief
521674 - Description" para and the rest of the Description field.  Review
521675 - shows...
521676 -
521677 -    1.  There is no explicit link on the Brief Description para.  This
521678 -        is probably okay, especially if this is going to be grabbed
521679 -        electronically for use elswhere.
521681 -         ..
521682 -    2.  The Brief Description field can be single spaced above the next
521683 -        para by changing the /P command at the end of the para to a br
521684 -        command, and removing the P command on the next line.  This
521685 -        presents a uniform spacing format.

700908 - The revised ASB received today from Gary shows the change developed in
700909 - the telecon between Gary and Woody on 041013 that enables pilot
700910 - testing SDS based on limited deployment - product statement of
700911 - direction, ref SDS 25 SE6F, which was discussed with Woody earlier on
700912 - 041004. ref SDS 24 TY66
700914 -  ..
700915 - This morning, Gary discussed revising the scope for applying SDS,
700916 - based on recent analysis of work roles, per Gary's letter to Gil on
700917 - 041020, ref SDS 26 8X9H, citing the telecon with Woody on 041013.
700918 - ref SDS 25 WV5J
700920 -  ..
700921 - At that time on 041013 Woody proposed refined targeting for the
700922 - Audience field in the ASB form. ref SDS 25 SE9O  This field was
700923 - developed on 040720, ref SDS 17 EH8T, and currently says...
700924 -
700925 -        Executive and legal support, operations, projects, teams, and
700926 -        meetings are typical consumers of "intelligence" for planning,
700927 -        progress and action item review, collaboration, decision
700928 -        support, case studies, root cause analysis
700929 -        and lessons learned. ref OF 8 WA9F
700931 -  ..
700932 - These applications are supported by recent analysis on 041013 listing
700933 - roles where SDS can be used, ref SDS 25 WV5J, based on the history of
700934 - SDS use cases shown in the record on 020708. ref SDS 13 MZ6O
700936 -  ..
700937 - However, to close off an action item and demonstrate "listening" on
700938 - 041013, ref SDS 25 SE9O, we might try...
700939 -
700940 -        Projects, teams, and meetings use SDS "intelligence" for
700941 -        research, planning, action item review, collaboration, decision
700942 -        support, case studies, root cause analysis and lessons learned.
700943 -        Contract and claims management use work history and connections

700952 -
700953 - This reflects recent discussions about overcoming the overwhelming
700954 - tendency to use bad management, defined in POIMS, ref OF 1 MQ6J, by
700955 - improving "internal" management, but equally overwhelming desire to
700956 - use SDS only on "external" management, so that people are unfettered
700957 - in using bad management, noted by Jack Park on 010908, ref SDS 11 UV4H,
700958 - and illustrated by a case study showing a long record of lessons
