130502 -
130503 - Called John, and he later submitted correspondence on his KM research
130504 - assignment. ref SDS 0 DX5O  Separating "signal" from "noise" takes a
130505 - lot of hard work, ref SDS 0 AQ5H, to discover tools for competitive
130506 - advantage. ref SDS 0 3K5H  John took a class on FAR requirements for
130507 - "documentation" of contracts in program managemnt. ref SDS 0 3K56  SDS
130508 - support for precision access using granular addressability enriches
130509 - "documentation" required by the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR).
130510 - Intelligence adds chronology and context, ref SDS 0 QD9G, that
130511 - "connect the dots" in documents to produce knowledge for getting
130512 - things done quickly and accurately.  John wrote to the company's lead
130513 - KM manager saying that tools for Knowledge Management should improve
130514 - efficiency and productivity to save time and money. ref SDS 0 IT8V  He
130515 - requested references where SDS has been used to save time and money,
130516 - and several were submitted. ref SDS 0 K14G  Current focus is on
130517 - support for the "Network Centric Organization (NCO)" which fits the
130518 - model of intelligence support for organizational memory shown in the
130519 - ASB on SDS. ref SDS 0 P357  The KM manager points out that todate no
130520 - organization has implemented NCO, ref SDS 0 IT5R, partly because
130521 - resistance to sharing information prevents effective collaboration.
130522 - ref SDS 0 IU5Y  This stifles progress toward Knowledge Management
130523 - where expertise is very rare. ref SDS 0 IU3S  As a result, "mentoring"
130524 - is the best KM tool currently supported by the company. ref SDS 0 4V3F
130525 - Marv submits a contact at the company who is advancing KM in the
130526 - company, ref SDS 0 IU5P, and another contact on addressing the human
130527 - factors of KM. ref SDS 0 IU6Y  Submitted feedback letter to John
130528 - letting him know his documents were received and offered initial
130529 - impression of alignment with some discussion points raised today.

130910 -  ..
130911 - During the call, John clarified the purpose of his assignment to
130912 - identify technology that yield competitive advantage by increasing
130913 - productivity of management.  Generally, better management saves lives,
130914 - time, and money.  This scope is implied in John's letter on 060308
130915 - received on 060309 and stating that Phantom Works wants to promote
130916 - Boeing capabilities for program management and business development.

130935 - KM capabilities is one of several projects he has underway.
130936 - ref SDS 0 IU4W
130938 -  ..
130939 - He has received a lot of responses to his inquiry about KM, first
130940 - reported on 060309. ref SDS 48 LN47  John has discovered that KM has
130941 - many "varieties," as set out in POIMS. ref OF 4 2N3L  This presents a
130942 - cognitive overhead problem, because there isn't enough time to study
130943 - many responses, as set out in NWO. ref OF 11 LH6K  This drives
130944 - management toward entropy using stream of conscious ad hoc analysis
130945 - based on cursory understanding due to the "noise" of complexity, cited
130946 - on 970707. ref SDS 16 0108  Evaluation will tend toward the

290608 - contracts under DOD procurement practices.  Yesterday he attended a
290609 - seminar on FAR, and discussed with colleagues the need for better

290611 - cheaper, and more effective.  However, this is not easy to accomplish,

BH0406 -
BH0407 -    6.  The most perfect KM tool so far is mentoring.  In the history
BH0408 -        of humans, mentoring goes so far back that the Bible expects
BH0409 -        that you know what it is and how it works.  Mentoring is a
BH0410 -        process for transfering what has been learned to another person
BH0411 -        in such a way that the other can learn it.  I know that
BH0412 -        "mentoring" is not what PW wants you to come back with...yet,

DH0411 -    1.  It appears you have been asking all around the company...I keep

DH0413 -        you might visit with your management to explore how much does

DH0423 - Would be helpful to see a written company "standard" on KM.  He notes

E50427 -        that I've done some initial research. ref DRT 3 R56M
E50429 -  ..
E50430 - Competitive advantage to "talk intelligently" reflects the purpose of
E50431 - SDS to construct links that "connect the dots" associating cause and
E50432 - effect.  This fits the model of NCO cited in John's letter today to
E50433 - Marv, ref SDS 0 IT5V, and yields "knowledge" from learning refined by
E50434 - experience.  John's pause from 060223 until today permitted research
E50435 - and study to "be prepared" for conducting an effective telecon with
E50436 - Marv.  SDS is designed to make this "Knowledge Management" work
E50437 - faster, better, and cheaper, i.e., more efficient and productive, as
E50438 - related on 950327. ref SDS 8 8822
E50440 -  ..
E50441 - Research on 000307 found that the scope of "NCO" presented by John in
E50442 - his letter on 060317 (see again, ref SDS 0 IT5V) is what some folks
E50443 - call "Knowlege Management" and is a lot of hard work using

GO0517 -    2.  On 030624, I talked to Marv just a bit about SDS.  We largely
GO0518 -        agree on the nebulousness of KM, per se, just because the term
GO0519 -        has become solely marketing hype.  I also agree that
GO0520 -        transformation from what folks are doing now using IT that is
GO0521 -        familiar and comfortable, to something more robust like SDS
GO0522 -        presents a cultural challenge.  It was a big challenge to
GO0523 -        switch from direct current to alternating current in the 1890s.
GO0524 -        It was an even bigger switch from orality to literacy in 400
GO0525 -        BC.  But it was worth it, even though everybody resisted in the
GO0526 -        beginning. ref DIT 2 G17T

GO0529 -    3.  Your inclination to focus on something narrow like "contract
GO0530 -        management" to implement DOD requirements for "documentation,"
GO0531 -        offers a path to test out cost savings and acceptability.  If
GO0532 -        you save the government and Boeing a lot of money, then people
GO0533 -        will accept it. ref DIT 2 G18U

GO0536 -    4.  Just for fun, here are a couple of letters from government
GO0537 -        managers who have worked with SDS and comment on "cultural
GO0538 -        acceptability", ref DIT 2 G19R (note SDS is the tool for
GO0539 -        performing Com Metrics). ref DRP 4 5543
