0814 -
081401 - Peter has made a significant effort.  Apart from quibbles on style
081402 - (e.g., "Information Highway" and "New World Order..., are trite, mis-
081403 - used, bluster), there is an understandable disconnect between Peter's
081404 - experience and the claims of new solutions set out in POIMS.  Since
081405 - he has not seen nor worked with SDS, it is a reach to grasp notions
081406 - like "converting information into knowledge" through the POIMS "man-
081407 - agement cycle," increasing the ability to think, remember and com-
081408 - municate," etc.  He seems to recognize in his transmittal letter that
081409 - these ideas can only be fully substantiated as people gain experience
081410 - in their application, DRT 1 line 39.  He seems to find the article on
081411 - POIMS shows a good grasp of the dynamics of current managment prac-
081412 - tice, even though my solutions are explained inadequately.
081413 -
081414 - Peter's references to other sources which he feels apply various
081415 - POIMS concepts and capability, would be easier to follow if language
081416 - from those sources was set out and some narrative developed to relate
081417 - such sources to POIMS, as is done for example in the review of Peter
081418 - Drucker at ref SDS 4 line 98, Tom Davenport's HBR article on IT at
081419 - ref SDS 5 line 195, or Steven Covey's work at ref SDS 1 line 154.
081420 -
081421 - I'll send some material along to see if Peter can address this
081422 - perspective.
