0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - Followed up work at ref SDS 21 line 50. at ref SDS 12 line 42, and at
060702 - ref SDS 9 line 67. and ref DIP 3 line 30.  Review analysis of
060703 - management from PMI meeting at ref SDS 2 line 187, and about
060704 - "communication metrics," discussed at ref SDS 11 line 141.
060705 -
060706 - David will inquire about presenting SDS at Sun Micro Systems.  He
060707 - will schedule a presentation on communication metrics at his PM class
060708 - in Berkeley.

0610 - Discussion
0611 -
061101 - Gave the Powerpoint POIMS slide show that explains:
061102 -
061103 -     •  POIMS Technology
061104 -     •  SDS implements POIMS
061105 -     •  Communication Metrics is what results from using SDS
061106 -
061107 -
061108 - Reviewed the hardcopy letter to Sackett Design ref DIP 6 line 30, and
061109 - attached memo, ref SDS 23 line 64.
061110 -
061111 -    David asked about the structure of the attached SDS memo.  I gave
061112 -    an overview of the SDS record.
061113 -
061114 -
061115 - Explained SDS, showing the Schedule and how it is linked to the Diary
061116 - (hence:  Schedule Diary System), and how every scheduled task is
061117 - linked to all of the prior chronology that lead up to it, together
061118 - with all applicable documents.
061119 -
061120 - We then examined the SDS record for the letter to Sackett.  Showed how
061121 - the citations within the letter can be accessed on-line to provide
061122 - instant access to information that supports current perspective and
061123 - analysis. This is what is meant by "automated religion" in the
061124 - Powerpoint slideshow.  The modern term is "automated integration."
061125 -
061126 -
061127 - SDS Reports, Subjects
061128 -
061129 - We did several chronological and keyword diary selections, finding
061130 - information in less than a second.
061131 -
061132 - Showed how the SDS Subject Index emulates a "knowledge Tree" to
061133 - reflect the way people naturally "think" about the world.  David
061134 - asked to do a search for the subject:
061135 -
061136 -                        dispute resolution
061137 -
061138 -     We examined about 70,000 records over the past 5 years, and in 5
061139 -     seconds, found three records that included analysis or ideas, law,
061140 -     etc., on dispute resolution.
061141 -

061143 -
061144 - Business Opportunities
061145 -
061146 - Advised I would like present POIMS to Sun Micro Systems for
061147 - consideration as new executive "workstations" to apply Communication
061148 - Metrics, per ref SDS 17 line 65.
061149 -
061150 -    David said our inquiry is timely because Sun is now undergoing a
061151 -    "re-engineering" effort to improve their management.  He feels
061152 -    communication is a critical place to make improvements. David said
061153 -    SMS may be too firmly committed to their program, and so not open
061154 -    to new ideas.  David advised Sun has a management consultant that
061155 -    is supervising the entire effort.
061156 -
061157 -    He will mention SDS, POIMS and communication metrics the next time
061158 -    he talks to them, which expects will be in about 2 weeks.

061162 - Education & Public Awareness
061163 -
061164 - I explained my objective to present Communication Metrics at Berkeley
061165 - UC PM program, business school, management science program, per
061166 - discussion with GWU, ref SDS 22 line 68.
061167 -
061168 -    David thinks this is doable.  He expects I could be invited to
061169 -    give a lecture in the fall.
061170 -
061171 -    I asked about introducing Communication Metrics in the curriculum.
061172 -    He said the last curriculum change was about 7 years ago, so this
061173 -    is not a strong prospect as a means to introduce new ideas at
061174 -    Berkeley.

0805 - Summary/Objective
0806 -
080601 - Followed up discussions with Rosanne at ref SDS 25 line 58.
080602 -
080603 - David said he would support and participate in this event.  His
080604 - expertise in communication and the method he explains, would work
080605 - well.
080606 -
080607 - He said he teaches his class to keep a diary data base of important
080608 - "issues."  David demonstrates this by a computer system he developed
080609 - on a contruction project.  It has a key word retrieval system.
080610 -
080611 - This would work well with the panel that could include Rosanne, Bill
080612 - DeHart.
080613 -
080614 - Sherrill McDonald might be another person to get who believes in the
080615 - benefit of a diary, ref SDS 1 line 135.
080616 -
080617 - Maybe we can Morris to demonstrate the method used at Chips to manage
080618 - their projects.  He explained some kind of powerful system, which
080619 - seems not to be used very much, but it may have some useful features.
