091701 - Communication Methods for Planning
091702 -
091703 - Bill talked to Ahmet at a PMP exam event the other day, about the
091704 - report on our 950608 meeting, ref SDS 3 line 61 submitted via ref DIP
091705 - 1 line 27 with copy to Bill submitted at ref DIP 2 line 25.
091706 -
091707 -    Ahmet said he is comfortable with the SDS reporting method, and
091708 -    seemed to inidicate to Bill that this report satisfies his request
091709 -    for submission of a preliminary Event Program Plan, per ref SDS 4

091714 - Event Program Plan
091715 -
091716 - Bill said Ahmet expressed uncertainty about the viability of doing all
091717 - events on a single theme.  This idea was agreed upon during the 950608
091718 - meeting ref SDS 2 line 72, and was presented by Ahmet in a written
091719 - proposal to the PMI Board at ref SDS 3 line 197.
091720 -
091721 - I asked if Ahmet indicated that someone on the PMI Board has objected
091722 - to having a series of coordinated events on communications.  Bill said
091723 - that was not his impression from his discussion with Ahmet; rather
091724 - Ahmet has had further thoughts since our 950608 meeting, submitting
091725 - his recommendations to the PMI Board.
091726 -
091727 - Bill and I considered procedures for incorporating additional ideas
091728 - into the Event Program Plan.
091729 -
091730 - We need Ahmet and others to submit their ideas, explaining concept,
091731 - objectives and integration into the existing plan.  This is why we
091732 - want to meet with Ahmet and the other members of the Event Program
091733 - Planning team, before the next Board meeting on 950712, as explained
091734 - in my letter to Bill at ref DIP 2 line 28 issued at ref SDS 3 line 65.
091735 -
091736 -      Comment
091737 -
091738 -      Virtually everything in management is "communications" of some
091739 -      kind, so we have flexibility with respect to accodomating other
091740 -      issues.  As well, it is not necessary to cast everything in stone
091741 -      at this time.  We can adopt preliminary goals with an understand-
091742 -      ing that scope and content can change as better ideas come along.
091743 -      Of course at some point we have to nail down an agenda of each
091744 -      event.
091745 -
091746 -      Our original point was that "Communication" cannot be explained
091747 -      or improved in a single event or even several events, and so a
091748 -      series of coordinated events is appropriate, ref SDS 2 line 182.
091749 -      Again, however, this is definitional.
091750 -
091751 -      We need Ahmet's ideas and those of others to see how to structure
091752 -      the sequence of events.
091753 -
091754 -
091755 - Bill suggested I call Ahmet for clarification.
091756 -
091757 -      [Did this at ref SDS 7 line 58.]
091758 -
091759 -      [See further follow up at ref SDS 8 line 128.]

120502 -
120503 - Bill said he has started a CPM for the progarm per my letter ref DIP 2

120511 - Bill wants to move our meeting set for tomorrow to next Thursday at
120512 - 1000.  I agreed.  We will meet at his house.
120513 -
120514 -     My only concern is to have enough time for everyone to develop
120515 -     input in time to develop adequate preliminary plans to support
120516 -     advertizing decisions needed in July for the Nov event, per
120517 -     discussion with the PMI Board at ref SDS 3 line 204.

120522 - We need to review the SI for comprehension and scope to make sure it
120523 - is not too complex.
120524 -
120525 - I guess this is why we are doing events to improve the professional
120526 - competence of "communications."

150601 - Post Asilimar Event
150602 -
150603 - I mentioned the prospect of doing a regional meeting with PMI SCC and
150604 - NCC at Rancho Bernardo, per analysis at ref SDS 6 line 34, and further
150605 - at ref SDS 6 line 75.
150606 -
150607 - Bill feels a combination business and social event is a possibility in
150608 - light of the PMI pic nic and other purely social events.  He wonders
150609 - about having it in September, since the next month is PMI National.
150610 - August might work then, because it would be 2 months after Asilomar.
150611 -
150612 - We can review these ideas for Rancho Bernardo when we meet on
150613 - Thursday.
