120902 -
120903 - Completed ref DIT 1 4362 to Jim Pennypecker at PMI Communications, per
120904 - discussion with Jim at ref SDS 42 line 170.  It shows copy to

120910 - Submitted ref DIT 2 9993 via email to transmit the letter to Jim,
120911 - ref DIT 1 0001, to Jeannette at her home.  Included this record and
120912 - the discussions on NWO paper for information and background,
120913 - responding to Jim's letter ref DRP 2 line 23.  Also included letter

1213 -
121301 - Completed the letter to Jim per our discussion at ref SDS 42 9552.
121302 -
121303 - This effort strives to identify objectives for the Asilomar agenda at
121304 - ref DRP 4 0422, received the other day at ref SDS 55 line 109,
121305 - relative to the NWO paper and recent writings on downsizing which
121306 - seems to be fulfilling the NWO projections of "imploding" management.
121307 -
121309 -  ..
121310 - Communication Metrics Adds Intelligence to Information
121311 -
121312 - Developed correlation between psychologists and lawyers shown in the
121313 - initial Asilomar agenda, ref OF 3 line 130, per discussion with David
121314 - Buoncristiani at ref SDS 45 line 86, and discussion with Morris at ref
121315 - SDS 27 line 613, as aspects of the common "induction" problem
121316 - identified in cognitive science, ref OF 3 line 162, which is implied
121317 - in the NWO paper and reviewed in Tom Landauer's paper on "Plato's
121318 - Problem." ref SDS 40 line 324.  It is omitted from the final agenda,
121319 - so we make the point that executives cannot remember the truth any
121320 - better than anyone else, in the letter to PMI Communications at ref
121321 - DIT 1 line 95.
121323 -  ..
121324 - As a result they need "intelligence" as evidenced by the CIA and other
121325 - agencies who analyse information to make it useful, ref DIT 1 line
121326 - 220.  Technology enables leaders at all levels to add metrics to
121327 - communications in order to obtain intelligence, per meeting with Hank
121328 - Hatch, ref SDS 20 2036 and at ref SDS 54 3229.
121329 -
121330 -       [See analysis of "truth" and inducation at ref SDS 63 line 43,
121331 -       and further on Landauer's paper at ref SDS 65 line 257.]

121335 -       at ref SDS 70 1191.]
121337 -      ..
121338 -     This draws on evidence at ref SDS 13 4355 that organizations are
121339 -     turning to psychologists and "experts" to improve communications.
121340 -        ..
121341 -     Cited need for investing time to be prepared, ref DIT 1 line
121342 -     188, from analysis on "Be Prepared." ref SDS 36 6870 and ref SDS
121343 -     4 8822.
121344 -
121346 -  ..
121347 - Truth is Moving Target, Needs an Ally
121348 -
121349 - Developed "truth needs an ally" ref DIT 1 7662, to correlate with
121350 - Sherrill McDonald's formulation in the Asilomar agenda for Morris of
121351 - "technology as an ally." ref DRP 4 9065
121352 -
121353 - Applied "executive" mindset at ref DIT 1 9849, to use conversation
121354 - because it is fast and easy, and at ref DIT 1 0969, that management
121355 - difficulties arise from others who do not tell the truth, ref SDS 5
121356 - 3920, discussed with Dave Bouncristiani at ref SDS 45 0650, Merrill at
121357 - DEC, ref SDS 23 7006, Morris at Chips, ref SDS 31 2004.  Explained the
121358 - idea that "truth" is a state of mind that needs to be preserved in a
121359 - record so it is possible to tell the truth and there are better
121360 - results to tell. ref DIT 1 0428
121362 -  ..
121363 - Jim Caudle at USA Missile Defense wants to "empower" his teams, see
121364 - ref SDS 27 0400.
121365 -
121366 -      [See follow up for quote from Morris on these points about
121367 -      executive mindset and truth, ref SDS 59 7600.]
121368 -
121369 -      [Followed up with Fluor Daniel on empowerment to tell the truth,
121370 -      ref SDS 61 line 280; detailed analysis at ref SDS 62 line 39.]

121376 -      [See paper for Morris at Asilomar, ref SDS 67 line 217.]
121378 -  ..
121379 - Developed the desire of executives to work by conversation, ref SDS 31
121380 - 2004, and their aversion to reading and writing, ref SDS 41 3845,
121381 - because there isn't enough time to use sound management practices...
121382 - ref DIT 1 0969.  Combined this at ref DIT 1 1176, with Covey's call to
121383 - seek understanding using empathic listening, per ref SDS 1 5903 and
121384 - ref SDS 51 3630, and to keep a daily journal to sharpen mental acuity.
121385 - ref DIT 1 7599, ref SDS 51 3630
121387 -  ..
121388 - Added explanation of Andy Grove, ref SDS 48 3703, and General Vernon
121389 - Walters, ref SDS 54 3229, as examples of Communication
121390 - Managers/Leadership aide, to exemplify the skills and the role of
121391 - performing Communication Metrics. ref DIT 1 6036
121392 -
121393 -      [See follow up seeking quote from Andy Grove, ref SDS 64 5489.]
121395 -  ..
121396 - The saying "haste makes waste" developed recently at ref SDS 42 4562.
121397 -
121398 -     This shows how homilies provide the cultural moorings that anchor
121399 -     each new generation cited in the NWO paper. ref OF 1 line 95.
121400 -  ..
121401 - Applied at ref DIT 1 line 42, articles on reengineering in Wired ref
121402 - SDS 6 line 186, and downsizing in Fortune ref SDS 46 line 71, ref SDS
121403 - 46 line 110, ref SDS 49 line 249, and Pmnetwork, ref SDS 54 line 268,
121404 - and used example of General Hatch being given a notebook computer and
121405 - an email address at Fluor in place of the leadership aide's he had at
121406 - COE, ref SDS 54 line 623, another example is the Columbia Distributing
121407 - story, ref SDS 47 line 94.  Cited managers wasting 70% of day at ref
121408 - DIT 1 line 184, from AP story at ref SDS 28 5222.
121409 -
121410 -     [See follow up on applying Communication Metrics for a better
121411 -     solution, ref SDS 70 4820.]
121413 -  ..
121414 - Applied at ref DIT 1 line 231, Morris' idea that companies downsize in
121415 - order to compete with firms that have a lower cost structure called
121416 - being "lean and mean," ref SDS 33 5040.
121417 -
121418 -     [Morris explained "reengineering" is another word for downsizing
121419 -     at the Asilomar event, ref SDS 68 6588.]
121420 - ..
121421 - Used downsizing as evidence of management "imploding" ref DIT 1
121422 - line 71, because executives are unable to accomplish Drucker's
121423 - explanation of a business to develop productive management talent, ref
121424 - SDS 29 line 329.  This defines imploding and downsizing as a process
121425 - of aligning an organization's management corps with its vision, ideas
121426 - and talent.
121428 -  ..
121429 - Developed correlation between PMBOK and ISO 10006 ref DIT 1 line 169,
121430 - analysed last year at, ref SDS 8 line 70, and per telecon with Jim at
121431 - ref SDS 42 line 249.
121433 -  ..
121434 - Used at ref DIT 1 5933, Hatch's correlation of Communication Metrics
121435 - with "Military Intelligence" process, ref SDS 20 2036, and discussed
121436 - last week on "turning straw into gold." ref SDS 54 7477 This
121437 - integrates the ideas of Johanna Neuman's book, per ref SDS 56 0806,
121438 - received at ref SDS 35 9405, at ref DIT 1 7466.
121440 -  ..
121441 - Did not include idea of constant exposure to error is psychologically
121442 - burdensome so that a dedicated person may be required to perform
121443 - Communication Metrics.  The discussion of a psychologist which was
121444 - omitted from the final agenda is at ref DIT 1 line 100.

200838 - Despite Drucker's call reviewed on 931130, for managers to work
200839 - "smarter" rather than harder, ref SDS 2 1199, managers and executives
200840 - adamentally maintain that common sense shows hard work and longer
200841 - hours by smart people solves information overload, rather than adding

200861 - This is like trying to hire bigger and stronger people to dig the

200872 - The difficulty is that people can see a backhoe move more dirt than a
