181502 -
181503 - x0001 There is a good discussion of this subject at ref SDS 4 line 416.
181505 -  ..
181506 - This record draws on a variety of events to explain cost/benefits of
181507 - SDS to apply Communication Metrics.
181509 -  ..
181510 - The direct concern is that using SDS takes too much time and if you
181511 - hire someone, then that person costs money, per discussion with Marcy
181512 - at Intel on 960326. ref SDS 16 3866
181514 -  ..
181515 - The concern that it entails a life style change was reviewed on
181516 - 950428. ref SDS 11 0860, similar to hunter/gather model discussed
181517 - below.
181519 -  ..
181520 - Converting from Horses to Tractors
181521 -
181522 - I want to use the analogy of my grandfather failing to convert to
181523 - tractors because horses were faster and easeir to maintain, similar to
181524 - executives who want to rely on conversation because it seems faster
181525 - and easier to perform, ref SDS 4 8930, and on Drucker at ref SDS 7
181526 - 6150  Drucker also presents a "grandfather" analogy to illustrate the
181527 - role of adding intelligence to complement hard work. ref SDS 6 1199
181528 -
181530 -      ..
181531 -     Budgeting to Succeed
181532 -
181533 -     Organizations who are downsizing without adding back Communication
181534 -     Metrics are cutting themselves off from the link to details that
181535 -     intermediate managers provide.
181536 -     ..
181537 -     This is like saying I cannot afford a tractor to pull the
181538 -     plow so I will use a horse.
181539 -
181541 -  ..
181542 - The analogy of using a car to carry more groceries is at ref SDS 11
181543 - 0860.
181544 -
181546 -  ..
181547 - Hunter/Gatherer to Farming Bridge From IT to Culture of Knowldge
181548 -
181549 - We argue that SDS is the "tractor" to create knowledge, ideas, common
181550 - sense, wisdom and vision through "intelligence" process of "continual
181551 - learning" called the management cycle in POIMS, ref OF 1 6649, which
181552 - Morris calls the Welch Management method, from the record on 911123,
181553 - ref SDS 2 4930, that nobody else uses, except for people like Andy
181554 - Grove, based on Morris' comments in the record on 960401, ref SDS 17
181555 - 3703, and General Vernon Walters, discussed on 960410. ref SDS 18 3229
181556 - People who insist on using manual knowledge tools, relying solely on
181557 - in innate cognitive capacity, are like my Grandfather refusing to use
181558 - tractors because horses were fast and easy, discussed on 921217,
181559 - ref SDS 3 8930, which fits the hunter/gatherer model of refusing to
181560 - use farming because it took too long, i.e., it entailed an investment
181561 - strategy, discussed on 950426. ref SDS 10 4404
181562 - ..
181563 - Hunter/Gatherer analogy is also developed on 950428. ref SDS 11
181564 - 8564
181566 -  ..
181567 - Identified concepts during presentation to IBM on 970425.

181575 -     Religion
181576 -     Writing
181577 -
181578 -       We could substitute Microcosm or technology for "Information
181579 -       Highway."  Examples of Microcosm are nuclear power, micro
181580 -       processors and SDS, per example is in the NWO paper, ref OF 2
181581 -       line 1290.
181583 -        ..
181584 -       We could also use "Recission/Downsizing/Reengineering" showing
181585 -       negative consequences of feel good management, where management
181586 -       lacks a metric for communications, ref SDS 1 line 247.
181587 -
181588 - ..
181589 - Investing analogy, putting a little knowledge in each day
181590 - results in a rich harvest is at ref SDS 9 line 163.

240902 - Conversation is Fast and Easy
240903 -
240904 - The perception of the executive mindset that conversation is fast and
240905 - easy results in a conclusion of why bother to use SDS, ref SDS 19 line

240913 - SDS is Extension of Writing
240914 -
240915 - The power of writing was set out in the Prodigy dialogs in 1993, ref
240916 - SDS 5 line 101.
240917 -
240918 - The correlation of writing as an investment strategy to connect
240919 - assemblages of graphical characters called letters into higher orders
240920 - of meaning is explained at ref SDS 8 line 160, as applying the Power
240921 - of the Microcosm used in micro processors to human recall, grasp of
240922 - knowledge, history, common sense, wisdom and vision.  SDS leverages
240923 - this power, per ref SDS 12 line 235.

240927 - Ignorance, Fear and Denial
240928 -
240929 - The long cultural tradition of relying on personal wits, dimensions of
240930 - which are described above, is reinforced by demands of the Information
240931 - Highway and lead to significant resistance due to ignorance, fear and
240932 - denial.
240934 -  ..
240935 - Example of denial is at ref SDS 4 line 364.
