121003 - Intel's outline correlates well with the Asilomar theme and the PMBOK
121004 - definition of leadership.  The presentation offers a key conceptual
121005 - framework of a "Dream Office."  Discussed Intel's scope in relation to
121006 - other speakers.  Intel will consider adding a short video on history,
121007 - complexity and source of processing power derived from the "Law of the
121008 - Microcosm," to support a principle for empowering leadership with
121009 - control of complex management details.  Consideration on obtaining a

121401 - Intel's Outline Meets Asilomar Goal on New Realities of Technology
121402 -
121403 - David and Marcy submitted their latest outline, ref DRT 1 0000.
121404 -
121405 - Marcy explained how the outline addresses goals of Asilomar.
121407 -  ..
121408 - The title reflects the goal to distinguish between the harsh reality
121409 - of information overload from a constant stream of dialog and
121410 - documents, and the goal to access particular information when it is
121411 - needed:
121412 -

121420 -     The presentation ends with discussion of interim solutions. see
121421 -     ref DRT 1 3225
121423 -      ..
121424 -     The title implies technology is not meeting the goal of converting
121425 -     information into "knowledge," discussed with David at the meeting
121426 -     on 960103, ref SDS 11 8409, earlier on 950927 ref SDS 10 4839 and
121427 -     ref SDS 10 2432, and on 950714 when David was asked to speak at
121428 -     Asilomar on behalf of Intel. ref SDS 9 4839.
121430 -      ..
121431 -     The new reality of faster and constantly changing technology is
121432 -     reduced management productivity absent some new ingredient, as
121433 -     discussed at the PMI dinner on 950412. ref SDS 7 3920

121447 -     Consideration might be given to adding a positive perspective by
121448 -     changing "Myth or Reality" to "Converting Myth into Reality."
121450 -      ..
121451 -     This orients the audience to hear what needs to be done and how
121452 -     Intel and future technology is evolving to place "Information at
121453 -     your Fingertips," which is actually explained in the presentation.

121481 -     invited to speak on "Ambassadors of Change," about converting a
121482 -     constant stream of information into useful "intelligence," ref SDS
121483 -     19 3229, called "knowledge" in the New World Order paper ref OF 2

121555 -     Leadership with a Broader Vision
121556 -     "Dream" Office:  New Technology, New Skills, New Roles
121557 -     ------------------------------------------------------
121558 -     David and Marcy have extended the idea of presenting the "Dream
121559 -     Machine," discussed at the 960103 meeting, ref SDS 11 5646.  The
121560 -     "Dream Office" illustrates leadership with a broader vision,
121561 -     central to the goal for Asilomar to apply principles in the PMBOK.
121563 -      ..
121564 -     The "office" metaphor embodies the partnership between people and
121565 -     technology that makes leadership effective.  This partnership
121566 -     means that new technology offers opportunities and requirements to
121567 -     "reengineer" management.  Intel's outline focuses on technology to
121568 -     turn "data" into more useful information, ref DRT 1 line 159.
121570 -      ..
121571 -     As technology expands the impact of the Information Highway, what
121572 -     new skills and roles will be needed to convert mountains of
121573 -     information into useful knowledge?  Will transitional roles be
121574 -     needed, similar to Scribes who for centuries made the alphabet a
121575 -     powerful instrument for ancient leaders, as discussed at the
121576 -     meeting on 960315?  ref SDS 15 4545
121578 -      ..
121579 -     Can technology add value to existing roles by supporting new
121580 -     tasks, responsibilities and practices to accommodate a new
121581 -     information environment. Is this a dimension of the partnership
121582 -     between leadership and technology that can make the "Dream Office"
121583 -     a reality?
121585 -      ..
121586 -     Who is working on the "people/skills" part of the "Dream Office"?
121587 -
121588 -         [On 970418 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reported that
121589 -         Communication Metrics is a management science that defines a

121595 -     apply technology in the Dream Office, as discussed with Dave at

121601 -     CAD/CAM Automation Essential to Handle Increased Complexity
121602 -
121603 -     Kavinder related Turner's interest in tools that integrate design
121604 -     and management of new facilities, from our discussion earlier this
121605 -     morning on Stanford's CIFE program, ref SDS 35 6589.
121606 -
121607 -     David said Intel developed its own proprietary CAD tools, which
121608 -     were essential to handle increased complexity of later generation
121609 -     microprocessors.  They found that generic products always had
121610 -     features that Intel did not need, and lacked ones that were
121611 -     critical.
121613 -      ..
121614 -     At Asilomar, Turner and Intel can offer ideas on extending CAD/CAM
121615 -     technology to handle the complexity of dimensional space used in
121616 -     construction and chip design, to the more complex task of managing
121617 -     daily communication that empowers leadership and teamwork.  David
121618 -     Bounchristini, Esq, will explain a concept of "knowledge space" as
121619 -     a model from legal practice for integrating information and time.

121621 -     950927 about the power of the microcosm to control lower levels of
121622 -     organic structure, ref SDS 10 5412, which Intel has mastered in
121623 -     computer chip design, may lead to useful technology for the
121624 -     practice of management, ref SDS 10 3482, which is essentially

571341 -     Computers can quickly assess whether a gate is open or shut and

691215 -     Most of the human story (history) that has the knowledge, wisdom
691216 -     and vision needed for daily work, is not in the formal information
691217 -     instruments of traditional management practice.  It exists only in
691218 -     the minds of leaders who have wide experience and responsibility;
691219 -     but, it is subject to error, as discussed above.  So, another use
691220 -     of voice data entry might be to capture more of the details that
691221 -     leaders encounter and believe will impact success.  Traditionally,
691222 -     these "management details" are only assembled and tested in a
691223 -     careful way through litigation which produces a "knowledge base"
691224 -     for deciding the path of future conduct, called "case law."  This
691225 -     is expensive, time consuming and disconnected from the dynamics of
691226 -     daily leadership.

691235 -         reasoned decisions.  Intel recognized this concern in meetings

691241 -     Voice data entry offers the prospect of empowering leaders to
691242 -     create this "knowledge base" concurrent with the work.  Can the
691243 -     right technology integrate "time" and "information" so managers
691244 -     can test understandings to align communications as called out by
691245 -     the PMBOK (section 2.4.1)?  As the flow of information increases,
691246 -     this may be critical to avoid the increased risk of error that
691247 -     leads to losses, conflict, lawsuits, higher costs, lower earnings

691313 - some of that material be used at Asilomar?  Marcy indicated this
691314 - project is still underway.
691316 -  ..
691317 - A video at Asilomar would be entertaining for the audience and make
691318 - several key points:
691319 -
691321 -      ..
691322 -     Understanding Complexity Yields Power
691323 -
691324 -     The video might show the complexity of computer chip design and
691325 -     manufacturing, as a way to illustrate this point.
691326 -
691327 -     We want to draw an analogy to how computers can empower leaders by
691328 -     harnessing the natural structure of the management process, cited
691329 -     by Deming, Hammer, the PMBOK, ISO 10006, and called plan, perform,
691330 -     report, in the New World Order paper reviewed by Intel and others
691331 -     in preparing for Asilomar.
691332 -
691334 -      ..
691335 -     Knowledge is Power
691336 -
691337 -     Understanding complexity often provides knowledge of how to direct
691338 -     materials and events by aligning people to improve productivity.
691339 -     Intel's success applying this knowledge to microprocessors may
691340 -     point to clues about how to apply microprocessors to support the
691341 -     management objectives implied by the common sense aphorisms:
691342 -
691343 -                          time is money
691345 -                           ..
691346 -                          knowledge is power
691348 -      ..
691349 -     Thus, a reasonable use of technology might be to integrate these
691350 -     goals resulting in automated integration of time, information,
691351 -     people and documents.

691356 -
691357 - David's introduction will cite the article "Chips Triumphant" in the
691358 - Feb 26, 1996 Forbes ASAP magazine, and the 1991 Byte interview he did,
691359 - ref SDS 33 line 78.  The Forbes ASAP article suggests Intel is a good
691360 - source for ways to apply technology effectively, since they and other
691361 - chip manufacturers have been working with technology for a longer time
691362 - than most other industries.

691372 - Confirmed 960529 letter (email - ref DIP 13 line 40 submitted at ref
691373 - SDS 24 8338), that Intel can submit a paper at the Conference as an
691374 - insert for Event binders each attendee will receive.  This can be as
691375 - simple as the final Powerpoint outline which we received today, or
691376 - anything further that might be helpful in applying ideas offered at

691390 -
691391 - The editor of PMI Communications is attending the Asilomar Conference,
691392 - so there is expectation that the event will receive publicity in an
691393 - upcoming issue of PMI's publications.  Possibly a quote from Mr. Grove
691394 - would be appropriate to supplement David's remarks, if warranted by
691395 - the results of the Conference, i.e., if a new direction or significant
691396 - step in the technology/leadership equation is advanced.
