Subject: Resend with readable jpg: My takeway (while listening in toanother telecom)


Hi again Folks,


Sorry you couldn't read the diagram I attached the first time. I 
didn't realise that until  got back into my home office a few minutes 
ago. So none of what I said below could make much sense. The first 
time I saved in EA it did something screwy. I doubt my penchant for 
eliminating whitespace in filenames had anything to do with, but I 
left the diagram name alone this time and it worked.

So now you can see what I came away with from today'smeeting.

Cheers,
Rex



Hi Folks,

I shouldn't say I'm not going to do something when my next task is to 
listen into another meeting (and a looooong one) where I don't have 
to participate much. So I have attached my takeaway from today's 
meeting for the Trust and Risk in Willingness diagram. If EA allows a 
bi-directional Association Class, I couldn't find out how to do it, 
however, in practice both Trust and Risk should go in both 
directions, or you can just think of the actors as swapping 
positions. However, in any case, I think we should make their 
definitions as close to identical as we can as opposite Association 
Classes.

Now:

Trust: Trust is an actor's private perception of the commitment 
another actor has to a goal together with an identifiable set of real 
world effects associated with that goal.

Risk: Risk an an actor's private perception that another actor's 
actions will impede fulfillment of the first actor's objectives.

At a minimum I think Risk should say that "Risk is an actor's private 
perception that another actor's action and other factors will impede 
fulfillment of the first actor's objectives.

What I suggest: Trust is an actor's private perception that another 
actor's actions and other factors will aid fulfillment of the first 
actor's objectives.

I added other factors because different external and internal factors 
may apply between Trust and Risk and are part of the assessment of 
how well another actor's action will effect attaining the Desired 
Real World Effect.

I chose the Risk definition to make them identical just because it 
was shorter and more terse and commitment is, IMO just another 
factor, a big one, but just one of many.

So, In light of both Ken's prior effort and Danny's I think we are at 
least getting honded down.

Cheers,
Rex
