that organizational structure is actually in place. therefore, i would appreciate it if you could delegate to our committee staff a detailed organizational chart along with the accompanied job descriptions. >> i am happy to do it, sir. i believe that would be helpful for me to understand the words that you have said and how it works out. how works from the previous questions asked. it is within the department and the organizational structure there. if you would do that. >> we would be happy to provide it. >> i would like to understand more completely your testimony. and i think you. >> i yield back, mr. chairman. >> i thank the gentleman. why do you think it is? you heard an earlier panel. why do you think it is that these long-standing, well documented deficiencies of this particular facility, they were allowed to go on for so long. anything that is? >> the things that we have found since the episode, mr. chairman, even though some of these things were noticed, the internal reporting chain was broken. that was the phrase used in some

low and i observed absolutely amazing, exciting organizational behavior. exactly 4 37 people were quite excited to express their negative reaction to this particular project. and it is to your advantage that we ended up getting a petition for these people unless they'd all be here. they'd all like to talk to you and you would have been here for days. but we know that this commission has already decided to approve the subject variance. so, the only reason for this meeting, this hearing is for you to consider the attitudes, opinions, and beliefs of the people who would like to be here one way or another, if not in person, by petition. and you saw the people who -- they felt negatively affected of any physical change in their habitat. and they saw this so clearly that they asked to have the petition. we didn't actually solicit. people came around asking, couldn't we come -- how about a petition? it's interesting to note that your discovery review document indicated there were zero people in favor of this project where 11 were registered as being opposed. 11 w

i suggest it is not just technical systems the managerial and organizational systems as well.you can have organizational systems complexly interactive comment tightly coupled with devastating consequences. this is too much but bear with me. with complex interactions with the organizational and managerial system we talk about policies, and procedures that are complex -- complexly interactive because bits' get lost overtime. with organizations and learn the responses of the past past, when they forget parts of responses are solutions solutions, suddenly those systems suddenly become compaq -- complexly interactive. of high relief formalize procedures this can lead to a tight coupling, no way to stop the process once it is started. nobody has the authority or the information. so there are analogies to the antecedents with a managerial and organizational systems and what we think of is un-learning and forgetting. our major competitors to these accidents. by forgetting, the unintentional loss of lessons we had before that will create gaps in what we think we know and what generates

then the issue of the long-term cultural organizational issues section of the report i'm going to get back to the technical authority and stuff like that. i'm going to get back to that in a a minute. the overarching issues that struck us was with one since the entry involved just as much energy and just as much fire and light and heat as the launch, why isn't more attention paid to that so we took care of that. is this an experimental vehicle, test vehicle or and operational vehicle? if you can't you answer that question, you can't get -- if you inserted incorrectly, you will go down the wrong path. and then one of the other issues of course we spent a lot of time on and money was spent on a lot of our report was spent on the gate guard at the johnson space center told me is foment cannot hurt. you can go to the cafeteria and workers in the cafeteria would tell you if, cannot. so that was appalled help for us and why we spend all the money to take the rcc off of the enterprise. the last thing i want to talk about them is this long term kind of recommendation to the most of portend has

they happen in organizational systems as with el. -- well. that's sort of the kind of situation i want to talk about. you can have organizational systems that are complexly interact i have tightly coupled and have devastating consequences. there's too much on this, i know. bear with me. when we talk about connell mention interactions in an organizational system, we are talking about policies and standards, procedures that can become complexly interactive either because they were poorly designed to begin with, or because bit of them get lost over time. so with ocean unlearned parts of responses they had in the past when they forget parts of responses that they had, solutions they had in the past, suddenly systems that did work suddenly become complexly interactive. when you have highly centralized and highly formalized procedures within an organization, this can lead also to the notion of tight coupling. there's no way to stop the process once it gets started. no one has the authority to stop it, nobody has the information to stop it. the syst

the importance of passing on knowledge from one organizational generation to the next.especially when you have these reorganizations in downsizing. you lose so much information. there needs to be a way of overlapping people within organizations to make it more possible for them to pass on the lessons that are never going to make it into a rule book or a standard operating procedure or a policy. and so i think some kind of journeyman system or something that makes it possible for people to learn the fixes that people have found in the past. and carry those on. >> did you want -- >> okay. another question? okay. i can tell we're getting late in the day. with that, we're on time and doing well, and i'd like to really call up our penultimate panel, admiral gehman and wayne hale. [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> we cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy. that's why earlier today i signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing and

if we expand the lens for which we look at businesses, if we say we have this organizational form, why can we be successful at innovative products and services and wealth generation and implement generation on a large scale? if you could take that organizational form and expand what it is capable of doing and issues it can take on, we would see transformative change across society. the problems that we have as a society are too great to be dealt with by any one sector alone. we need a thriving public sector. we need a thriving social sector. we need a thriving public, social, and private sector. if you look at those different set nurse, -- sectors, the capability is in the private sector. instead of demonizing corporations, and think we can inspire and encourage corporations to recognize the capabilities and the capacity they have for the potential. i think it is not a matter of saying that corporations have done a lot of wrong so let's penalize them. instead, say that corporations have enormous potential to do good, so let's help them get there. let's create an alignment of incentives

we're essentially eliminating the organizational - we also have significantly reduced city anti consultant at the prom level and we've taken a number of steps to transition our projects to city staff and we'll continue to make that go forward. i think we're far long enough to give you a preview and i'll give you a thorough presentation in april but schedule wise you ail our projects will be delivered by the july 16th deadline except for two projects. we also have the schedule of the creek project formerly known as the creek filter project that project schedule has been debated until early 2019. keep in mind that project is tied to the dam project and can't be completed until the dam is completed. budget wise we know that it will exceed the budget we're still working out all the numbers. and when you look at costs so far based on the preliminary costs but at the same time we've realized savings of 20 projects. the one project that we have has the largest cost increases. i anticipate we'll be able to complete all our forecasting work. we're going to issue a thirty day notice of change to com

i'm working with a number of leaders, both on the plitd call and other church and pastors and organizationalyears on this issue. more and more people starting to come on board and i'm pleased to see that. i believe a pathway to citizenship is important. i think it's very important when you look at 12 million stories of individuals who are here for one reason or another. some of them have been born as young individuals in countries and they have been here for all of their lives. they consider themselves americans. they love america. they don't know their mother country. they don't maybe speak the language. for us to say that you can come out of the shadows but you don't have an opportunity to become a citizen really is the wrong message and i think it's against and contrary to our values. it's against our history as a country. that has had open arms for the immigrants. all of us at one time or another have essentially an immigrant background and i think what we're seeing is a good crescendo of movement and we have a lot further to go, however. not everyone is convinced an enwhat we're doing i

this slideshows how the breakdown came through those organizational units. the last column indicates the low number of parks now that are getting those low scores. and that is quite an achievement for us. on the change column, a little bit to the left, you will see that the margin of scores that changed from last year is somewhat small. we think most of the scores are insignificant statistically and the big point that we can see from the chart is almost all of the psas are able to approach or are well-above the 85% threshold we aim for. what we're trying to do for the public, of course, is to present outcomes that they can appreciate. you know, to provide parks that have great facilities, and so when we do our park evaluations we break them out into 14 features. these are the various aspects of the park the benchs, the children's play areas, hard scapes, lawns, that really denote the various types of maintenance and types of experiences that the users have. again they have been very stable. the changes since the last year are fairly small. and over the time

more information that is forthcoming that really proves and shows the benefit of both of the organizational structures. i believe that that information is out there. i just think that that probably has not been brought to light. and, so, without that information at this moment i'm not able to support it. so, just wanted to explain that. but thank you very much for reaching out and sharing with me your comments. i verb appreciate it. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you. i will be pretty much echoing the comments of supervisor carmen chu. i do want to thank people for coming here and expressing their interest and keeping the current structure for the garages. i just feel that i haven't really heard real tangible benefits that are quantifiable that i could really support. i think that there's ways of things have been done that we would like to continue, but i don't think it's necessarily the reason why i want to be able to support something going forward without looking at how we can actually create better structures for our garages overall under the mta. so, i will be voting no on this. i'm su

and, so, you're recruiting this organizational structure and network within our city family to really accelerate the release of data to the public. and one of the main things that the open data coordinator will be working on is establishing a catalog of data that they manage as an agency. and the reason we did that was when we talk to our community and ask them, hey, what data would you like to see, their response was, well, what data do you have? our response would be, well, we don't know. obviously not a fruitful productive exchange. that tried to resolve that issue and create a great feedback so we can prioritize thousands if not tens of thousands of data sets we manage on behalf of the public. the other components of the open data legislation are really making structural systematic change so that our default position is one of openness. the first is that we are ensuring that new technology that we purchase has the ability to share data inherently, that it has a p
