This graphic was inspired by both the work of LtCol Gary Beaver, USA (Ret), then in Bosnia, and the efforts of the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) to create a global inter-agency information sharing capability. We still need this, at the global as well as the regional levels.

We've formed the conclusion over time that leaders spend too much time on the 20% that is contentious or worrysome, and not nearly enough time on the 80% that is of common interest but perhaps not controversial. We have all failed for decades, since the value of information as a tangible and intangible “good” has been recognized, to create an information commons. This graphic, first created for the Peacekeeping Intelligence Conference in Sweden in December 2004. The time has come to unity humanity with information shared and sense made, and in so doing, to harness the wealth-creating power of the human brain in all its forms.
Graphic: Simplified World Conflict Map
Strategy-Holistic Coherence, Threats
This chart drew on Berto Jongman's World Conflict & Human Rights Map. It focuses only on armed conflict. While there are many fine books that looks at “State of the World” and State of this and that, we still do not have a single map or display that properly represents the ten high-level threats to humanity, within which just two–Inter-State Conflict and Civil War–are actually “armed” conflict. Everything else is genocide under another name, including poverty, disease, and proliferation for profit.

Mike Hayden introduced the important concept of being able to connect the dots across disciplines from ingestion point onwards, not only at the finished production level. Steve Edwards flipped chart to show dots coming it at the top, and Robert Steele added the last three bars, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), Information Operations (IO), and all Other.
