Graphic: Human Intelligence (HUMINT) J-2 Central
Capabilities-Force Structure, Collection, Innovation, Languages-Translation, Multinational Plus, Reform, Strategy-Holistic CoherenceThis is a variation of the Human Intelligence (HUMINT) graphic greated in Sweden, one that shows the J-2 for a region, in this case AFRICOM, being central to the provision of leadership across all of the aspects of HUMINT represented within DoD and the rest of government, all of them largely “out of control” right now.
Graphic: The Four Quadrants of Knowledge
Citizen-Centered, Collection, ICT-IT, Innovation, Processing, Strategy-Holistic CoherenceThis was inspired by Harold Wilenski's book, Organizational Intelligence (Knowledge and Policy in Government and Industry), and Robert Steele's growing awareness that what passes for “Knowledge Management” is nothing more than internal data mining. Augmented by an understanding of collaboration networks and by the growing but still immature field of commercial intelligence, the chart took shape rather quickly.
Not anticipated, but now consistent with both the strategic direction of the Earth Intelligence Network, and the reality of how cell phones rather than laptops are the device of choice for the poor, was the seminal role of the cell phone as the device of choice for achieving organizational intelligence.
It can be useful placed side by side with Nova Spivak's Meta-Web illustration to see a convergence of the technical-centered (Spivak) and the human-centered (Steele).
Graphic: Regional Information-Sharing and Sense-Making Centre
Advanced Cyber/IO, Analysis, Capabilities-Force Structure, Collection, ICT-IT, Innovation, Languages-Translation, Multinational Plus, Policies-Harmonization, Strategy-Holistic Coherence, TribesThis is a basic regional centre that would initially work exclusively with open sources of information, but could, as trust and mutual intersts coincide, extend to do focused clandestine and covert actions, for example, against transnational criminal gangs, corrupt government officials and predatory corporate officials that loot commonwealths by bribing single officials at key points.
Graphic: Sunshine Cabinet
Innovation, Leadership-Integrity, Reform, Strategy-Holistic CoherenceThis is a notional representation of what a proper non-partisan, transpartisan, post-partisan Cabinet might look like, created in partnership with Jock Gill and Michael Cudahy. America is too complicated to be run by one person elected by 30% of the eligible voters, and their partisan buddies.
Graphic: Strategy Centre
Analysis, Balance, Capabilities-Force Structure, Innovation, Multinational Plus, Policies-Harmonization, Strategy-Holistic CoherenceThis was created as a notional standard for any state or province recognizing that the federal government has failed and that each state or province is on its own should it wish to survive what some have called “The Long Emergency.” Panarchy and resilience and sustainability arfe achievable at any level, and it may well be that we must start at the bottom rather than the top, which makes perfect sense.
