Going for the Green

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.

Intelligence Standards

There was a time when we had the International Standards Organization (ISO) intereseted in possibly creating an ISO series for intelligence as a means of helping the eight tribes of intelligence do more information-sharing and sense-making together.  That died in part because standards kill military-industrial-intelligence sweetheart contracts that are not in compliance and no not want to be in compliance–exclusive “single point” lock-in is the Holy Grail for those who abuse the public trust.  Standards are right up there with transparency as being threats to the status quo.

This was created by Robert Steele in the 1990's when it became apparent that top-down secrecy-based government was completely unsuited to reality and the needs for public consensus decision-making taking the long-view as advocated by Steward Brand.

The conceptualization of this chart was indirectly influenced by the works of Kirkpatrick Sale and by the Native American concept of “seventh generation” decision-making–making every decision with a profound appreciation for its implications on the seventh generation out (roughly 230 years out at the time).

Epoch B is a phrase used by someone specific that we cannot run down right now.

With a tip of the hat to the Association for Information Professionals (AFIO), here is the single most relevant and accurate view of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and that worthy good person's lack of authority over the mess that is now costing the U.S. taxpayer no less than $65 billion a year and probably closer to $75 billion a year.

This graphic was created when Bill Ruh briefed the CISCO Application Oriented Network (AON) around town, and we all realized that CATALYST (Computer-Aided Tools for the Analysis of Science & Technology) as defined by Diane Webb and Dennis McCormick under the leadership of Gordon Oehler, could now reside in the cloud.  When combined with the TOOZL offering of STRONG ANGEL, it is clear there is no impediment to what the Swedes call Multinational, Multiagency, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information-Sharing and Sesne-Making (M4IS2) other than leadership ignorance and leadership lack of integrity.
