Howard Rheingold first came to the attention of the secret world when his book, Tools for Thinking, was integrated into Project George (Smiley) in the Office of Information Technoloigy.  Independently of Diane Webb, whose articulation of CATALYST (Computer Aided Tools for the Analysis of Science and Technology) he defined human-centered and analytically-oriented computing.  The US Govenrment STILL does not have serious analytic workstations today, nor do most.  Organizations are stuck in Quadrant I (Knowledge Management) while individuals are playing around in Quadrant II (Social Networking.  OSS and a handful of commercial practitioners have been in Quadrant III (External Direct Access)  since 1995 or so, and we are all now getting ready to migrate to Quadrant IV (Organizational Intelligence).

Paul Strassman, CIO of Xeroc before becoming the Defense Information Officer, was an open-minded person who encouraged iconoclosts to submit their ideas.  He did listen.  What we have all learned over time is that organizations that do not have adaptive cultures will always allow “corporatism” to create fatal grid-lock.  We knew all we needed to know in 1991-1992 to change the world forever, using information as a global strategic asset.  See REF A and RE B in References.  Here is his take on it in 1992.
