Seven Information TribesThe Way Ahead
6
National TribeGovernment

• Spies Secrets are the smallest part of
  government
  
• Government information is owned by the people,
  not the State
  
• National Institute of Health (NIH) now demands
  all research be published via Open Access
  
• Accountability at all levels is going to rise
  dramatically in next 5 years

7
Military TribeArmed Forces Gendarme/Guard

• Militarys greatest value is in maps charts as
  well as digital elevation data
  
• NGA is in process of taking mapping off the
  marketyou must all file demarches at the
  national level
  
• Military can also provide C4I hub for PKI
  WAN/LAN open to all parties.
  
• Swedish Military Academy can provide common
  training for all
  
• Military information process is priceless
• Border patrol observation is priceless

8
Law Enforcement TribeINTERPOL, EUROPOL,
Provincial Local Police

• Must improve pay across the boardstreet cops
  must be perfect and protected from
  temptationwhile also being ruthless with
  political corruption
• Synthetic information and aggregate data mining
  do not violate privacy
  
• Greatest obstacle is amount of hard-copy files
  and lack of digital tools at the precinct
  levelneed US funding
  
• Metrics, coordination of effort, do not violate
  privacywe must have a common view of the
  battlefield, and global hot pursuit

9
Business TribeBusiness Information ManagersNot
Only BI/CI

• Client information is reasonably top secret
• Pricing information (discounts not made public)
  also
  
• Cost information can be shared in aggregate ways
• External information generally ignoredimagine if
  all general managers shared their insights into
  local political, economic, cultural, and
  demographic situation?

10
Academic TribeResearch, Distance Learning,
Student Projects

• In the US, academics have identified 50B a year
  in import-export tax fraud/money laundering
  
• Academic data mining is the fastest cheapest
  means of discovering anomalies while learning new
  means of discovery
  
• We are wasting hundreds of billions around the
  world in duplicate, badly managed, academic
  studies that are neither digitized properly, nor
  shared
• Fixing this alone will double what we can know
  about our most serious issues

11
NGO-Media TribeGround Truth Observation
Investigation

• UN aid workers can be immature and spend too much
  time partying.
  
• UN information constitutes the largest garbage
  pit in the worldbut if we can connect it, use
  it, it becomes an information goldmine
  
• Red Cross, Green Peace, Amnesty International,
  Doctors without Borders, ECCPthese are the
  real-world information leaders
  
• Media publishes 10 of what it knowswe have to
  get at the other 90 via shared networks
  
• Eyes on target is the gold standard

12
Citizen-Labor-Religion TribeNeighborhoods,
Collectives, and Faith-Based Networks

• The ultimate intelligence network is
  publicintelligence minutemen
  
• Labor unions other collectives have the power
  to match governments and corporations with public
  intelligence
  
• Faith-based networksBNai Brith, Islam, the
  Catholic Church, Evangelicals, Pentecostals, all
  have information power that is not properly
  processed nor shared
• Where we have gone wrong is in thinking that
  organizations control informationthey do not.
  Weber is deadwe are free if we wish to be
