Convergence of Culture and Practices

Old

• Local computer use

• “Free form” info products

• Uncoordinated info production

• “Serial” production processes (TPED)

• Individual filing systems

• Stovepipe info products

• Isolated planning efforts

• Need to know

• Fragmented Situational Awareness

New

Network computer use

“Style sheet” formatted info

Distributed info production plan

Both serial and parallel processing (TPED & TPPU)

On-line “Virtual Knowledge Base”

Integrated info products

Collaborative planning

Need to share

Shared Situational Awareness

-27 -UNCLASSIFIED


1. Chose a leader

2. Designate a single command and control system as the focal point

3. Ensure all info sources point at the command and control system

4. Organize the Commander's operational info requirements and displays

5. Assign specific operational information production duties

6. Use the command and control system every day

7. Leaders must actually use the command and control system

8. Ensure full participation and compliance

9. Reorganize as required to shape the information environment

10. Don't wait for magic technical solutions
