What I Did
The document discusses the author's experience with knowledge management (KM) over 8 years at SRA and outlines some of the challenges they observed. Key points include:
1) KM involves not just information but how people learn and apply knowledge within an organizational culture.
2) Many organizations struggle with information sharing and lack focused efforts to improve interagency situational awareness.
3) Applying KM practices in the public sector faces additional challenges due to its extended enterprise of citizens, government agencies, and regulatory bodies.

Jaimes Stuff
This document discusses hunger and poverty around the world. Over 1 billion people live in poverty and 850 million people suffer from chronic hunger. A child dies from hunger or preventable disease every 2.9 seconds. The document states that hunger is not due to lack of food production, but rather inequalities in access to education and resources that result in issues like illiteracy, poverty, and families' inability to grow or buy food. It highlights examples of small groups working to overcome hunger and poverty, such as small farmers in the US and indigenous groups in Central/South America.
The Mall
This document discusses various human rights issues in global supply chains such as child labor and poor working conditions. It notes that many popular brands profit from abusive practices in their overseas factories. While teens in developed nations enjoy consumer goods without considering their origins, children in places like Vietnam and India work long hours in unsafe conditions for low pay. The mining of conflict minerals in Congo also exploits workers. The document encourages thinking about how consumer purchases impact workers and increasing awareness of ongoing exploitation.
Self Organized Air Tasking
This document summarizes a research study examining a non-hierarchical approach to air tasking in joint air operations using agent-based modeling. The study builds an agent-based air campaign model called ABACUS to test if decentralized execution can achieve the goals of an air campaign in a reasonable way. The model finds that targets are killed over time in simulations with decentralized tasking. While further validation is needed, the results indicate decentralized execution may be a feasible alternative to current hierarchical approaches under certain conditions like a target-rich environment with good intelligence sharing. The next steps are to improve the model and compare decentralized and centralized approaches using efficiency metrics.

Organizational Culture - Get Over It!
The document discusses organizational culture and provides strategies for changing culture. It defines organizational culture as shared basic assumptions learned by a group in solving problems. Culture exists at three levels - artifacts, espoused values, and basic underlying assumptions. Culture is deep, pervasive, complex, and stable. When trying to change culture, it is important to solve simple problems to create evangelists, establish trust, and influence the next generation of leaders. Small, repeatable changes can slowly influence the underlying assumptions that define the culture.
Think about the world from above 1.0
This document provides a series of prompts to encourage thinking about the world from an aerial perspective. It asks the reader to consider what patterns and features they notice when looking down on cities, landscapes, coastlines, and river systems. For each type of landscape, it prompts the reader to think about and discuss the patterns they see, outstanding features, and why things may be shaped in that way. The overall aim is to help geographers understand the world from a different vantage point using technology like aerial photography.
