A Wiki used in this way is a picture of what is. As such, it has many valuable features and characteristics, but one thing it doesn't do is disseminate its findings. The wisdom may be there for all to see in that target picture, but it still must be read, like tea leaves. <br /><br />Actually, I found the juxtaposition of Clark's target and Pirolli and Card's sensemaking loop quite illuminating. I suddenly realized that the sensemaking loop is precisely how I develop and share individual lessons from the Wiki target picture. Placing new info into the Wiki and collaborating with others on what it means in context of the target picture, then moving those conclusions out to others, is precisely what needs to be done. <br /><br />The Wiki picture is a versatile tool but it remains passive. The intelligence cycle aspect requires that actionable intelligence emerge from the shoebox and reach those who need it.<br /><br />We could challenge the original question. Perhaps we should have an "actionable intelligence cycle" and a "target knowledge cycle", or maybe a "threat awareness cycle"? Maybe "intelligence cycle" doesn't cut it anymore?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
