271733 - Abstract says....
271734 -
271735 -         Doug Engelbart is the National Medal of Technology winner.
271736 -
271737 -         Complexity and urgency of mankinds collective problems have
271738 -         steadily been increasing over the centuries; exploding
271739 -         technology is accelerating the increase. An opportunity exists
271740 -         to harness technology toward much increased "Collective IQ."
271741 -         Nice to think of ... but much more ... if we don't accelerate
271742 -         our pursuit of collective capability, our society could
271743 -         collapse upon itself.
271744 -
271745 -              This supports NWO, noting potential for information
271746 -              overload to accelerate bumbling causing enterprise to
271747 -              implode. ref OF 3 7501
271748 -              ..
271749 -              Letter to DKR team on 001004 said complex problems
271750 -              require an added measure of diligence. ref SDS 65 PW7K
271751 -              However, huge needs to not drive behavior, so need to
271752 -              make "intelligence" fun and effective. ref SDS 65 6N9G
271754 -               ..
271755 -              [On 001206 too many people have too many problems defines
271756 -              complexity that impacts productivity, earnings and stock
271757 -              prices. ref SDS 86 V54M
271759 -          ..
271760 -         Looking to the positive, there are concepts and strategies
271761 -         which can explicitly improve society's "improvement
271762 -         infrastructures" by the very products of an explicit pursuit
271763 -         of increased "Collective IQ." Re-investing those gains in a
271764 -         "bootstrap" strategy -- compound ROI. Large-scale challenge;
271765 -         time to consider appropriate large-scale re-oriented approach
271766 -         at national levels.

271805 -      Doug's call for High-Performance Support Teams was reviewed on

271807 -      for a new professional role to support communication and organize
271808 -      information similar to the way an accountant aligns finances, and
271809 -      engineers align work breakdown structures (WBS) with scope of
