(U//FOUO) Coming Next Week: Brown Bag Sessions on Knowledge
Sharing
FROM: Lucia Jesus and
Operation SIGINT
Run Date: 06/21/2006
What: Brown bag sessions on knowledge sharing
When: June 26 - 30, 12:00-1:00
Where: OPS2B 4118-3
Advance registration is required; see below for details.
(U) By 2010, 70% of all federal employees will be eligible for retirement. 50% of them will
choose this option. That means a depletion of intellectual capital on the order of millions of
subject matter experts. How is NSA affected and what can it do about it now?
(U//FOUO) Developing people, processes, technology and organizational learning increases
NSA's return on investment. For example, at CIA, collaboration tools such as wikis and blogs,
are used to build knowledge repositories to ensure future mission success. They have over
10,000 hyper-linked wikis and over 1000 bloggers. However, knowledge management is more
than just tools and technically enabling databases. It connects those with positive voices and
focuses on solutions and those who are truly committed to their profession, their mission and
their organization.
(U//FOUO) OpSIGINT will host a series of brown bag sessions at Knowledge Sharing
Awareness Week from June 26-30, 2006. Our invited speakers will be:
Dr. Calvin Andrus, the Chief Technical Officer of Mission Innovation at CIA, who will
speak about knowledge management and its impact on preserving critical knowledge for
mission needs, and
Jeanne Holm, Chief Knowledge Management Architect at NASA Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, who will recount how their rapid response knowledge management system
was used during times of crisis and tragedy, such as the Challenger and Columbia
disasters.
OpSIGINT speakers will run demonstrations on tools readily available at NSA for knowledge
capture and transfer, and share knowledge management best-practices available here at NSA
that will ensure the future viability of NSA's precious treasure: knowledge.
