Complex Operations Knowledge Needs Survey

Below is a letter from our friends at Naval Postgraduate School. Link for the survey is at the bottom.

Dear Colleague,

We would like your feedback for a project to develop a Complex Operations Wiki for the community involved in Stability, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction and Irregular Warfare operations. The project is funded by ONR under the OSD Human, Social, Culture and Behavior modeling program. The Complex Operations Wiki is a collaborative project between NPS and Milcord, a knowledge management company specializing in social behavior and geospatial intelligence applications. Other organizations participating in the HSCB program will also publish in the Complex Operations Wiki.

We are conducting an online survey to capture the knowledge processing needs and wants of the complex operations community. In particular, our survey measures the current usage of field manuals, data sources, community portals, reference content in the planning and execution of complex operations missions and identifies the needs and wants as expressed by the community. The results of this survey will help us focus content areas by the value to the community. Complex Operations Wiki will integrate doctrine, quantitative data, qualitative facts and relationships, reference knowledge, and expert knowledge, and enable the user to pose questions and receive fact-based answers using an “answers engine”.

We request your participation in our knowledge processing needs and wants survey for the complex operations community by taking our questionnaire at the link below. This survey should only take 5-15 minutes and we feel that there is a great deal of value that we can return to the community in building a Complex Operations Wiki. Thank you and we look forward to your responses.
