The Department of the Navy (DON) collects more data each day than the total amount stored in the Library of Congress, yet it does not have an effective strategy to share this information internally nor with the public, thus preventing it from maximizing on recent open-data and innovation trends. The DON possesses vast amounts of non-mission related data such as demographic, medical, energy, education, public safety, and financial data which other organizations are sharing with the public to promote innovation, transparency, and crowd-sourced problem solving but the DON has yet to overcome cultural and procedural hurdles.

Information management in the Navy is still widely based on industrial-age practices of silo-ing information and sharing it only on a "need-to-know" basis, as many fear sharing data increases the risk of cyber exploitation or attack. Developing a balanced policy that promotes the "need-to-share" data as the default position, while protecting critical personal or national security information, is at the heart of the Navy's data dilemma.

Can we apply technology to perform great good while avoiding great harm?  Can we fundamentally rethink how value is applied to Navy information?  We must adapt together.  Your help is needed.

We want to talk about YOUR IDEAS:  professional knowledge and practical experience, adapting lessons learned, all the way to your wildest imaginings. Help us understand and master the Navy's data dilemma:  when can we share, when must we silo?  This is your chance to help challenge our core assumptions and beliefs, examining transformative technologies that will shape our future.

What if you could...
  ...collaborate with anyone across boundaries?
      ...explore the potential of game-changing innovations?
         ...play the idea that sparks a hundred more?

Participation in dd MMOWGLI is limited to anyone 18 years of age or older.
