Greetings! (04)
You are invited to the next Collaborative Expedition workshop on Tuesday,
September 14, 2004, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., at the National Science
Foundation, Ballston, VA. This workshop will expand the context for
business and technology decision-makers and practitioners who are advancing
the intergovernmental mechanisms key to citizen-centric government. We'll
be learning from the manufacturing sector about business relationship
convergence challenges that are relevant to our e-Government efforts today.
In addition, we'll be initiating an intelligent manufacturing virtual forum
to continue the dialogue begun at the workshop. The agenda and venue
location is below. Workshop information is also available at:
http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ExpeditionWorkshop/DesignWorkshopforNationalDialogueOnIntelligentManufacturing (05)
Please share this invitation with interested colleagues. RSVP to
Renee.Hughes@xxxxxxx or 202-501-4083. Please note, all laptops brought to
the workshop must first be scanned for viruses in Room 357, Stafford I. (06)
Best Regards,
Susan Turnbull, GSA, Office of Citizen Services and Communications

Collaborative Expedition Workshop #35, September 14, 2004, at NSF (09)
Design Workshop to Frame National Dialogue on Intelligent Information Use
in Manufacturing and Implications for e-Government (010)
1. Purpose/ Description (011)
To help our Enterprise Architecture, Emerging Technology, and Federal
Networking and Information Technology Research & Development (NITRD)
communities understand the broad implications of Intelligent Information
Use in Manufacturing. What lessons from the manufacturing sector offer
valuable context for intergovernmental agreements around knowledge sharing
and enterprise innovations? What is unfolding at the frontier of this
important Information Space today? What are the strategic priorities and
relationships that can frame the planning for national dialogue around this
strategic opportunity? Who needs to be included in this dialogue? What are
the implications for Intelligent Information Use in Manufacturing, in light
of the global build-out of cyber-infrastructure? What environmental, trade,
and corporate (both tangible and intangible assets) governance mechanisms
are inextricably linked to this global connectedness? Will automated
integration be achieved as trusted relationships mature? (012)
What are the implications and challenges likely to arise for US industry
(regulated and non-regulated), financial institutions, shareholders, state
economic development programs, and global intermediaries? How can we
anticipate the realistic scenarios needed to form sound alliances and
manage risk? How can Intelligent Information Use in Manufacturing
contribute to the triple bottom line - Environment, Social and Economic
aspects of corporate performance? Will business incubators (state economic
development programs) and innovation diffusion networks (SBIR, seed
investment, angel investors,etc.) have a role as frontier outposts for
Intelligent Information Use in Manufacturing? (013)
Will frontier outposts for Intelligent Information Use in Manufacturing be
the first adopters of open, semantic technologies (like ontological
standards or semantic web-services) that "distill" and "apply" the
smart-data, -information and -knowledge needed by both people and machines
to solve complex problems within their work environments? How can the
relationships, business processes, and tools needed by diverse people to
augment their "collective intelligence" around manufacturing be designed to
support and not hobble, people's natural forms of expertise? (014)

Dialogue (025)
3:45 p.m. - Reflections from workshop presenters and participants
What are the principal findings from the dialogue around strategic
priorities and relationships? How has this "larger landscape" relative
to Intelligent Information Use in Manufacturing influenced your
perspective on actions that could be taken toward this purpose as a
strategic leader in your setting? (026)
4:15 p.m. - ADJOURN (027)
2. Collaborative Expedition Workshop Series Background (028)
The Collaborative Expedition workshops serve individuals and
policy-makers from all sectors: government, business, and
non-government organizations to practice an emerging societal form
that advances realization of the citizen-centric government goal of
the President's Management Agenda. Each workshop organizes
participation around a common purpose, larger than any institution,
including government. By learning how to appreciate multiple
perspectives around the potentials and realities of this larger
"purpose", subsequent actions of individuals representing many forms
of expertise, can be expressed more effectively in their respective
settings. (029)
Workshop sponsors, including, GSA Office of Intergovernmental
Solutions, the Architecture and Infrastructure Committee of the
Federal CIO Council and National Coordination Office of the
Interagency Committee on IT R&D (Social, Economic and Workforce
Implications of IT and IT Workforce Development (SEW) Coordinating
Group) value this "frontier outpost" to open up quality conversations,
augmented by information technology, that leverage the collaborative
capacity of united and diverse Americans seeking to discover, frame,
and act on national potentials. (030)
A key finding of the past year, is the need to apply emerging
technologies (web services, grid computing, and semantic web) to tune
up the innovation pipeline with better linkages among business
incubators (state economic development programs), innovation diffusion
networks (SBIR, angel investors, etc.) and business intelligence
centers with quality information about e-government and e-commerce
gaps. Many of the agile business components surfacing in the small
business innovation world are not easily discovered by e-government
managers, resulting in lost or delayed opportunities for both parties. (031)
