What are the Real Risks of Knowing and Not Knowing - Leading Knowledge on Cyber
Abstract
This paper represents the unclassified deliberations of the authors based upon research, assessment, analysis and application in the areas of Knowledge Management and Command and Control. This paper is written against the backdrop of the strategic failure of many Western Institutions, as witnessed on 9/11, in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Great Recession. At the same time there has been a wish to control, censure and manipulate more, notably within Cyber and seemingly correlating to an increase in damaging leaks that have further undermined the credibility, authority and standing of the political, those do with s r te (security, safety, trusts and assurances) and the economic.

We consider leadership and management of the emerging Knowledge Enterprise Economies and how we ma
