Leadership Lessons from “The Shirtless Dancing Guy”
A leader (SAON) is a lone nut without followersSo a leader (SAON) should be easy to followThe first follower is key – publically shows everyone else how to followLeaders treat first followers as equals – it’s about the movement
A movement needs to be public – new followers follow other followersSlide4
Observations w/o Network
= sum of parts

What would an AON network make possible?
The network effect is a phenomenon whereby a good or service becomes more valuable when more people use it. Slide6

Understanding what obs are
widely valuable
and why and by whom;
Supporting discoverability, accessibility, and
use
preferences;
Fostering harmonization, integration.Slide7

New US AON Capabilities
US AON Funders Board is convening to advance a broader vision and provide resources & guidance on “quick win” opportunities;
NOAA Executive Director +
Agency Researchers
to
foster networks, sustain
visioning
and
scope
“quick win”
efforts;
Community
engagement through
Interagency Observing Team
(IARPC AOSST
) – Focus on Fostering Research Networks to support above.Slide10
US AON – Developing Vision
Establish and support a task-driven US AON to mobilize US contributions towards integrated and well-defined pan-Arctic observing networks that enable access to high quality data, expertise and information in support of scientific
understanding, local needs, and agency operations. Slide11

Success story for collaborative observing; diverse & utilizedSlide19
But even a powerful approach can struggle in the ArcticSlide20
The Arctic is DifferentSlide21
The Arctic is Different
GOOS had 3 principle research communities to work with – the Arctic has vastly more;
Technical and other
accessiblity
constraints do hamper observing; (high seas versus
eez’s
);
Understanding what
obs
are widely valued and why and by
whom – many diverging and competing interests in the Arctic.Slide22

Emerging NOAA-led “Quick Wins”
Improved observational products for sea ice forecasting;Improved cyberinfrastructure for tracking ships and potentially other research infrastructure that might interfere with subsistence use areas;Improved biogeochemistry products for fisheries management.Slide30
US AON & SAONLeadership and Vision Challenge
Authoratative and resourced leadership bodies;Capacity building among research communities that don’t have strong research networks;Strong entrainment of networks
and user communities into sustained process dialog
;
Employing
