Institute For The Future (IFTF)

• ... IFTF has partnered with the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) on a project called MMOWGLI—massively multiplayer online war game leveraging the intern.

• The first pilot for MMOWGLI launches on May 16 [2011] with a reseach scenario of Somali piracy. MMOWGLI goes a step further than IFTF's earlier platforms that focused on rapid-fire ideation by hundreds and even thousands of players. This pilot also tests the potential to turn complex chains of crowdsourced ideas into more robust plans of action, to support self-organizing strategic teams and even networks, to expand the traditional mandate of the wargame to include diverse participants from beyond the military, and to consider responses to the Somali pirate situation that go beyond the kinetic solutions at sea.
