Unprecedented Scale and Complexity of Problems – Some from human numbers and resource exploitation
– Failure to solve them can lead to disasters
– Require long-term commitments from diverse sectors of society and disciplines • simple, unidimensional solutions unlikely;
– Solutions will be iterative
– Institutions can enable more impact and sustain efforts in ways that individuals cannot.
From “Science to Sustain Society,” by Ralph J. Cicerone, President,
National Academy of Sciences, 149th Annual Meeting of the Academy (2012)

Enabling Long-term, Productive Use of Natural Resources
• Neither the state nor the market is uniformly successful
• Communities have relied on institutions to govern some resource systems
Eleanor Ostrom, Governing the Commons: The Evolution of Institutions for Collective Action, p. 1

. . . expanding the “pie” and enabling systems transformation
. . . anticipating and mitigating externalities and catastrophic systems failures

Defining stakeholder alignment . . .
“The extent to which interdependent stakeholders orient and connect with one another
to advance their separate and shared interests.”
A simplified conceptual framework . . .
Culture
Behavior
Strategy Structure
![Page 8: EarthCube Stakeholder Alignment Survey - End-Users & Professional Societies Workshop](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/553b8428550346e0478b45b0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Preliminary Findings on Formation
• Visibility of stakeholder interests accelerates dialogue and alignment
• Shared vision of success enables faster/more robust forms of alignment (Strategy)
• Internal alignment within stakeholder groups enables lateral alignment across stakeholders (Structure)
• Alignment initially based on trust; sustaining requires new structural arrangements (forums, roles, incentives, etc.) (Culture/Structure)
![Page 9: EarthCube Stakeholder Alignment Survey - End-Users & Professional Societies Workshop](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/553b8428550346e0478b45b0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preliminary Findings on Operations. . .
• Requires leadership based on influence, more than authority (Behavior)
• “Over specified” or “under specified” forums are ineffective – minimum critical specifications (Structure)
• Primary lever for change is “middle-out” (protocols and standards) not top-down or bottom-up (Strategy/Structure)
• Failure to deliver on individual/collective interests erodes alignment and systems success (Overall)

The vision. . .
“Over the next decade, the geosciences community commits to developing a framework to understand and predict responses of the Earth as a system—from the space-atmosphere boundary to the core, including the influences of humans and ecosystems.”– GEO Vision Report of NSF Geoscience
Directorate Advisory Committee, 2009
![Page 12: EarthCube Stakeholder Alignment Survey - End-Users & Professional Societies Workshop](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/553b8428550346e0478b45b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Potential failure modes. . . • Unrealistic or misaligned expectations • “Build it and they will come”• Not valuing current cyber/geo efforts and initiatives• Not advancing the frontier – just automating
current state• Not engaging the 200,000+ geoscience and cyber
stakeholders not yet involved in EarthCube• Not anticipating the needs of the next generation
(students, post docs)• Unknown unknowns (transformational changes in
technology, policy, etc.)

Support for EarthCube specifying guidelinesSupport for guidelines using international standards
The EarthCube initiative should specify guidelines so there is more interoperability and uniformity in discovering, accessing, sharing, and disseminating geoscience data. (v99)Where such standards exist, EarthCube should use formal, internationally approved, geoscience-wide data access/sharing standards and protocols (e.g. ISO, OGC). (v100)
![Page 32: EarthCube Stakeholder Alignment Survey - End-Users & Professional Societies Workshop](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/553b8428550346e0478b45b0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

The complete survey (1544 respondents) is available for exploratory analysis via a new online interface:
The URL is http://maxim.ucsd.edu/ecsurvey1544 This version requires Silverlight plugin. As before, it will take a few minutes to load it the first time (because of the size of the survey data file).
There are also two additional versions http://maxim.ucsd.edu/openlinkpivot/survey1544.html
http://maxim.ucsd.edu/lobsterpot/0.9.32/survey1544.html These do not require a plugin, but these are experimental, and less robust than the first one.
