<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During this episode, Dr. Andy Whiskeyman and Dr. Mike Berger return to the podcast to discuss the importance of adequately resourcing operations in the information environment (OIE) activities. Financial disparities beget capability disparities and ultimately information effects disparities. To solve the problem, Mike Berger recommends leaders start with a mindset shift. Andy Whiskeyman believes that leaders need to modify expectations related to information effects; Andy also believes there’s an organizational component to solving the problem.</span></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Cognitive Crucible Podcast Episodes Mentioned</span> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-139"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">#139 Austin Branch and Andy Whiskeyman on Phoenix Challenge London</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-137"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">#137 Vic Garcia and Mike Berger on Information Operations and Intelligence</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-151"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">#151 Daniel Runde on Chinese Soft Power</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="2"><a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-150"> <span style="font-weight: 400;"
