# Narrative Information Management

**Richard J. Cordes, Shaun Applegate-Swanson, Daniel A. Friedman, Virginia Bleu Knight, Alexandra Mikhailova** (2021) · Cognitive Security

## Instructions

Use this skill when working with topics related to **Narrative Information Management, NIM, collective sensemaking, knowledge management**.

When applying this skill:
1. Apply Narrative Information Management (NIM) principles
1. Design information systems for collective sensemaking
1. Synthesize knowledge management approaches across diverse domains

## Key Concepts

- **Narrative Information Management**
- **NIM**
- **collective sensemaking**
- **knowledge management**
- **information systems**
- **cognitive load**
- **interdisciplinary synthesis**

## Methods & Techniques

- Conducts a literature review on information-focused disciplines to identify impactful system features.
- Analyzes challenges faced by various fields in managing information and sensemaking.
- Synthesizes common features of NIM systems from diverse domains.
- Explores domain-specific challenges and ad-hoc solutions related to information dynamics.

## Key Findings

- Identifies the need for a common ontology to facilitate information exchange among disciplines.
- Highlights the impact of cognitive overload on decision-making and sensemaking.
- Demonstrates that effective NIM systems can enhance situational awareness and decision-making.
- Recommends further exploration of NIM applications in fields like personal finance, genomics, and neuroscience.

## Prerequisites

- Information security and risk management
- Cognitive science and sensemaking frameworks
