In the ‘GREAT GAME’…Wild Cards are the ‘WMD’ of unfolding

history

‘Who’ or ‘What’ is the dealer may be unknown until, even, after the Wild Card is dealt

When, and how many times, a Wild Card will be dealt, are always unknown.

- emerging issues, or- weak signals, or- the reason for thinking ‘outside the box’,

or- necessarily ‘wicked problems’.

jdsharries@aol.com

Wild Cards are- a happening that can’t be ignored*- proof that CBP, on its own, is** unwise- reminders that first responders to any Wild

Card are the survivors.- the main reason that leader-ship is**

insufficient * “a burst-transmission scenario”

**, at least,

Scenarios’Wild Cards-all are cause and effect of mash-ups

-description-summaries exist for ~ 30 %
