Norman Lee Johnson Email & Phone Number

Dr. Johnson’s leadership in building and completing multidiscipline, multi-institutional projects started as a PostDoc at Los Alamos and continues to the present. Many of the projects he led received awards for their achievements – some cited as the most successful project in the institution's history, as measured by the breadth of utility, return on investment, and customer satisfaction. For Referentia, LANL, National Academies of Science, the Dept of Homeland Security, and volunteer services, Dr. Johnson’s approach is to serve the Nation and public, utilizing system-wide and sustainable solutions that integrate the best approaches assembled in a transparent and defensible manner, inclusive of all stakeholders. His technical research and applications span many areas: the origin of consciousness - particularly in AI systems, data-driven cybersecurity, quantitative risk assessment methods, agent-based modeling (ABM), numerical methods in fluid dynamics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, modeling of hydrogen combustion, and multiphase flow simulations.His "non-physics" research in the last 30 years focuses on mechanisms of performance and situational awareness in collective systems and models for behavior and decision-making in collective systems, particularly from bottom-up, emergent processes.He is a sought-after public speaker on the importance of diversity in governments, universities, financial markets, and cultures and as a group facilitator for public and academic decision-making. He is currently an officer on two nonprofit boards serving New Mexico. The figure in the paper below "The Where-How of Leadership Emergence (WHOLE) Landscape: Charting Emergent Collective Leadership" shows how the traditional approaches to leadership (left side) can be expanded to include new collective forms of leadership (right side) that radically change business and society.
