oration would look like if a formal graphic based on system dynamic modeling were used it would also be nice to compare google docs to a wiki which has been suggested by others anybody feel like

friday april 4 2008 the director of national intelligence release the first ever united states intelligence community information sharing strategy the document outlines the compelling need to transform from a need to know to responsibility to provide culture as outlined in the 2005 national intelligence strategy and sets out a stategy and implementation agenda with goals objectives and initiatives many of these initiatives mirror and incorporate those identified in the 2008 dni 500 day plan for integration and collaboration the strategy aligns with other existing policy law and recommendations to improve information sharing following the september 11 2001 terrorist attacks such as the 2007 dni intelligence community policy memorandum 2007 200 2 dealing with responsibility to provide 2007 national strategy for information sharing 2007 dod information sharing strategy 2007 dni 100 day plan for integration and collaboration 2005 executive order 13388 2005 memorandum for the heads of executive departments and agencies 2005 wmd commission report 2004 intelligence reform and terrorism prevention act and the 2004 9 11 commission report all of these documents contribute to a growing policy foundation for creating and sustaining a more collaborative intelligence commununity tags policy strategy posted in collaboration dni information sharing leave a comment dni releases the 500 day plan for integration and collaboration october 16 2007 on october 10 2007 the director of national intelligence dni released the 500 day plan for integration and collaboration this plan builds upon the 100 day plan released back in april 2007 the plans focus on the following key areas 1 creating a culture of collaboration 2 accelerating information sharing 3 fostering collection and analytic transformation 4 building acquisition excellence and technology leadership 5 modernizing business practices and 6 clarifying and aligning dni authorities each of the focus areas has a set of core and enabling initiatives 1 core treat diversity as a strategic mission imperative implement civilian ic joint duty program enabling formalize national intelligence university improve recruiting hiring and retention of heritage americans develop an intelligence enterprise exercise program improve foreign language capability strengthen recruiting relationships with colleges and universities complete design begin development of an ic performance based pay system catalog and connect ic human resource capabilities 2 core enhance intelligence information sharing policies processes and procedures enabling create a single information sharing environment implement attribute based access and discovery provide collaborative information technology to non ic partners and establish a single community classification guide 3 core create collaborative environment for all analysts establish national intelligence coordination center enabling develop common standards and guidance for humint activities strengthen foreign intelligence relationships expand hard target integrated collection strategies develop ic wide collection management tools strengthen analytic tradecraft across the community improve and expand use of the national intelligence priorities framework and strengthen science and technology analysis capabilities 4 core implement acquisition improvement plan enabling build an ic technology transition plan complete the stand up of the iarpa establish a systems engineering and arhitecture group and develop an agile acquisition requirements process 5 core modernize the security clearance process and align strategy budget and capabilities through a strategic enterprise management system enabling analyze and improve ic relationships with clients collaborate to protect privacy and civil liberties identify a common core human resources information system and improve the it certification and accreditation process 6 core update policy documents clarifying and aligning ic authorities enabling define director of defense intelligence authorities roles and responsibilities update dod intelligence agency charters develop a capstone ic doctrine and lexicon foster integration and collaboration in the ic legal community harmonize ic policy on u s person information revise and enhance the national intelligence policy process and submit annual intelligence authorization act proposal what stuck out to me was the creation of the national intelligence coordination center nic c i am wondering how this will fit in with the defense joint intelligence operations center djioc and joint functional component command for intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance jfcc isr which seem to have a similar integrating function for collection operations regardless i like the plan and the dni s continued focus on ic integration and collaboration is outstanding and beginning to make a real difference if half of this 500 day plan gets implemented it would be great i believe it will under dni mcconnell s leadership posted in collaboration dni information sharing uncategorized 1 comment ussocom and usstratcom as synchronizers july 20 2007 the reorganization that made the united states special operations command ussocom and united states strategic command usstratcom synchronizers and supported commands for the global war on terror gwot and combating weapons of mass destruction cwmd missions respectively has advantages and disadvantages tension between functionally and regionally structured organizations has been a long standing issue for the unified commands a better model may have been developed by applying some fresher perspectives taken from organization theory and modern global business practices particularly important is a dynamic and networked structure that utilizes information technology to help knit the entire enterprise together for example the current model assumes a single synchronizer is needed to centralize and synchronize a mission or function such as gwot however it may have been better to give the geographic combatant commanders dual hats for executing this mission and make them mutually responsible for executing global gwot operations with the functional commands supporting them this way the authorities are there for mutual responsibility and accountability and action to degrade the network as a cohesive network if operating off the same information networks the planners analysts and operators across the commands and organizations could self synchronize at the global network level but this would require these teams to all be operating off the same picture and interlinking and integrating their information with the same same networks and tools additional simple tools such as blogs wikis and tags could go a long way toward knitting the unified commands together this does not mean however that ussocom would not take a lead role in synchronizing the gwot in reality the supported supporting model needs to be abandoned in its current form and instead needs to imitate many to many and joint relationships that better reflect reality nevertheless the real question is how do we enable the entire national security apparatus the interagency to rapidly and effectively integrate and synchronize their activity in the future it may be wise to consider creating interagency constructs which are networked and that can integrate synchronize and task across all organizational lines at the strategic operational level for now it may be prudent to begin taking a closer look at the current relationship structure of the commands in doing so we should abandon old organizational assumptions and enable the development of a flexible enterprise fit for today s age by applying new forms of interorganizational linkages and collaboration tools obviously other elements will need to be addressed beyond structure such as technology culture and performance posted in collaboration organization theory leave a comment intellipedia july 16 2007 intellipedia is a wiki launched by the office of the director of national intelligence it is used by all 16 u s intelligence agencies and other national security related organizations such as combatant commands three versions exist on each of the networks by classification top secret jwics secret siprnet and sensitive but unclassified intelink u niprnet unlike wikipedia all edits are attributable it was launched with the intent of helping the entire intelligence community share information collaborate and integrate their knowledge dynamically into issue based articles essentially becoming a community of analysts it has grown tremendously since i began using the tool in november 2006 i have pushed very hard getting co workers to use intellipedia and adopt it into their daily practices helping develop training courses training users and developing methodologies to use the tool for formal planning purposes suprisingly i have had great success in getting intelligence planners to use it for formal planning efforts such as developing requirements and conplans slowly the national security community is beginning to use this tool and beginning to transform some of the ways business is done using it originally i was more active on the unclassified version and recently became an intellipedia administrator i have begun to use the higher class versions more which oddly remain far more robust briefing and advocating its use to colleagues and senior leadership has had surprising variances in feedback colleagues are prone to the typical responses due to the culture shock asking how can you control your page so others can not view or edit it anybody can edit any page what if somebody posts bogus information what about need to know etc but surprisingly many are embracing its use particularly as the new need to share and responsibility to provide mantra being advocated by the director of national intelligence begins to trickle down also surprising is higher level leadership tend to be the most open to its use and understand its potential value in enabling the community as a whole to share what they know and discover what they don t and integrate and interlink their collective knowledge to a larget extent i believe this stems not only from their understanding of what our current collaborative capabilities lack but also their closeness and greater familiarity to these higher level policies demanding a more collaborative community a critical danger is that other agencies have begun to launch their own wikis while among enterprises multiple wikis may potentially serve a purpose no such rational exists for creating organization centric wikis among the security community this brings us back to the same stovepiping problem and detracts from the value of integrating knowledge from the entire community into a common wiki platform a number of security professionals including myself are beginning to tackle what and how exactly these web 2 0 tools such as wikis and blogs should be used for we are asking the question what processes should they complement supplant or rid entirely should they be used for formal and informal efforts and if so in what way defining this will be critical to getting more users to adopt these tools and more effectively achieve their mission posted in collaboration dni information sharing intellipedia web 2 0 1 comment my collaboration journey july 16 2007 for nearly a year now i have been trying to help the u s government make information sharing and collaboration a reality among the national security community i have been studying this topic and pursuing this goal since the september 11 2001 terrorist attacks however counter to what one might think my social software skills are minimal except for wikis as a matter of fact besides at my work i have only blogged a handful of times on the open internet from a research perspective however i have lightly perused the topic of information sharing the last five years beginning with my interest in the u s department of defense s proposed theory called network centric warfare see alberts and garstka 2001 it was not until a year ago however that i began to take interest in interorganizational collaboration from an academic perspective studying the various theoretical concepts associated with organization and management science my more scholarly journey began after i drafted a paper on the united states strategic command s usstratcom use of ski web a blog like tool advocated by the commander general james cartwright in this paper i argued the u s intelligence community and national security community at large could learn from usstratcom s use of blogs and decentralized organizational design i sent this paper for review to my former boss and friend at the pentagon that i had worked with as a summer intern in 2005 after reading the paper he wrote back a scathing critique of my utter lack of knowledge on organization theory and various theoretical concepts at the time i was really angered by this but the truth was my friend was right while i had perused literature on the internet i had no foundation in organizational studies from a scholarly perspective at the time i was just graduating with a degree in political science following my friend s critique which i am now very thankful for i began researching from a scholarly perspective how the u s intelligence and national security community could foster an environment of information sharing and collaboration this research interest also includes studying the private and other sectors i am now a graduate student studying management at the university of south florida and am an analyst for the u s department of defense where i am continuing this journey and for the first time i have a high degree of confidence that the u s government is making significant progress in its desire to foster a collaborative community particularly under the recent leadership of mike mcconnell director of national intelligence i hope to continue to help in this effort and apply my knowledge from my studies in organization theory and collaboration posted in collaboration dni information sharing organization theory leave a comment hello world july 16 2007 ok i finally got a blog to use outside of
