2.2.1: DOI Open Government Framework

Adopt a comprehensive lifecycle management approach to help plan and implement the business process transformations required to achieve the open government initiatives

Other Information:

Open government represents a shift in the way Federal Agencies conduct business and engage with the public. DOI has adopted a comprehensive lifecycle management approach to help plan and implement the business process transformations required to achieve the open government initiatives. DOI’s Open Government Framework, shown below, includes the program lifecycle phases, crucial areas of assessment, and the key players involved in the planning and executing of DOI’s open government efforts. DOI’s Open Government Framework includes a comprehensive management process spanning the entire programmatic lifecycle from the initial assessment and planning phases to performance measurement and processes improvement. Additionally, the framework includes methods for identifying, understanding, and addressing DOI’s technology, policy, and cultural issues in relation to specific open government initiatives: Key technology areas of focus: security, infrastructure, tools, enterprise architecture, and current open government pilots and programs; Key policy areas of focus: strategic planning, performance, legal, internal directives, acquisition, and privacy; and Key culture areas of focus: employee readiness, communication channels, stakeholders, and existing and emerging public collaboration vehicles. DOI recognizes that open government is about more than tools and technology. DOI’s Open Government Plan is meant to be inclusive of the Open Government Directive’s requirements, yet flexible enough to ensure success and mitigate risks throughout the program lifecycle by carefully considering factors within technology, policy, mission, and culture that relate to each open government initiative.
