Provide guidance on involving the appropriate people in developing open government initiatives

Other Information:

DOI’s Open Government Framework provides guidance on involving the appropriate people in developing open government initiatives. The grey ring in Figure 4 indicates key employee groups that have expertise in specific technology, policy, and cultural areas of focus. In order to tap into knowledge within the Department and ensure mitigation of downstream challenges, DOI created an interdisciplinary, Department-wide leadership and planning team to help achieve its open government goals. DOI is utilizing the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Office of the Solicitor (SOL), Office of Communications (OCO), bureau personnel, Project Managers for key mission areas, and other Department staff as subject matter experts. In addition to leveraging existing governance boards, DOI’s long-range goal for open government is to institutionalize the fundamental philosophy of citizen engagement. Thus, communication and engagement may be sought throughout the DOI federal workforce as well as associated volunteers and partners.
