4.2: Internal Collaboration
Collaborate internally at the Department Other Information:
Improving the speed with which information is shared with other agencies is one of our key goals. This kind of collaboration
is especially important when dealing with such vital topics as counterterrorism, international crime, law enforcement, and
emergency response. The ambassador at an embassy overseas must be able to collaborate and communicate reliably with all Americans
working inside and outside the embassy. A cornerstone of our approach to achieving this goal is the development of a Foreign
Affairs Network (FAN). The FAN will provide other US agencies operating at posts overseas with a standard configuration of
hardware, software, and telecommunications to enable access to Department IT resources as well as home agency capabilities.
http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/pix/at_work/ The Department welcomes feedback from other agencies and the public. State wants
to hear of innovative ideas for enhancing collaboration. The Department will use IdeaScale to solicit feedback on the Department's
Open Government Plan. IdeaScale will also be used to continue to solicit feedback on how the Department can enable public
dialogue and a more open government.
