3: Collaboration

Migrate to a standard platform for collaboration.

Other Information:

COLLABORATION: TOOLS TO ENHANCE TEAMWORK - The Department has been a long-time user of collaboration tools, ranging from instant messaging to document sharing and wikis. These tools are used within the Department across the globe and by partners inside and outside of government to promote effectiveness, transparency and innovation. We are also undertaking a long-term plan to migrate to a standard platform for collaboration for maximizing efficiency and utility. The Wikified Army Field Guide is among the most interesting and innovative initiatives. It is giving battle-tested military personnel at every level direct input into the revision of manuals for Army tactics, techniques and procedures, creating a more effective end product for our soldiers. Also noteworthy are collaboration platforms used to support rescue and relief efforts, for example after the Haiti earthquake in January 2010. We helped coordinate work both inside and outside the Department using the All Partners Access Network and Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation (TISC) tool, two innovative solutions developed within the Department for use in specifically these sorts of situations.
