2.1: Collaboration
Collaboration will require a consistent and costly effort to deploy collaborative tools and focus on overcoming cultural and
business process obstacles.
Other Information:
We need to link analysts to collectors, customers, and forward-deployed analysts in a collaborative environment by 2005. Implementing
Actions: • Establish an IC collaboration center, under an executive agent, with contractor and Intelligence Community staffing,
to lay out a roadmap to move from pilots to enterprise and IC-wide deployment. The center will focus on integrating programs,
technology, improved processes, and human resources across the enterprise to meet the challenges of federated, knowledge management
in a collaborative environment; mapping, testing, and recommending improvements to community analysis and production processes
in key business areas; identifying metrics and codifying best practices; and, facilitating the integration of advanced analytic
tools and methods into production processes. • Fund and study additional collaboration pilots through FY 2003, with a view
to migrating toward common IC standards that will allow interoperability. • Pursue more extensive interoperability testing
of current tools and identify a strategy for providing IC-wide collaboration by FY 2003. • Advance security issues to enable
collaborative analysis during FY 2001. • Deploy collaborative tools within NIPB programs to create a critical mass of experienced
users. By FY 2003, tools should be available on the desktops of all analysts in the large national analytic agencies, and
should be available to all NIPB analysts by FY 2005.
