2.1: Collaboration
Fully stand up an IC collaboration center to provide practical guidance and assistance in deploying collaborative pilots and
expand- ing them Community-wide.
Other Information:
Collaboration will require a consistent and costly effort to deploy collaborative tools and focus on overcoming cultural and
business process obstacles. 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 road map 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.
