Information securely, rapidly, and reliably delivered to our stakeholders.

Other Information:

DESCRIPTION: Information is an asset used by the public to comprehend the myriad activities performed by the Federal Government. It is also an internal asset to be leveraged across the single, unified enterprise to improve processes, support decision-making, document agency activities, and enable accurate reporting. The effective functioning of our constitutional democracy depends upon the participation in public life of a well-informed citizenry, thus information must be readily available to them, and information must be shared among agencies as well, in order to maximize the effectiveness of business decision-making throughout the Federal Government and beyond to external partners. The Federal CIO Council supports timely and equitable delivery of Government information and services transcending organizational and geographic barriers. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS: - All agencies begin to document their architectures in conformance with DRM 2.0. - All of the e-Gov and Lines of Business (LoB) project management offices have fully documented the data architecture in conformance with the XML schema for DRM 2.0. - Agencies begin to use DRM to fulfill obligations of the e-Gov act sub-section 207(d) to make agency information readily available to the citizens. SUCCESS STORY: Extensive research was conducted by the Knowledge Management (KM) Working Group of the Federal CIO Council in 2005 and 2006 to determine the status of the implementation of KM practices in U.S. Federal agencies. The research determined the factors that influence the success of KM practices within Federal agencies - e.g., the size of the agency, whether the agency is a Cabinet-level department or an independent agency, the longevity of established KM Practices in the agency, whether or not the agency had adopted an effective KM policy or strategy, and whether the primary responsibility for KM practices was directed by a Chief Knowledge Officer or KM unit (as opposed to another type of functional unit in the agency, such as Information Technology or Human Resources).The results of the research will be used over the next several years for a number of purposes including: serving as a source of best practices and opportunities for improvement in KM practices; serving as a basis for identifying knowledge, skill, and competency gaps, with a view to developing a comprehensive KM blueprint for the Federal sector; serving as a basis for demonstrating the relationships between effective KM practices and improved individual and organizational performance; and serving as a basis for follow-on and spin-off research projects.
