1.1: Recognition and Leverage

Recognize and leverage the Information Sharing Value Chain.

Other Information:

The Information Sharing Value Chain articulates the “opportunity” of information sharing to support informed decision making, shared situational awareness and improve knowledge at every level of the DoD. The risks encountered at each step of the information sharing value chain must be managed to mitigate negative consequences. Throughout history, the supply of and demand for information triggers the inter-related processes of information collection, processing, analysis, and integration to make informed decisions, increase situational awareness, or improve and manage knowledge. Regardless of the mission domain, community or organization‟s unique processes for managing information, the universal Information Sharing Value Chain ... remains the same – to discover and collect information and continuously add value at each stage to best inform a decision maker. The strategic shift (opportunity) for the Department‟s information sharing is to create the governance, policy, technology, culture and economics that promote all aspects of the Information Sharing Value Chain and facilitate the access, sharing and integration of information such that the DoD has freedom of maneuverability.
