Building and Sustaining a Knowledge-Sharing Culture at The MITRE Corporation

Abstract

At The MITRE Corporation, the need to ensure that current work is leveraging the experience of the entire company is captured by the imperative to "bring the corporation to bear." Senior leaders introduced this phrase two decades ago - before the first release of the corporate intranet and before the use of programs labeled knowledge management, even though both of those soon were leveraged to reach the goal. The companys mission has been to be a partner to the United States government through the operation of Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, or FFRDCs. FFRDCs are committed to the mission of their prime government sponsor, provide a continuity of expertise, address problems of critical national importance, and provide independent evaluations. As a systems-engineering corporation, MITRE translates systems needs into requirements, defines capabilities that can then be developed by commercial contractors, conducts technical evaluations and cost/capability trade-offs, and explores technology that can open new ways of addressing a difficult objective.
