Information Sharing Strategy

Abstract

Recognizing the very real and profound necessity to improve information sharing, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has made accelerating and improving Intelligence Community information sharing one of his top priorities. The DNI has called on the Intelligence Community to transform its culture to one where the "responsibility to provide" information is a core tenet. A central principle is the recognition that information sharing is a behavior and not a technology. In the Intelligence Community, information sharing behavior is the act of exchanging intelligence information between collectors, analysts, and end users in order to improve national and homeland security. Information providers must make information accessible, available, and discoverable at the earliest point possible. This document lays out a strategy to establish this new culture and to share information better, both among those whose job it is to provide intelligence and with those who need intelligence to perform their missions--i.e., policy makers, war fighters, defenders of the homeland, and the officials who enforce our laws. Time is of the essence. Improvements must be made rapidly to build on recent progress and improve our ability to thwart the plans of our enemies and protect our values, people, institutions, and assets.
