New Tools for Collaboration: The Experience of the U.S. Intelligence Community

Submitted by on Fri, 01/29/2016 - 10:39

The purpose of this report is to learn lessons by looking at the use of internal collaborative tools across the Intelligence Community. The initial rubric was tools, but the real focus is collaboration, for while the tools can enable, what ultimately matters are policies and practices interacting with organizational culture. It looks for good practices to emulate. The ultimate question is how and how much could, and should, collaborative tools foster integration across the Community.

Submitted by on Thu, 03/12/2009 - 20:00

This research draws lessons from three years of a RAND Graduate School course, Hybrid Governance. It lays out a framework for evaluating when public-private partnerships should be sought and what kind of partnerships should be forged or encouraged. Partnerships come in many sizes and shape, and they need to be understood at three levels: how they affect the partners; their impact on the social weal; and their longer-term strategic implications.
