Don Burke, Intellipedia Doyen, and Sean Dennehy, Intellipedia Evangelist introduced the enterprise 2.0 approach of the CIA at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston. A very good presentation especially for those people who would like to introduce a concept that “like Wikipedia doesn’t work in theory, but works in practice” as Sean quoted.
I particularly appreciated the three principles outlined by Don and Sean:
1. Work at the broadest audience possible
2. Think topically, not organisationally
3. Replace existing business processes (move day-to-day practices to the tools)
Some questions remain:
How good is the active participation of the intelligence community across the globe (more than the 1% that one would expect)?
Which change management efforts were necessary to replace existing processes and to think topically?
