Information Sharing, Collaboration and Open Government

Enabling transparency, collaboration and open communication through leading edge information technology, processes and governance.

As a key initiative of Government 2.0, information sharing, collaboration and open government programs can improve performance of mission delivery by enabling greater intra-agency and inter-agency collaboration, and citizen accessibility. Invoking these changes necessitates changes to traditional organizational structures, processes, systems, and culture which often times impede the flow of information and stress resources.
