I think the USD/I (General Clapper) sees a lack of collaboration as one of the biggest challenges facing the IC/MI. It is what motivated the powers that be to give him his dual role as Defense Intelligence Director and why his office is co-sponsoring the big IC conference that will take place in New Orleans this August where the goal will be to get decision makers and warfighters in the same room with analysts and requirements and collections managers for some open and honest dialog. If they are successful, it could be a watershed moment that just might result in better collaboration. The conference is aptly named “Synergy ’07.” Go to www.ncsi.com.
