Can We Share? Getting Agencies to Give-Up Their Data
Today’s blog is about “information sharing” – it’s all the rage! You can’t pick up a trade magazine or newspaper without reading about it. Every agency wants to do it. Want better national security? Community safety? You’ll need effective data sharing to be successful. Even though the technology and processes exist to make it a reality, most projects are still missing the most critical success factor of all…namely, THE DATA.
After studying data sharing projects for more than eight years, I found that every data sharing project is still missing information critical to addressing operational goals. What’s needed is a strategy to address the political and cultural issues surrounding data sharing efforts so that those who hold the data feel comfortable and willing to share ALL of their data.
I’m currently working on a set of tools to help address this problem. The tool kit will include:
-
Five critical success factors for getting agencies to give-up all of their shareable data
-
Three ways to deal with executives on issues of trust, security and privacy
-
How to use a “shift-the-burden” strategy for dealing with politics and culture
