The Intelligence Community Writes the Book on Collaboration [SIGNAL magazine, November 2009]
The Intellipedia suite of collaboration tools is years ahead of most other organizations—public or private sectorChange is never easy, and that is particularly true in government. When it comes to collaboration, it is the intelligence community that has been evolving and testing its own boundaries.

Finally, if you want an interesting read, I highly recommend Harvard Business School Prof. Andrew McAfee’s new book, Enterprise 2.0: New Collaborative Tools for Your Organization’s Toughest Challenges, which uses Intellipedia as an enterprise 2.0, collaboration case study. The book will be formally released on Dec. 1 — and he will join us on Dec. 1 on Federal News Radio 1500 AM’s Daily Debrief with Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris.
