Better Days
"What has really improved is a strong understanding that there are opportunities for better communication and information sharing, and some of them aren’t traditional," Fischer says. "The hard part is making the bureaucratic structure support that. But I think DHS would like to be faster and lighter and more agile in the water, and it is fighting a lot of institutional inertia that has built up in only a few years."
DHS KM specialists, vendors and academic observers are all expecting better days at DHS from a new administration. As one said anonymously, "You’re dealing with a techie president who promises more transparency, more sharing and a lot of stimulus money. I think we are on the forefront and things are going to change."
Even great cities comprise individual structures built more along avenues of opportunity than according to a master development plan. There is a plan, of course. The creation of the agency itself is a command to share.
