SESSION ONE: INTEGRATION AT THE CUSTOMER LEVEL
The complex threat environment of the 21st century creates new vulnerabilities in non-traditional intelligence areas – financial, health, cyber, environmental, homeland security, etc. In addition, new collaborative technologies, open source and the proliferation of information systems are eroding the traditional division between intelligence “producer” and “customer.” As a consequence, there is a need to rethink the engagement model to broaden the customer base, deepen the relationships, and reengineer the systems and processes to make intelligence more relevant, timely and actionable.

SESSION TWO: COLLABORATIVE MISSION MANAGEMENT
The themes of integration and collaboration are simply the means to accomplish the mission. Since the establishment of the ODNI, various mission management models have been established in support of Counter Terrorism (NCTC), Counter Proliferation (NCPC), Counter Intelligence (NCIX), North Korea, Iran, and Cuba/Venezuela. In some ways, the Intelligence Community has always worked these issues, but now it is organizing and resourcing them with more focus.

SESSION THREE: TRANSFORMING COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The sheer volume of information available today – through clandestine and open sources – makes it exceedingly difficult to find the key pieces from which accurate conclusions can be made. Greater pressure is placed on the collection and analytic community because policymakers are making decisions at an accelerating pace and their demands for in-depth information are growing as well.

SESSION FOUR: INTEGRATING THE ENTERPRISE – PEOPLE, PROCESS, TECHNOLOGY
Customer support, mission management, and collection and analytic transformation require a solid foundation across the Intelligence Enterprise in terms of people, process, and technology. To this end, barriers to integration must be addressed through dramatically improved information sharing capabilities (governance, technology, management), improved business processes (planning, programming, budgeting and security clearance management), and changing the culture of the Intelligence Community to improve collaboration across organizational boundaries.
