Key Assignment Draft

Section 9: Interagency Process

This week, you will outline the potential for improved whole-of-government, interagency coordination among domestic and international partners. In this section of your Key Assignment, you will identify the framework for a possible policy planning effort that would serve as a catalyst for improved multiagency, cross-governmental cooperation and collaboration at the SWB.

Draft a 2-page road map, similar to the plan of action and milestones (POA&M) or concept of operations (CONOPS). Be sure to include the following:

Propose steps to significantly raise the level of coordination among the constellation of interagency players at the SWB.
Draw from your case study, NSWBCN Strategy, and the Patriot Act to formulate a plan of action that leverages existing capabilities and introduces new ideas.
Identify at least 3 specific examples of potential for improvement versus transformation. For example, there are several coordination centers with overlapping missions that are colocated at the SWB that appear redundant.
Include useful and appropriate bibliographic references.
Review the Key Assignment descriiption in the Week 1 Individual Project.
