Roadmap to Succeed in the Open for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's Human Development Directorate

Cortney Weinbaum, Richard S. Girven, Arthur Chan

ToolPublished Sep 26, 2017

In this tool, RAND researchers provide the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)'s Human Development Directorate with a roadmap for how employees can succeed in the open — that is, work anywhere in the world while having access to the information, resources, and functions they need to do their jobs. This roadmap provides an actionable plan for overcoming the technological, legal, policy, financial, and security hurdles to achieving NGA's missions outside of secure and classified environments. This roadmap is the result of more than 40 interviews with leaders across NGA and a review of research data and lessons learned from other organizations.
