Expertise Sharing Opportunities in the Public Sector

In considering collaborative expertise sharing applications in the Government Sector, it is helpful to identify the agencies which interact with one another to make a particular process effective. This analysis often identifies opportunities to build collaborative relationships between individuals or organizations, that have never before been directly linked, or to improve existing relationships. The ability to systematically and intelligently mediate collaboration across organizations and functions, can have tremendous impact on responsiveness, effectiveness, and efficiency. This is the transformational power of expertise sharing and collaboration of the 21st Century.

Our analysis of the public sector reveals one common denominator in the wide range of federal agency missions and services. Most agencies manage “case work” in their conduct of government to citizen (G2C) and government to business (G2B) services. Several examples:

• IRS – tax returns for individuals, corporations or non-profit entities.
• Treasury – financial transactions under scrutiny for violations.
• Homeland Security – citizenship applications and immigration services.

There are other case management examples in government to government (G2G) and government to federal employee (G2E) initiatives:

• Defense – minimizing the downtime from repairs to military aircraft around the world.
• Advanced IT support for federal IT systems, as consolidation strategies are pursued.
• Training programs for individual employees.
• Capture and knowledge preservation in the case work of retiring federal workers.
