Abstract This project proposes one possible solution to the information sharing and information processing problems within the intelligence community: include information professionals in each analytic division. By first creating a rough model of information and information sharing in the intelligence community and then comparing that model to one taken from information sharing practices in the corporate world, a new paradigm can be revealed which the intelligence community can use for further study. It is also of note that many of the successful corporations which utilize information effectively employ ideas first created by government policy, such as mandates within the Paperwork Reduction Act and various Executive Orders. These policies will also be reviewed for their impact on information in the corporate world and also for their reapplication in the world of intelligence.
