Department of Justice

Challenge

In an effort to streamline and integrate the efforts of U.S. federal government agencies to enhance national security and fight terrorism, the Department of Justice Terrorism and Violent Crime Section sought support in the development of its Inter-agency Counter-terrorism and Technology Crime Five-Year Plan.

Solution

Success required the engagement of over 300 executive-level representatives from various federal agencies to assess their respective domestic and foreign counter-terrorism efforts. Services also included the delivery of research support and data gathering using a combination of documentation review, interviews and small- and large-group process exercises.

Results

Together, IPI and the Department of Justice established inter-agency commitment to counter-terrorism collaboration and better alignment of resources. Process innovations and programs were presented in formal reports to the Deputy Attorney General, which culminated in an Inter-agency Counter-terrorism and Technology Crime Five-Year Plan.
