Organizational cultures across the ISE vary widely, and information sharing is not viewed across the board as a
required behavior. To promote a shared awareness of the ISE and encourage such behavior, on July 16, 2008, the PM-ISE
issued the ISE Core Awareness Training Course to Federal departments and agencies. The course is intended to give a
common understanding of the ISE to all employees who support the counterterrorism mission. This training, coupled with
continued efforts to include information sharing as a formal evaluation factor in personnel performance reports and
agency incentive programs, is designed to help move the traditional "need to know" culture to one based on a
"responsibility to provide."
