Cold war secrec y created a need-to-know culture that impeded unofficial information sha ring. State’s diplomatic corps is selected for risk aversion and trained to obtain many clearances and authorizations before officially transmit ting information internally. \;\n \;\nThen the end of the Cold Wa r was followed by the East Africa embassy bombings and 9/11. The paradig m shifted. The lack of information sharing and collaboration meant that puzzle pieces remain scattered and threats were unidentified. In this sh ift\, the State Department’s office of eDiplomacy was born. \;\n 3\;\nCome find out how State Department has embraced lightweight social media tools behind the firewall to move from a need-to-know culture to n eed-to-share one. \;\n \;\nMeet Richard Boly\, Director of eDiplom acy\, US Department of State \;\nRichard Boly is a career U.S. diplom at and currently the Director of the Office of eDiplomacy\, an applied t echnology think tank for the United States Department of State.
