Organizational culture is made up of the values, ethics, and behaviors that contribute to the environment of an agency. The culture of an organization consists of its inner day-to-day operations and interactions with those stakeholders outside the agency. In the past, the lack of intelligence and information sharing has been a constant concern for those within and external to the intelligence community (IC).

• Describe the culture of the CIA.
• Do you think the culture of the CIA should be changed?
  • If so, what aspect of the culture would you change? How would you implement such a change?
  • If you do not think the culture of the CIA should change, explain why you think this.
