The recent disclosures of hundreds of thousands of US State Department diplomatic cables by Wikileaks have led CEOs, CIOs, and senior managers to ask, "How can I lock down my organization's information and make sure this doesn't happen to me?" But in some quarters, a question that is even more important is being asked: "What data and information that we've always considered confidential should we be making available online – and how could we leverage the disclosure of that information?"

This project will assess how companies, government agencies, and non-profit institutions that have embraced transparency have fared and what lessons they might have for other companies, which due to the nature of their business, government privacy and security regulations, and other constraints, follow more traditional information management practices. This project will address a range of questions and help clients develop the policies that are right for them.
