The Office of the Director of National Intelligence recently released its 2014 Strategy Roadmap, which can be found here.
From the ODNI press release:
Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper unveiled last week the 2014 National Intelligence Strategy – the blueprint that will drive the priorities for the nation’s 17 intelligence community (IC) components over the next four years. The National Intelligence Strategy (NIS) is one of the most important documents for the IC as it sets forth the strategic environment, sets priorities and objectives, and focuses resources on current and future budgets, acquisitions and operations decisions. Most importantly, the strategy builds on the success achieved with integrating intelligence since the previous NIS, as demonstrated by both high-profile operational achievements and significant enterprise improvements.The National Intelligence Strategy identifies the intelligence community's mission objectives and its enterprise objectives. The 7 mission objectives are strategic intelligence, anticipatory intelligence, current operations, cyber intelligence, counterterrorism, counterproliferation, and counterintelligence. The 6 enterprise objectives are integrated mission management, integrated enterprise management, information sharing and safeguarding, innovation, our people, and our partners. Also, "for the first time, The National Intelligence Strategy includes the seven “Principles of Professional Ethics for the Intelligence Community,” which were published in September 2012: 1) mission; 2) truth; 3) lawfulness; 4) integrity; 5) stewardship; 6) excellence; and 7) diversity."
