Building a 21st Century Government
Agency CIOs are focused on enabling a “future ready” workforce equipped with the modern tools and technologies needed to serve the American people effectively, and to close the productivity gap between the private sector and the Federal Government. This includes initiatives around smart telework policies that give employees increased flexibility and better enabling the Government to function more effectively during an emergency. Other objectives aim at ensuring the Government thinks more strategically about how it purchases, manages, and uses mobile devices and collaboration tools more cost-effectively and securely. Finally, in building for the future, the Federal Government needs a Digital Strategy that embraces the opportunity to innovate more with less, enables entrepreneurs to better leverage government data , and which reduces barriers to citizen and business interaction with the Government.
