October 19, 2011, Canestraro and Werthmuller to Conduct Workshop On Designing a Mobile Strategy ▼

To help agencies formulate their strategic plans for devloping citizen-facing mobile capacities, the US General Services Administration (GSA) has asked CTG to conduct a workshop for federal government professionals. While many government professionals see mobile as the way of the future, they also recognize that such change requires a broad-ranging strategic approach enabling the transformation to be as effective and beneficial as possible. A strategic framework positions mobile technologies within the larger organizational context of policy, management, business practices, and mission. During the workshop, the participants will review and discuss a high level strategic planning approach to gain a better understanding of what citizen-facing mobile government entails and what challenges arise when implementing it.
This workshop supports GSA's Making Mobile Gov Project.
