Download Workshop Agenda

As a transformative agent, technology may take many forms: enhanced citizen services, the opening of government, increased participation in governance, and greater democracy. Building a vision for that transformation is a foundational step toward change. With a vision to guide action, governments must then ensure they have the infrastructure and capability necessary to achieve that transformation. Critical elements must be in place, including information policies, governance frameworks, interoperability standards, public value projections, and organizational capability assessments.

The Center for Technology in Government brought together experts on technology innovation from academia, government, and Microsoft Corporation to present visionary perspectives on the role of technology in government transformation. Government officials who attended the workshop were able to engage with these global leaders to discuss the transformative role of technology and how they can apply these concepts in practical ways within their countries.
