E-government may be uncharted territory for many in local government, but technology holds great potential for improving the way government works. Local and county governments are trying to realize this potential by finding the best ways to implement new technology. The lessons from their experiences are the focus of an executive briefing released by CTG in July.

The briefing, entitled Making a Case for Local E-Government, is the result of research into local experiences in planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating e-government initiatives. It draws from the insight, lessons, and stories shared by local e-government pioneers who participated in the CTG research program.
