This report summarizes results from the first of four workshops organized to bring together New York state and local government CIOs to gather their input about whether and how the use of IT in support of government program and policy priorities could be enhanced within New York State through enhanced governance capability. The report begins with an introduction to the overall project as well as a brief description of the first workshop. The two sections that follow provide a high-level summary of the workshop activities and results; a full set of results can be found in the Appendix. The report also includes results from a second smaller workshop conducted in New York City with NYS agency CIOs based there. In the final section we present next steps in the process and provide an overview of the plan for the next workshop.
