Steal This Idea! - Government Edition

Paul Taylor, Ph.D., Chief Strategy Officer, Center for Digital Government

Information Technology is a daunting challenge in the best of times, and it is even more difficult today as governments face tightening finances and diminishing revenues. Under such circumstances, the smart thing to do is look for opportunities to borrow ideas from other jurisdictions who have demonstrated savings of time and money in solving major service delivery challenges. But where to look? There are 94,731 city, county and state governments across our nation. This fascinating session provides - at a pace not unlike a 3-day tour of Europe - the best of hundreds of nominees and dozens of winners from the Center for Digital Government's intensive national surveys of best and emerging practices in the public sector IT community. Be prepared to borrow an idea... or 10.

The Changing Face of Southern California

Ron Crouch, Director, State Data Center, University of Louisville

The population is changing fast. It is getting older, more diverse and much more demanding. You have heard some of the facts and trends, but not all. In this session, nationally known demographic expert Ron Crouch will reveal the results of his research and his vision for the future. He will answer such vital questions as: Who are the citizens of tomorrow and what will they demand from government? What new challenges are facing government in the years ahead? Is the population becoming more or less educated and skilled? How does the Southern California region compare to the rest of the country? This session is guaranteed to provide some real surprises and Mr. Crouch's candor and humor keep things lively.
