Tech Talent for 21st Century Government

The past decade has seen an incredible technological revolution. Ten years ago, smartphones and tablets hit the market for the first time. The wave of big data was still in its infancy. Ridesharing companies did not yet exist. Working in the cloud was still an experiment. Digital streaming was not realistic. The idea of cheap genomic screening was still far over the horizon. And given the additional advancements we expect to see from artificial intelligence, data science, quantum computing and more, the world as we know it is likely to be radically different in the next decade too.

Even with new life-changing innovations on the way, antiquated technical systems and approaches in the federal government frustrate employees and the American public alike. There has never been a more important time to enhance policy design and implementation, and bring digital, technological and innovation expertise into federal agencies.
