A second paper to the AGLN testing some ideas about leadership and technology in the public sector.
“In the context of government and the public sector, the job of technology is to both disrupt and sustain, to create dramatic new possibilities for efficiency and productivity, for empowerment and engagement and for genuine and genuine participation in the business of governing. But its value will derive from the ability to line up technology’s potential and promise with the distinctive work of politicians, public servants and other ‘public purpose” participants. Technology has to embed itself in the routine, culture and structures of the public sector even as it inevitably works to disrupt them.”
