Government Executives Must Read

Government Executives must read this book to understand how to better manage and invest in technology. This very easy to read and non-technical book addresses issues facing government managers including: new procurement models, outsourcing , training and of course the rapid growth of internet use and on-line transactions. While based on the research done for February 1999 Governing article "Government Performance Project" the basic principles of standardization, strategic planning and naming a CIO are still valid for government organizations today. Katherine Barrett and Richard Greene do a good job of explaining why the old politics of siloed departments fails citizens today.
