************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: 3E_Project@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Harvard "Cross-Boundary" E-Government Program: $1000 scholarship We have three $1000 scholarship opportunities for those in government seeking to participate in the "Cross-Boundary E-Government: Designing Successful Projects" program to be held at Harvard this May 12, 13, and 14. Maybe one of these should be yours. The scholarships will go to the top three examples we receive of existing or planned cross-boundary e-government initiatives. While public-private partnerships will be explored at the workshop, the examples we are looking for here should involve public-public partnerships -- i.e., cooperation among multiple independent public programs, departments, and/or jurisdictions. Good examples should illustrate lessons of good practice on cross-boundary work that would be instructive for those seeking to design or implement similar initiatives. Please attach a description of your example in 500 words or less (but footnotes and/or web links are acceptable) to your application and email it to 3e_project@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or fax it to 617.495.8228. The general application can be downloaded at http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/exec_ed/3e. The deadline for submissions is Monday April 14. The winners will be announced Monday April 21st. We look forward to your work, and good luck! The workshop itself promises to be timely, useful, and interesting. Faculty and speakers in addition to myself will include: Lynda Applegate (HBS), Warren McFarlan (HBS), Dan Greenwood (MIT), Steve Kolodney (AMS), Peter Quinn (Massachusetts), Elaine Kamarck (KSG), Hannah Riley (KSG), Ron Heifetz (KSG), Dave McClure (CEG), Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger (KSG), Jim Van Wert (SBA), Richard Varn (former CIO, Iowa), and Jack Donahue (KSG). In addition, the Red Sox are in town and we promise good weather ( . . . well, take that last one with a grain of salt.) Looking forward to hearing from you.
