Innovation in Government: How to Make the Public Sector Faster, Smarter and
More Connected
Wednesday, June 17, 2009, 10:00 am — 11:30 am
The Brookings Institution, Falk Auditorium, 1775 Massachusetts Ave, NW,
Washington, DC
The Obama administration recently launched a long-awaited Open Government
Initiative, which invites citizens to submit ideas via the Internet for
creating a more transparent, collaborative and participatory government. Few
developments have had broader consequences for the public sector than the
introduction of the Internet and digital technology. When used in the public
sector, technology has the potential to make democracy stronger and enable
governments to meet citizens’ needs more simply, quickly and efficiently.
On June 17, Brookings will host an event on how new technology can make the
public sector perform faster and smarter. Brookings Vice President and Director
of Governance Studies Darrell West will release a new study, “Comparing
Technology Innovation in the Private and Public Sectors.” West will be joined
by Beth Simone Noveck, New York University Law Professor, deputy chief
technology officer of the White House Office of Open Government and author of
Wiki Government (Brookings Institution Press, 2009), and Carmen Sirianni,
author of Investing in Democracy: Engaging Citizens in Collaborative Governance
(Brookings Institution Press, 2009).
After the program, panelists will take audience questions.
