The Future of IT in the Public Sector
In this 5-minute video, Professor Jerry Mechling of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government looks at the future of technical innovation. He argues that what we've seen before--automation, 24 x 7 availability, and streamlined operations--are just the tip of the iceberg.
