Information & Communication Technology

ICT is one of the chief tools used to achieve service transformation. While many of readers are ICT experts, most are not. We provide advice to both groups on how to manage ICT projects to get the most out of them, how to network with other agencies and levels of government, how to relate to private sector vendors. We share success stories from effective ICT transformations and the keys to their success.
