The Modern City: Building Community through Development and Technology

Data is one of the most valuable resources of modern digitized governance, but raw data alone can not provide the decision makers valuable insights. To turn the numbers into knowledge, we need to separate noise from the data. We also need to choose the right way to present the data, so that it’s easily interpreted.

Driven by changing global norms, national security challenges, and evolving public expectations, it’s essential today’s Modern Government lead the way on key climate and decarbonization initiatives. While their capability to address these issues is nothing new, recent policy changes in agencies like the Department of Defense designed to combat emissions, curb rising energy costs, and develop the next generation of climate technologies have signaled new priorities for those working to secure our nation. As the world continues to press for a net-zero future, it’s essential that those working to meet expectations do their best to deliver a pathway to this ambitious and important goal.

The workplace as we once knew it has changed. Virtual and hybrid work environments paired with the Great Resignation and trends like quiet quitting have made workforce management much more complex. To keep and attract talent, governments must prioritize delivering a positive employee experience and making work life better.
