Nebraska Digital Government Summit

"As citizens increasingly use technology in the workplace and in their personal lives, they expect government information and services to be readily accessible through technology. The Nebraska Digital Government Summit will provide an opportunity to learn how new and emerging technologies can be used to expand access to services, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve public safety. I hope that you will join us on November 18th"

Steal This Idea! - Government Edition

Liza Lowery-Massey, Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government

Information Technology is a daunting challenge in the best of times, and it is even more difficult today as governments face tightening finances and diminishing revenues. Under such circumstances, the smart thing to do is look for opportunities to borrow ideas from other jurisdictions who have demonstrated savings of time and money in solving major service delivery challenges. But where to look? There are 94,731 city, county and state governments across our nation. This fascinating session provides - at a pace not unlike a 3-day tour of Europe - the best of hundreds of nominees and dozens of winners from the Center for Digital Government's intensive national surveys of best and emerging practices in the public sector IT community. Be prepared to borrow an idea... or 10.

The Multi Generational Workforce

Ron Crouch, Director, State Data Center, University of Louisville

The workforce and the organizational culture are changing. Baby boomers have been the dominant voice of the workforce. As they begin retiring in droves, the workforce is shifting to a multigenerational workforce. GenXers and Millennials are moving in and up the organization as Baby Boomers leave. These generations are now working alongside each other, bringing different work ethics, work styles, and motivations to the government work place. What are the characteristics of the different generations? What does it take to motivate and reward the multigenerational workforce? What role does Human Resources play in recruiting the next generation worker? This session will explore these questions and Mr. Crouch's candor and humor keep things lively.
