Key themes include: 

Simple and Engaging: If an IT system isn't used by anyone, was it worth building in the first place?

Social and Responsible: Extending transparency to be more than a new set of reporting requirements and more about a different way of doing the public's business

Smart: Better decisions through better information

Sustainable: Ecologically and economically -- providing energy conservation and more efficient ways to work

Streamlined: Breaking down organizational boundaries and siloes of service while integrating data

Shared: Shared services, open source, virtualization, cloud computing and more

Simultaneously Local and Global: Residents of communities of all sizes expect small town service. Welcome to the age of global locals.

Seamlessly Connected -- Always On: Broadband, unified communications and never really being 'off the grid'

Secure: Build trust, not walls to secure your digital assets

Skilled: Retaining the best talent through strategic sourcing and human capital management
