Just as companies need to keep pace today with always on, connected customer, the same applies to governments. A new generation of citizens is demanding that government operate at the speed and ease of the mobile, social and cloud apps, and services they use everyday.

Simultaneously, a revolution is taking place at all levels of government.  A new generation of public servants is stepping up to disrupt bureaucracy and transform how government operates.  They are connecting the public to its health care records and creating greater openness and transparency. They are helping teachers collaborate to better educate students.

See some of these inspiring stories of innovation happening across government: 

New York City connects teachers to each other and their students

Boston connects businesses and communities to create more jobs

New Jersey connects citizens to their services

Colorado is better connecting citizens to their elected officials

In any a democracy, self-governance is defined by power residing with the people, connected to their government.  And the shear genius of that story is that each generation gets to add its own unique chapter and revitalize democracy for the next generation. Together, we are creating a government by, for, and of the people, connected for the next generation.
