Tech in Government: The Case for Change and What’s Afoot
Description:
This fireside chat would tackle the looming question of how to change the technology landscape of government via the workforce. The conversation would revolve around the innovative problem definition and ideas from Jen Pahlka’s new book, Recoding America, and bring in learning from reform underway with the Federal government. Collectively, Office of Personnel Management Director Ahuja and best selling author Jen Pahlka will pose and begin to answer the question: how government can not just hire the tech talent the moment requires, but also realign itself to empower technologists to lead change
