“Technology is often perceived as a back-office, tactical function, whereas in today’s public sector failing to invest in new technologies that can improve government services can have long-term costs. My role is to help navigate public sector clients and to help identify where risk and innovation gaps are, and the solutions to overcome them.” – David J. Elges
