The Center For Digital Government's Paul Taylor to Deliver GOSCON Keynote
Paul W. Taylor, Chief Strategy Officer for The
Center for Digital Government, will be delivering the opening Keynote address at GOSCON on Tuesday, October 21st at 8:30AM. Mr. Taylor's presentation, "YouGov II: Why MTV isn’t, why radio is a pandora’s box and why government service delivery will never be the same", will focus on the future of e-government:
"As the Internet returns to its social roots, governments face the
challenge and opportunity of a second chance to realize the promise of
what was once popularly known as e-government – where the end goal was
and is a relationship between one government and one person on the
person’s terms. Some of what comes next will be home grown, some will
be off the shelf, some will be community built and some will come from
where we least expect it."
