True that. I remember once Ndemo telling us - you haven't worked until you have worked in Government. I'm still hoping that that notion is true today.

Hi all,

It just goes to show that if the leaders create a conducive environment, then "miracles" can be done. What many people are looking for today is a chance to make a positive difference. If there is an atmosphere of trust, team work and "yes we can" attitude, then many people, especially Millennials, will come on board.

Regards,
Mildred Achoch.

Good morning. This is an interesting read of how a President can inspire a whole nation and particularly Government to re-invent itself when it comes to using IT for Service Delivery.

From Obamacare to the Pentagon; from Immigration Services to The Internal Revenue Authority the team now popularly known as the United States Digital Services (USDS) parachuted into various government departments and sorted out major problems using simple tools like Agile Project Management and Cloud Computing. Saving millions of dollars and availing critical G2C services to Americans.

The team comprised Googlers, Amazonians, Microsofties and other tech giants who sometimes simply took a leave of absence to Serve. 

Here's an example to emulate.

Read on:-

Have a lovely week ahead.
