As a former public servant, I couldn't agree more with Natalie Arroyo (article linked below) on the importance of courage in government service. The declining trust in government institutions is a cause for concern, but it's heartening to see the growing use of engagement software to create transparent and inclusive dialogues. This is just the start! By embracing digital solutions, we can foster stronger bonds with the communities we serve. Working for a company that only serves governments and the communities they serve, I am so grateful to be part of the journey towards a more connected and trustworthy governance. #CommunityTrust #GovernmentInnovation https://lnkd.in/gPta4YB3

https://lnkd.in/e3u3p3dk “Roadblocks aside, state and local governments are finding innovative ways to collaborate with one another on data-focused projects and policy, seeking ways to make up for the problems that impacted early efforts at evidence-based governance. More state and local governments now recruit data experts at every level to collect, analyze and explain the data generated by residents, aided by advances in technology and increased access to researchers.”

"I really suspect we'd derive value from evaluating our own data with external sources, but who has the bandwidth?" In our daily conversation with leaders in public agencies, private enterprise and nonprofits, this is a very common theme. That's why we developed a workshop, typically 60-90 minutes, virtual or in-person, to explore what organizations have, what they don't have, and give third-party, expert perspective on ways to move forward. #GovTech #PropTech #CRE #Spatial #Cities #Facilities
