COVID-19 exposed long-standing challenges in governmental delivery systems, and subsequently accelerated efforts to make government "work smarter." An opening panel will highlight forward-thinking strategies to accelerate federal, state, local and regional innovation, followed by a deep dive highlighting replicable case studies of communities already shifting to outcome-driven government. Meet city leaders implementing innovations in procurement, budgeting, and data analysis, and changing how government works and creating greater equity for their citizens.
