The eGovernment movement is a good thing, and maybe too long in coming given how many years businesses have been taking advantage of technology to provide convenience and a higher quality of service to their customers. Constituent services have been available online for years, certainly, but only recently has the effort to modernize government been policy.

The Goal is Credibility
August 31, 2009
I want to share an article with you that I think has a tremendous lesson for anyone in the business of building trust. The article is from a recent edition of Foreign Policy (reprinted from Joint Force Quarterly), but don't let the source put you off. Admiral Michael G.

July 21, 2009
I’m still processing a lot of the information gathered, shared, and created during our 8th RIM Renaissance this past weekend in Minneapolis.

Are you frustrated by your attempts to outline a plan for protecting sensitive personal information only to get the sense that you are talking to a brick wall?
