Closing Plenary Session (3) – Building a Near-term Transformation Agenda

Considering the challenges and opportunities discussed over the past two days, what near-term choices are advisable? And how will these new directions likely transform bureaucratic cultures – making government at all levels more agile; more transparent; more efficient and effective; more responsive to civil servants, citizens and the business community; and more engaging to younger generations considering careers in public service? Track leaders and others share their views on these urgent matters – making use of Web 2.0 and related collaborative technologies to obtain feedback and ideas from conference participants.
