MobileGov Launch
On Wednesday, January 11th, 2012, Steven VanRoekel presented a lunchtime keynote address at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) entitled “The U.S. Mobile Opportunity: Fostering a 21st Century Government Through the Power of Mobility.” At CES, E-Gov and the General Services Administration (GSA) also launched the National Dialogue on the Federal Mobility Strategy to encourage industry and agency participation in developing the mobility strategy that will run through Friday, January 27th. In addition to lending your own voice to the Dialogue – through submission of ideas, comments, and votes on what a Federal Mobility Strategy should include – please help us spread the word to internal and external mobility groups, web colleagues, and others to ensure a broad range of perspectives are represented.
The goals of Federal mobility strategy are to: reduce the costs of government operations through mobile, improve delivery of government services and information to citizens, engage citizens in government and increase Federal workforce productivity. A government-wide “MobileGov” strategy will be released within the next two months, informed by feedback from the online dialogue, work with the private sector and a cross-government taskforce. More information on realizing the “mobile opportunity” for the Federal Government and highlighting some of the great work you’re already doing in mobile is available at blog post on whitehouse.gov.
