What Makes Collaborative Initiatives Work?

/in , , , /by

Collaboration is a major part of the solution to sustaining and thriving government organizations and services. But it has to be done correctly so it is effective, can sustain through the life of the initiative’s intent, and can adapt with changing environmental circumstances. No matter what service area, mode of delivery, management area, or technology, collaborative arrangements should be considered as an alternative that may deliver the most effective outcomes.

NASCIO is actively investigating existing collaboratives in order to promote collaborative arrangements across government and to uncover operating discipline and best practices that make for successful collaboratives. These best practices support strategy, governance, program and project management, organization, operations and effective application of technology.Collectively these best practices are imbedded in the enterprise architecture of successful collaboratives.

NASCIO Cyber Security Awareness Resource Guide

/in /by

For the 2012 observance of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, NASCIO has updated its Resource Guide for State Cyber Security Awareness, Education, and Training Initiatives. The guide includes new information from our state members, who provided examples of state awareness programs and initiatives. This is an additional resource of best-practice information, together with an interactive state map to allow users to drilldown to the actual resources that states have developed or are using to promote cyber awareness. It includes contact information for the CISO, hyperlinks to state security and security awareness pages, and information describing cyber security awareness, training, and education initiatives.

The Resource Guide is a work-in-progress that should provide a valuable reference resource for Cyber Security Awareness Month, as well as the ongoing planning of security awareness and training efforts state programs may undertake thereafter.

Effective Transformation and Integration that can Enable Cross-jurisdiction Collaboration

/in , , , , /by

Enterprise architecture is gaining a new level of interest and investment across all sectors of the economy.  The motivation is grounded in gaining competitive advantage, reaching new levels of effectiveness, and creating an enterprise that is well orchestrated to continually transform.  This need for a complete enterprise-wide discipline becomes even more critical when organizations “join up” to accomplish some purpose, optimize resources, or simply pursue economies of scale.

There is a demand for enterprise architecture and enterprise architects with a comprehensive view of the enterprise that entails all aspects of the business as well as technology.  Universities are responding to this demand through creating courses and complete undergraduate and graduate programs in enterprise architecture.

In this webinar you will receive an overview of Enterprise Architecture as a management discipline, learn about the formation of the Federation of Enterprise Architecture Professional Organizations (FEAPO) and hear about the importance of enterprise architecture discipline in guiding the planning and implementation of cross-jurisdictional collaboratives.

Agenda:

  •      – The Increasing Importance and Expanding Role of Enterprise Architecture
    – Cross-Jurisdictional Collaborations

Why Should Government Join Up? Why now? What do we gain?

/in , , , /by

Maintaining and increasing government service delivery in the current economic circumstances is nearing the impossible. What is the answer? Part of the answer is the formation of collaborative relationships across agencies and jurisdictions to share and in some circumstances consolidate investments. State and local governments can not afford to go it alone. Through collaborative governance structures, jurisdictions can pool funding, increase buying power, remove or reduce redundant investments in technology and actually make significant gains in the quality of service.
