Welcome to my first post on my new blog. I have the good fortune of traveling around and meeting with various government officials and want to share insights and trends with our regular Navigator users. So look forward to a variety of state and local government information from coast to coast.
Speaking of one coast, there is so much going on in California. Smart companies should listen carefully and read between the lines. Our new CIO, Teri Takai is one of the sharpest, hard-working CIOs in the nation. She has her hands full creating and staffing her new office. She has several priorities including project management, enterprise architecture, moving away from an environment too invested in risk management and moving California to the top ten in the Digital States Survey. At a recent industry briefing, she was very clear about taking control of technology in California. Her new deputies are Christy Quinlan, an experienced CIO and veteran IT exec and Adrian Farley who knows his way around the Governor's office and just finished a stint in Department of General Services working on procurement reform. Watch out for big things.....
