How It Works:
Learn about innovation, challenge-based procurement, and the latest in cutting-edge technology;
Understand your technology challenges in a detailed manner through facilitated listening sessions;
Engage with other local government peers to see how they are handling similar challenges;
Pilot an affordable and innovative solution to one or more of the challenges identified; and
Deploy new ways to procure innovative solutions. By the end of the program, a government staff will be able to apply this method to other problems facing their communities.
