🏕️ Intro
In today's episode of The Public Sector Show by TechTables, we're joined with guests Mark Wittenburg, CIO of Raleigh, Rob Lloyd, Deputy City Manager of San Jose, and Chris Stewart, former CIO of the City of Austin from The Big Sky Live Podcast Tour.
We dive into the complexities of digital equity and responsive government services in their cities. We also explore how these leaders leverage technology for community engagement during events and disasters, and discuss strategies to attract mission-driven talent in the increasingly competitive landscape of public sector employment.
🎧 Tune in to learn more about:
✨ Provide more equitable access to city services through technology
"we connected 160,000 people covered. 160,000 people with high speed wifi."
✨ Bridge the digital divide in your community
"In Title I attendance areas, that's 80% at least. Free or reduced lunch, a proxy for poverty"
✨ Truly listen and respond to your constituents' needs
"we actually try to co create services."
✨ Create internships and events to inspire future technologists
"that internship pipeline gives us a head start."
✨ Build a culture that attracts and retains top talent
"when you create a culture that attracts people, it solves a big chunk of your problem."
✨ Develop managers to lead effectively in a hybrid world
"Hybrid work does require better managers."
✨ Collaborate across regions to solve complex problems like
"what are you going to do about the laws in North Carolina that restrict the cities from providing broadband?" ("It's trying to work with like the state with Jim Weaver is to start to look and say, ok, what are the things that we can do?")
✨ Communicate the meaningful impact of public sector IT work
"the story we get to tell in public."
Plus Q&A from Brent Byrnes at ExtraHop and Brad Booth from SentinelOne.
