Action Plan • Whichever of the 7 pillars youʼre part of, connect yourself to the others • Create coalitions and shared language that enfranchises all major stakeholder groups in your geography… transparency + government-as-a-platform innovation + IT consolidation and efficiency, etc. • Think & Speak Aspirationally on 10+ Year Timescales: Whatʼs the impact of ubiquitous access to comprehensive mashable information on governance itself? Donʼt let it just be about “can we afford this data portal?”
