NGA Future and the Future of Tech & Government
Thursday, 1 February, 2018
Tim Blute Is Helping Government Move At The Speed Of Technology Every day it seems like there are more things we can do on our phones — order anything delivered right to our homes, unlock our cars and even transfer money to a friend in an instant. But if you’ve ever tried to navigate any public services on your phone or even on a laptop, you know that government moves at a much slower speed. Most actions still require an in-person visit or sifting through a dizzying array of paper work. And when it comes to things like keeping up with cybersecurity or regulating self-driving cars, the government is still far behind the technology industry. Tim Blute is hoping to change that. As director for the newly created NGA Future within the National Governors Association, Blute will be working with state governments, advising them about how emerging technologies can help them make government more efficient. CALinnovates' Chief Evangelist Kish Rajan sat down with Blute in his D.C. office to discuss technology frustrations, new innovations and how the Cajun Army could get some help during the next natural disaster.
