Federal agencies face increasing pressure to deliver more with less – driving efficiency while staying true to their core mission. But achieving this balance requires navigating a range of challenges, from evolving stakeholder expectations to resource constraints and emerging technologies.
Join the IT Management and Modernization COI Meeting on May 30, 2025, from 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET for an interactive workshop focused on Government Efficiency at the IBM Innovation Studio by Hamilton Square in DC. This event will be a great opportunity to connect with fellow members and industry leaders as we dive into the real-world challenges you’re facing today. We’ll kick off the workshop with a fresh look at what efficiency means in the current federal landscape, discuss how to balance efficiency and mission effectiveness, highlight key trends, and spotlight success stories. Then, we’ll move into breakout groups and roll up our sleeves together for a scenario and prioritization exercise designed to leave you with practical next steps and new ideas.
