Digital Government: Literally wrote the book on Digital Government (Government 2.0)
Stumbled across a textbook that I was featured in the first chapter from NIU in the US (while I love Scribd, you should buy the book and to all our professors out there, you should force your students to read it 
). It was fun to re-read the things I tried to accomplish as CIO, and I found much if it stands up today.
Even with all of the new technologies, social media impact, open data initiatives and the like, I believe the orientation outlined in the Textbook are accurate. Our CIO’s that are out there following this blog need to continually remind themselves that they are best served when they are using technology to support policy objectives. I should be clear, I don’t mean support in terms of not leading, but in terms of leverage. Our ICT decisions need to be rooted in policy outcomes for the Government’s we serve and when we do that we can launch technology as the true strategic lever that it is, instead of a cost center to be controlled.
I certianly hope you have the time to read the book from NIU, but for those of us out there that used to work in the public service it is good to see that our work continues to be consumed in the wild.
