Leveraging tech talent to deliver good policy (with Jennifer Anastasoff)
Manage episode 318935515 series 2826931
One of the greatest challenges of modern-day policymaking rests not in the development of new policies, but rather in their implementation. Some of the boldest policy ambitions of the last decade have been derailed due to the failure to understand how to deliver services through digital channels. This is why it is increasingly important for policymakers to have technology experts at the table when designing and executing new policy programs.
On this episode of “TechEnabled,” John Bailey is joined by Jennifer Anastasoff, founder and executive director of the Tech Talent Project — a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the ability of the US government to bring in experienced technical leaders. With a background in both the public and private sectors, Anastasoff discusses why understanding technology is important in implementing government policies and how the Tech Talent Project is helping bring technology expertise into government service.
