As the public sector changes its focus to effective knowledge management as a key enabler for improving service delivery to Canadians, electronic government has become a reality. This cultural shift has implications in every area of the public sector, not the least of which is the IT community.
Public sector IT departments have an extremely difficult challenge. As your department becomes increasingly accountable and complex you must be capable of responding to increasing demand and constant change in a way that is efficient and effective. As a leader in this field you must ensure that the human capacity of your department and the individuals within that department are optimized. However your ability to do this is limited because of restricting legislation, lack of resources, and/or knowledge. So how then are you going to manage this transition?
