Reimagining the Government Workforce

2020: Imagine…
…there’s no congestion, it’s easy if you drive.
Imagine: Mobile Government
• Boomers: (semi-)retired, working from anywhere.
• Gen X/Y: Flexibility, work-life balance.
• Everyone: Connected, productive, contributing.
Loathing the Reality

Living the Dream?
Two Tech Ideas
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) Ustream Your Teleworkers*
*(Seriously, Don’t Do This)
2020: Imagine…
…there’s no GS-7 no step bestowed us, above us only…sky high, performance-based pay?
Imagine: Measurable Government
• Figure out what needs to be done and by when.
• Forget about how it gets done and where it happens.
• Reward real performance.
• Remove problem people faster (and without regret).
Loathing the Reality Only 737 out of more than 1.2 million GS employees… were denied a regularly-scheduled step increase and accompanying raise in 2009 because of poor performance, according to data provided by the Office of Personnel Management at Federal Times’ request.
That equates to a 0.06 percent denial rate…
which is far lower than any estimates of the number of poor performers in the workforce.

2020: Imagine…
…there’s no agencies . . . (Okay, that may be a stretch.)
Imagine: Modular Government
“Tiger Teams” tackle the toughest projects quickly.
Rotational assignments among agencies (not just PMFs).
Expert clearinghouse with “best of best” on the ready.
Loathing the Reality Through sheer luck and the brave actions of passengers, the U.S. narrowly averted a
terrorist attack on Christmas Day 2009. In President Obama's words, the U.S. government failed to “connect the dots” in its pursuit of Umar Farouk Abdulmutullab, and he nearly brought down Northwest Flight 253 as a result.
The problem was not a lack of information. It was an inability to stitch intelligence together into a coherent pattern. More than eight years after the September 11 attacks, it exposed systemic weaknesses that still plague the federal government's
efforts to track and stop terrorists. The problem is a persistent one: an inability to cross organizational boundaries.”

Laying Out the Dream

“With cloud computing: Organizations increase their flexibility by sharing storage space, information, and resources in a ‘cloud’ allowing them to quickly scale resources up and down, as needed. Why not apply the cloud model to people?”
Laying Out the Dream
http://www.deloitte.com/assets/Dcom-UnitedStates/Local%20Assets/Documents/Federal/us_fed_The_Future_of_Federal_Work_092011.pdf
“…A government-wide human cloud enables:
• Ability to apply resources nimbly;
• Increased knowledge flow across agencies, focus on government-wide missions; and
• Fewer structures that stifle creativity and halt adoption of new tech/innovation.”
Fed Cloud = workers performing creative, problem-focused work, not just in single agency, but government-wide.
Living the Dream:
2020: Imagine… “…You may say I’m a dreamer,
but I’m not the only one. I hope some day you’ll join us ...”
