Our Vision
A productivity gap has emerged between the public and private sectors—one widened by government’s inability to dynamically absorb and capitalize on new digital technologies like we’ve seen in the private sector. The application of digital technologies in government has almost limitless potential for providing more efficient, effective and trustworthy public service, that serves constituents, communities, and the population at large. CSA is the Intersection of Digital Transformation and the Public Sector.
