Title:
Open and Agile: Accelerating Change and Institutional Incompetence

Description:
The first decade of the 21st century has been a period of rapid change across media, technology, telecommunications, and education. The next decade is going to move even faster and undoubtedly questions will arise such as:

 > How can government institutions avoid irrelevance as the rest of the world builds on the increasing power and connections available to them?

 > What lessons from product development need to be applied more broadly in our connected world?
