How Dutch Cities Improve Digital Together

Mar 8, 2019

5:30pm – 5:45pm CT

Technological development is moving at a rapid pace, creating an ongoing challenge for the Netherlands’ 355 city managers focused on delivering high quality service to residents. The $60 million Organizing Together program is an answer to these challenges. By collectively determining a standard for software applications, cities are gaining the upper hand over software providers, and improving quality over today’s off-the-shelf counterparts.

This session is part of the Focus15 block centered around the topic Building Local Communities for a Global Population, with an emphasis on resident benefit.
