Our dynamic panel will discuss the new administration's focus on delivering integrated, citizen-focused services throughout government.  What will this focus on transparency mean in terms of program and project management?  What challenges come with managing intergovernmental initiatives to bring services to the citizen?  What are the necessary skills, standards, and certifications required to ensure program and project managers are equipped to succeed?
