Listen "How government agencies are innovating IT faster through COVID-19, with IBM's Jay Bellissimo"

Episode Synopsis

Public officials across the nation have come under extraordinary pressures to keep up with the demands for public services. But they’ve also shown a remarkable ability to innovate in a hurry, says IBM's Jay Bellissimo.

While much of that innovation was driven by necessity, “it illustrates the potential to transform government faster than many would have thought possible,” he says. “What we’ve heard from many of our clients was that they were surprised — both by how easy it was to innovate on the fly, and how relatively inexpensive it was as well.”

The discussion is expected to continue at the Think Gov virtual conference on July 1, 2020. Visit www.ibm.com/thinkgov to register. Sponsored by IBM.

Guest: Jay Bellissimo, General Manager, U.S. Public and Federal Market, IBM
