how we evaluate everything in our lives. For government
leaders, this disruption presents an epic moment to create
a next generation government. To apply the new, now.

DATAREDEFINES
RELATIONSHIPS
The surge of data that power our daily lives creates a constant flow of
previously undetected patterns and micro trends. Through artificial
intelligence (AI) and other technologies, agencies will serve customers
and employees with more speed and accuracy. The value of data and
speed of decision-making shifts agency operating rhythms and resources
faster across the organization for greater collaboration and impact.
Data-informed interactions per person
are expected to multiply more than
300% by 2025 and total worldwide
data will swell to 163ZB by 2025,
10 times the amount today.

VIRTUALISTHENEW
FACEOFGOVERNMENT
As demand for immersive services and experiences grows, virtualization
allows agencies to offer citizens access to a world of services at their own
convenience, on many devices. By combining extended reality with AI,
agencies dramatically accelerate how fast employees can be re-skilled
and cross-skilled. Teams collaborate easily and tap into the value of
relationships in different locations and across the organization.
Wireless VR headsets (smartphone-based
and standalone) data consumption
will grow by more than 650% over the next
4 years, from nearly 2,800PB (Petabytes)
in 2017 to 21,000PB in 2021.2

TRUSTISCRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
With more data and connection points at risk of cyber breach, agencies
seek to secure services that are increasingly digital, virtual, and data-
driven. Agencies explore new ways to ensure a more secure, resilient
services ecosystem through trusted digital identity and authentication
and safeguard the confidence of citizens, employees, and partners.
86 percent of federal leaders say that
collaboration with the private sector
over the next four years will be key to
building cyber-resilience and
thwarting attacks.

AUTHENTICITY
ISCURRENCY
As more of our daily routines are enhanced by AI, machine learning and other
technologies, citizens and employees expect the government’s help to detect
misinformation and manipulation. Agencies embrace new technologies and
partners to protect the integrity of their data, services, systems and cultivate
innovation and education throughout their ecosystem.

global GDP have regulations that take
steps to cut off the free flow of data

INNOVATION
Create a culture of continuous reinvention.
Disruption is inevitable.
Preempt it by producing a steady
stream of future-forward pilots.
• Start small with efforts that demonstrate the art of possibilities
but do not require wholesale change. Use human-centered
design to understand and fulfill user needs.
• Prove value quickly with working prototypes, and deepen buy-
in by engaging ever-wider circles of stakeholders.

DATA
Make data the soul of services.
Balance the drive to uncover potential
in massive amounts of data with
disciplined due diligence that keeps
asking “for whom” and “why.”
• Leaders can drive innovation, foster agility, and increase meaningful
productivity, while improving the lives of citizens and the workforce.
• Put “human” considerations into decision-making by focusing
on value and outcomes.

PEOPLE
Empower your workforce and shift to high-value work.
Transition employees to higher-value work with
greater impact by automating their underlying rote
tasks. Dynamic reskilling and new approaches to
learning are key as the velocity of change increases.
• Solicit their insights for your planning, and explain why there is a need to change.
• Incorporate XR and AI to dramatically accelerate how fast you can re-skill and
cross-skill employees and improve their work.

RESPONSIBILITY
Advocate for the ethics of everything.
Ethical considerations lie at the heart of
navigating data ubiquity and the adoption of
intelligent and immersive technologies like
AI and XR. In a world of constant change,
you need a true north star.
• Build ethics in from the start.
• Be vigilant in removing human bias from AI algorithms to ensure they are ethical,
transparent, and accountable to protect privacy, decision-making, and trust.

FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE:

ECOSYSTEM
Power your force multiplier.
Don’t face the future alone. Engage an
ecosystem of nonprofits, startups,
digital-savvy companies, and
crowdsourcing platforms to support
innovation in your agency.
• Advance your innovation agenda by sharing your agency’s expertise
with outside partners and adapting your contracting approaches to
invite in a wider range of potential providers and solutions.

FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE:

TRUST
Make security an above- and below-ground priority.
Trust is the cornerstone
of government functions.
• Ensure that devices throughout your networks—and especially near the
edge—are designed to accommodate continuous security updates.
• Apply AI and security automation and orchestration to detect threats
and act at machine speed.
