Digital Service Retros

We're launching a national series of digital service retrospectives to capture hard-won lessons, surface what worked, be clear-eyed about what didn't, and bring digital service experts together to imagine next-generation models for digital government.

The Federation of American Scientists, in partnership with Georgetown University's Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation and the Better Government Lab at Georgetown University and the University of Michigan, is launching a national series of digital service retrospectives. These convenings will capture hard-won lessons, surface what truly worked, be clear-eyed about what didn't, and bring digital service experts together to imagine next-generation models for digital government. Through a series of virtual and in-person workshops, participants will share experiences, ideas, and aspirations. At each session, we will synthesize what we hear, ultimately building toward a public set of insights and recommendations for the future of digital capacity in government.
