Accountability & Transparency: Are You Ready?

Times are uncertain. People are anxious. And the forces pushing government to be accountable and transparent have never been stronger.

"Accountability" and "transparency" aren't empty buzzwords - they're real expectations for you and your colleagues in government, everywhere. Citizens are not only counting on government to be effective and efficient - they're increasingly demanding it.

We're happy to share a resource with you that we hope you'll find helpful in meeting this challenge. It's a self-assessment tool (click here to download it) that will enable you to quickly and easily get a clear sense of how your government measures up in its accountability and transparency. You can complete it in about five to 10 minutes and get a good sense of where you're strong - and your opportunities for improvement.

We hope this tool is helpful as you continue to focus on greater accountability and transparency. Please feel free to contact us to let us know what you think and what we can do to make it more helpful.
