How You Can Excel With Community Planning

As state and local government employees, you face some tough IT obstacles. You have to build digital solutions to meet constituent demand, and design IT systems and architectures to support new services – all in an environment of tight budgets and limited staff. But by conquering these challenges, you can improve the community planning and decision making process in your neighborhoods.

There are thousands of strategies to improve community planning, but sometimes we overlook one of the most basic steps: know your audience. For community planning this could include government employees, citizens, non-profits, the business community and civic organizations. Everyone has a stake in community planning, and by making smart IT investment decisions, you can ultimately help your community arrive at better decisions.
