A study came out yesterday on how federal managers view Obama’s transparency initiatives and what they see as the main challenges in implementing his vision. The study, conducted by Government Business Council, found that while most managers support more transparency, they also agree that existing agency practices and IT infrastructures are inadequate to implement these initiatives. So, in sum, the conclusion is that fairly massive investments will be needed to achieve transparency as defined by Obama.

Interesting. Thanks for the link, Will. My office just released a pub on Transparency and Open Government. Check it out.
