About this session

Built for lean teams with big missions

Public sector IT teams run modern operations with skeleton crews, supporting multiple departments across their organizations on flat budgets and shrinking headcounts. Most modernization playbooks were designed for enterprises with deeper resources.

This roundtable cuts through that. Three leaders share what actually worked in their organizations and what they wish they'd known before they started.
