Following the troubled launch of healthcare.gov in 2013, it was nearly impossible to find the right kind of company that could execute on the concepts of agile delivery and human-centered design — to say nothing about caring about (or, frankly, even acknowledging) end users. Our founding members saw an opportunity to improve how the government delivers digital services by nurturing a sense of community rather than rivalry. Today, five years later, we have nearly 50 member organizations that share our passion for dramatically improving the performance, reach, and customer experience of government services. Learn more in today’s letter from our Executive Director, Traci Walker. https://lnkd.in/gdcCiPDH #digitalservices #digitalmodernization #digitaltransformation #govtech #govcon #governmentservices
