Executive Briefing Series: Supporting High Performance Government: Leading Large Scale Change

Next Event:

October 15, 2008

Finding creative solutions to State problems in times of scarce resources.

Finding the resources necessary to support large scale change in government is challenging enough in times of expanding budgets, but managing transformations in periods of budget retrenchment is even more complex. The question is how to do more with less money. Veterans of periods of cutback management in the past will discuss their experiences and give advice on how to maintain momentum.

With an introduction by New York State Secretary to the Governor Charles O’Byrne, and closing remarks by Dennis Whalen, New York State Director of Operations, the panel includes:

Robert Callender, Acting President and Chief Executive Officer, Energy Research and Development Authority
John Egan, Commissioner, Office of General Services
Dr. Richard Daines, Commissioner, Department of Health
Dr. Melodie Mayberry-Stewart, Chief Information Officer, Office for Technology

Moderator: Professor Dall Forsythe, Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service

Other panelists may be added.
