The webinar will delve into key themes, including achieving reform within government, the impact of federal efficiency initiatives on local governments, and the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI). With a focus on storytelling and practical strategies, the author will address how public servants can overcome challenges, rebuild trust, and leverage cutting-edge technologies like AI to deliver exceptional results.
