- Effectiveness – Applying enterprise approaches to achieve better outcomes, operational efficiency and a leaner government.
- Risk – Mitigating risk, managing cybersecurity and building resiliency to meet the mission of government.
- People – Cultivating people; reforming processes for hiring, developing, and retaining workers; and leveraging data and technologies to build the workforce of the future.
- Engagement – Fostering a citizen-driven government through real-time, interactive feedback to engage, co-create, and co-produce services and programs.
- Digital – Optimizing new technology and infrastructure models, focusing on the user experience and incentivizing innovators to modernize how business (and government) does business.
