Today I attended the online-based Technology Advisory Council (TAC) Full Council Meeting. The TAC is a permanent body to advise Minnesota IT Services (MNIT) and executive branch agencies on strategic information technology initiatives and service delivery. Meetings are open to the public. I took pretty loose notes but I feel like I soaked up a lot of information that would be valuable for policymakers and policy-followers. I suspect it would be handy if you had a business in any of the areas discussed too. Attendees are the folks on the frontlines and a lot of practical tips flow freely on how to plan and deploy enterprise technology projects.
