Our publications focus on the major management issues facing all governments today: e-government, financial management, human capital management, managin

In addition to our publications, the Center produces The Business of Government Hour - an interview program with government executives who are changing the way government does business. The Business of Government Hour, hosted by Albert Morales, Managing Partner of the Center, has interviewed over 275 government executives about their careers, agency accomplishments and management, and the future of government in the 21st Century. Past guests include Deputy Secretaries, Under Secretaries, Chief Financial Officers, Chief Information Officers, Chief Operating Officers, and Commissioners from a range of federal agencies as well as state and local government executives.
