Research: hot off the press!

Yes, it's been a while ... please don't start having a go, I've been a little bit 'under the cosh' at work. But I just wanted to update you on our new research offering. FutureGov Research is the sister arm of FutureGov magazine, and in tandem with our events, regularly canvasses our community of 10,000+ government officials to see what keeps them up at night.

I'm just back from India (more on that another time) where we were launching our latest research report on the attitudes to efficiency and effectiveness, sponsored by Juniper Networks. It was great to be able to shed light on some of the working practices in India's public sector - particularly in the run up to our FutureGov Forum India event in a few months time.

We've now conducted quite a number of research reports for the likes of SAP, EMC, Kodak, Fuji Xerox, Bluecoat and Juniper - so we'll be shortly revealing a new section on our government portal where these will be available for free download.

However in the newfound spirit of enquiry that has swept the office, I thought I'd let you in on the very latest research we've generated by asking the FutureGov team. Feel free to tell us your opinion!
