Abstract

This plenary session is a candid conversation among government leaders and digital government scholars focusing on how research and practice engagements can address the "wicked" problems of government. Connecting research and practice in the context of digital government is not new and many engagements are quite successful in terms of practical impacts and generated scholarly knowledge. This session will engage discussants in a conversation around working across sectors and disciplines to address the complex and challenging issues facing governments all over the world while producing meaningful practice results and research value.
