Comprehensive strategies for how to look at technologies across government, overcome cultural resistance and further interaction within federal and industry CTO communities will help attract and retain talent.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">&#8220;The importance of fostering dialogue between agency CTOs and industry cannot be overstated,&#8221; Coleman said in a news release. &#8220;If we expect agencies to adapt to the rapid pace of technological change, CTOs will have to be in the vanguard of delivering new solutions and approaches.&#8221;<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">The PSC report recognizes CTOs have a widely varying set of roles and responsibilities, depending on agency mission. However, most find themselves working in the following six broad areas: innovation; managing enterprise architecture and data; coordinating between offices; acting as technology adviser and consultant; developing the technology workforce; and strategic positioning.<\/span><span class=\"inbox-inbox-apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">Most agencies have structures where the CTO either reports directly to the chief information officer (CIO), is seen as a peer working independently of the CIO, or acts dual-hatted as the CTO and CIO. The CTO\u2019s placement within agency architecture and technology efforts must be aligned in a way that increases engagement and idea sharing.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">According to the report, industry CTOs feel some best practices applicable to their federal counterparts are the need for CTOs to be empowered to have more budget authority; to spend more time out of the office evaluating emerging technologies; to be outstanding communicators able to articulate mission needs and initiative benefits; and to work closely with product management teams to identify what will be going to market and what successes can benefit peer groups.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">PSC recommendations to allow CTOs to deliver on the promise of technology include federal agencies designating a CTO with the requisite authorities to affect change; agencies assuring the CTO has an explicit working relationship with the agency CIO; the executive branch moving the U.S. CTO from the Office of Science and Technology Policy to OMB, working for the federal CIO, as well as establishing a CTO Council; and lawmakers considering CTO legislation only if it will empower agency CTOs as<\/span> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">innovation agents.<\/span><span class=\"inbox-inbox-apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">CTOs as innovation agents and the conclusions of this report will be one of the topics at the PSC Tech Trends Conference to be held Sept. 21 at the Clarendon Ballroom in Arlington, Virginia.<\/span><br\/><br\/> <span class=\"inbox-inbox-s1\">The <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pscouncil.org\/Downloads\/documents\/CTO%20Report\/CTO%20STUDY%2016_SEP%20FNL%20WEB.pdf\"
