First open government newsletter about Francophone countries

March 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Boston (United States), March 14, 2011 ― Government in The Lab has released the first known open government newsletter designed specifically for Francophone countries. This newsletter will soon be available in multiple languages including Spanish, Italian, German, and it is focused on delivering strategic information to government decision makers throughout the world.  It can be read in French at http://govinthelab.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Infolettre_GouvOuvert_Mars2011.pdf and in English at http://govinthelab.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Newsletter-OpenGov-March2011.pdf.

Open Government is an initiative that benefits more than the English speaking democracies. Francophone countries are embracing the open government philosophy.  By delivering real economic results, best of breed solutions and best open government practices in the French language, Francophone leaders can create good governance and strengthen the importance of the french language on the world-wide stage.

Government in The Lab (http://www.govinthelab.com) is the premiere source of global open government information being delivered in multiple languages.  John F Moore, the Founder and CEO, defines open government as "a citizen-centric philosophy and strategy that believes the best results are usually driven by partnerships between citizens and government, at all levels. It is focused entirely on achieving goals through increased efficiency, better management, information transparency, and citizen engagement and most often leverages newer technologies to achieve the desired outcomes. This is bringing business approaches, business technologies, to government".   It is this vision of open government that guides the organization, which includes Lyne Robichaud (open government francophone advocate) and Susan Hess (open government technology advocate).

In addition to delivering strategic information via the web, Government in The Lab is focused on delivering common sense approaches to leveraging open government and social business strategies, tactics, and tools to meet the needs of government.
