Invitation to Brand Niemann • I am the producer of the afternoon drive program on Federal News Radio. We are a radio station in Washington DC that broadcasts news and information exclusively for Federal government decision-makers and government contracting company executives. • I saw your post about the four lessons learned using dashboards in government. We would like to have you on our show to talk about them. • The interview would be based off this AOL Government story: http://gov.aol.com/2011/10/27/four-lessons-learned-using-dashboards-in-government/ • The live interview would be with host Francis Rose and could be done over a landline phone between 4-6pm ET any day this week or next.
Response • I would like to make three points about my AOL Government article on Four Lessons Learned Using Dashboards in Government: • 1. Data Science - As Aneesh Chopra said recently at the STRATA 2011 NY Conference – “the government needs data science and data scientists” – I have volunteered to be his chief data scientist. • 2. Practical Cloud Computing – “I have said it is not just where you put your data, but how you put it there” – the Japanese are developing the Desktop-As-A-Service idea that I pioneered at the US EPA in 2010 with Put My EPA Desktop in the Cloud. • 3. Sustainable Innovation Model – App Contests do not produce an App Store, but my Build EPA Apps in the Cloud does because it provides over 50 apps that are data science products in a data science library in the Amazon Secure Cloud. Aneesh Chopra also said yesterday in his keynote at the EPA Apps for the Environment Contest that EPA may have overlooked a more sustainable innovation model among the 38 finalists. I feel that they did and wrote an AOL government story on the contest that said: The government needs to foster a much broader ecosystem of apps so it can get to the iPhone App Store - type critical mass that has made it wildly successful. • http://semanticommunity.info/AOL_Government/EPA's_Apps_for_the_Environment_Innovation_Forum_November_8_2011
