Who is a member?
Our members are the local governments of Massachusetts and their elected and appointed leadership.
Despite the essential role of technology in local governments, industry and academia tend to focus on the private sector and federal and state governments.
A research team at the Tilburg School of Economics and Management is seeking to better understand how local governments navigate emerging digital challenges and opportunities.
A 20-minute survey is open to municipal and county executives, elected officials, and staff on how cities, towns, and counties engage in digital transformation.
Multiple responses per jurisdiction are encouraged. Responses are confidential and will be reported in aggregate.
Although this is a national survey, a tailored research brief will be prepared for the MMA. Higher participation will produce more meaningful results.
The following topics will be covered: leadership behaviors, organizational alignment, decision rights, interdepartmental collaboration, demand for digital/AI services, organizational outcomes, reporting lines, and government/IT size and budgets.
The survey opens on Oct. 1 and will close on Nov. 21.
