There's only one place where, in one day, you'll get a behind the scenes look at the landing of Curiosity, tips for navigating the political transition, and insight into what's coming with sequestration. And Excellence in Government Live, on Sept. 6, was that place. If you missed Excellence in Government Live, you're in luck--Excellence in Government Digital is now online.
A free video library of all the keynotes and panel experts at the conference, Excellence in Government Digital contains valuable tips, techniques and perspective for every federal manager trying to navigate the complexity of transition. Highlights include:
Doug McCuistion, NASA Director of the Mars Exploration Program. McCuistion offered a behind the scenes look at how NASA pulled off the landing of Curiosity--and shared never before released photos straight from the surface of Mars.
