2020 Predictions interesting, but are they an accurate reflection of what is to come?

Article Overview: Okay, I admit it! While I had originally planned to write about Free and Open Source Software or FOSS in the public sector this week (a topic that has been of great personal interest), it seems that there are just too many rich stories out there to share that have a much broader appeal.

Okay, I admit it!

While I had originally planned to write about Free and Open Source Software or FOSS in the public sector this week (a topic that has been of great personal interest), it seems that there are just too many rich stories out there to share that have a much broader appeal than discussing the legal, practical and ultimately operational aspects of the FOSS model including the subtle (or cultural) differences between free software and open source software.

Do not get me wrong, I will definitely be dedicating an upcoming theme week to this topic.

Now to the day’s business at hand, and the recent Washington Technology article by Bob Lohfeld in which the chief executive officer of the Lohfeld Consulting Group took the bold step in predicting what the market will look like in Zagerand Evans fashion in 5 critical areas in the year 2020. (Note: yes I know, the Zager and Evans song is titled In The Year 2525, but you get my drift.) The 5 areas upon which Lohfeld focused includes; Government Market, Workforce, Process, Technology and Transportation.

Over the next week I will be dedicating a post to each of the 5 points Lohfeld covered in his article, where I will review and assess his prognosticative prowess adding my own unique perspective to the mix starting with the future of the Government Market.

Picking the Right People - I was mentioning this on another site last week. Definitely take the time to bring in the right people, screen them thoroughly, check their references and keep an eye on their work. The way I see it, they are a reflection on me and they need to work up to the level I want and need. Chris
