The IT Vendor Open House was well organized and gave ACS Public Sectors Solutions an in-depth understanding of the City of Edmonton’s “innovative and forward thinking” approach. Would love to see other cities adapt this approach to doing business and building partnerships!

As an outsider, the one observation I can make about Chris’s transformation is that he’s certainly walking his talk.

The images I captured during that session were immediately shared with all staffmembers who were present at the meeting. But more than that… The images were also shared with the public.

When I asked Chris what he would like to do with the images, he was very happy for them to be placed in a public group on my Flickr gallery.

His words were something like: ‘We’re promoting transparency. So let’s be transparent.’ (Those might not be hois actual words. I’m summarizing from memory.)

To me, that’s deeply impressive. A CIO who allows the proceedings of his meeting to be aired and scrutinised by the public he serves.
