Contents: The Bush Administration has acknowledged the need to transform government’s business processes. This article presents the case that a more strategic approach regarding human capital, best business practices, sourcing and transformation is required in order to achieve enterprise-wide, long-term success in government re-form. It begins by highlighting the GAO’s new sourcing principles and then moves into an analysis of strategic sourcing concepts. Focus then shifts to a portrait of an ideal public-private partnership. Subsequently, the article spotlights the Department of Defense, considered to be on the “bleeding edge” of outsourcing. A local government case study highlights the differences between taking a tactical and a strategic approach to sourcing. The article includes a discussion on the relevance of strategic sourcing to a government chief information officer's undertakings. It concludes with recommendations for greater success in both transformation and strategic sourcing efforts and the observation that the two should be intricately linked.
