Welcome to the September issue of Pivotal Insights, the monthly newsletter for Pivotal Insight. We are a business research and intelligence firm providing executives with perspective and information on government. Through our newsletter, free reports and subscription services, we shine a spotlight on government’s complex decisions to reduce their inherent risk, save valuable tax dollars, and create more agile government.

Following up on our July newsletter, this issue features a more in-depth look at mission flux—unexpected and unplanned-for mandates that add to or shift their agency’s mission. There is also analysis on current trends in other Pivotal Domain areas such as Program Management, Strategy, and Acquisition Management.

Pivotal Insight's goal is to help you understand Public Sector trends and best practices to make faster, more cost effective, and more enlightened decisions. If you believe that there is an important topic that we are not addressing, or if the focus of our newsletter is not on target, please let us know.
