Perspectives

With nearly 200 years of collective experience in government leadership and consulting, the members of GPS occasionally share their thoughts on elements of the industry with others. We hope visitors will find these of value and encourage discussion of the ideas presented. We post a new article about once each month. You also can find occasional video presentations or interview on the same topics at our Podcasts page (coming in May, 2020).
