Hearing from Bruce McConnell about Bruce McConnell
I mentioned late last night that Bruce McConnell has agreed to sell his companies — McConnell International and Government Futures — to Clinton Rubin LLC, a management consulting firm in Pennsylvania.
Early this morning, I got this note from McConnell:
On a more personal note, I have come to believe that our planet is at a profound turning point. The challenges we face as human beings and as a nation create daunting yet wonderful opportunities to collaborate in new ways, if we open to them. I believe my best contribution is to continue to find common ground among diverse worldviews, and to be a catalyst where business, government, and technology collide and react to create a better world. I welcome your ideas and inspirations.
McConnell — even while he was at OMB — has been one of the people who looked at technology as a way of enabling organizations to accomplish their missions. And like me, he is fascinated by what Web 2.0 means for government. I hope he stays actively involved in those issues — and others.
And… congratulations.
[…] A very happy birthday to Bruce McConnell, the former information technology chief at the Office of Management and Budget who went on to be the founder and head of McConnell International and Government Futures, which he recently sold. […]
