It's clear that innovation and creativity -- whether in technology, productivity, customer service -- are catching hold in local companies and many of the government agencies they serve. Government is changing, for the better. More MBAs are going into government service, not for the benefits but because of the possibilities that their creative ideas will truly spell a difference for citizens. That sea change brings profound opportunities for the private sector as well. Such dynamics would not be possible without groups like the Maryland Tech Council and its Virginia counterpart.
