California seeks a visionary and dynamic leader to establish our Office of Digital Innovation (ODI). The Office will seek to make government more accessible and intuitive for the people it serves.
ODI will build on what we have learned about digital innovation in California, and bring it to scale. The Office will always start by seeking to understand what users want. It will use design, technology, data, and behavioral insights to iteratively work with departments to deliver better services for Californians. It will also bring its tools to bear on troubled projects to refocus efforts through discovery and rapid prototyping.
The Director of ODI will build a world-class team, create the culture, build the institution, and deliver real results. The Director will also become the de facto community leader and convener of innovators across the state. This is a tremendous opportunity to build a movement, and develop capabilities
