Knowledge is at the core of solving the world’s most pressing problems and is the principal source of success and advantage in the 21st century. Embodied as intellectual capital and applied by talented professionals, knowledge is a consulting firm's core asset.

Just as we advise our clients on how to manage their knowledge and tap the potential in this valuable asset, we shepherd our own thought leadership, aware that it enriches our value to clients. As with our client engagements, we bring a broad perspective to the development and dissemination of our ideas.

The thought leadership developed by IBM covers a broad spectrum of topics — and is shared in channels that range from reports and studies to books, papers, podcasts, broadcast, and interactive media.

The IBM Center for The Business of Government connects public management research with practice. Since 1998, we have helped public sector executives improve the effectiveness of government with practical ideas and original thinking. We sponsor independent research by top minds in academe and the non-profit sector, and we create opportunities for dialogue on a broad range of public management topics.

Since its creation more than 10 years ago, the Center has awarded nearly 300 research stipends to leading public management researchers in the academic and non-profit communities that have resulted in over 200 reports - all of which are available our site.

Our publications focus on the major management issues facing all governments today: e-government, financial management, human capital management, managing for performance and results, market-based government, and innovation, collaboration and transformation.

In addition to our publications, the Center produces The Business of Government Hour - an interview program with government executives who are changing the way government does business. The Business of Government Hour, hosted by Albert Morales, Managing Partner of the Center, has interviewed over 275 government executives about their careers, agency accomplishments and management, and the future of government in the 21st Century.
