In keeping with the philosophy of "innovation", case study applications are to address innovative excellence specific to "Making Magic – How Bold Can Government Be?" Applications should be related to one of the following topics:
  • Collaboration and Partnerships - Public-private partnerships, Public-public partnerships, Public-non-profit partnerships, Regionalism, Shared service delivery

  • Management Strategies for Continuous Improvement - How we position ourselves to act boldly -- Value added service delivery, Streamlined operations, Cross departmental teaming, Organization models – Reorganization, Measuring Performance

  • Public Involvement - New and innovative approaches to engaging citizens - Involving the public in priority setting, Citizen education - growing good citizens, Reaching new audiences, Communication techniques

  • Local Government Professionals Toolbox - Skills for today's leaders -- Scenario planning, SWOT, Strategic Planning, Building an effective learning program, Exposure to concepts like HPO, Lean, ISO

          Case Study presentations should be designed to be interactive and generally presented by a team (No less than two but preferably, not more than five). The
            intent is to inform and engage the audience and to avoid the "talking head" presentation.

                  If your presentation is going to include a private vendor, TLG/FCCMA reserves the right to move your application to our Solution Sessions. These sessions
                     are similar to Case Studies in that they focus on innovative new ideas that you as a local government have instituted to improve a part of your
                         organization in collaboration with a private sector company and will include your participation in the presentation.

                               All local governments are welcome to submit a case study application; you do not need to be an Alliance for Innovation or FCCMA Member.
                                     However, we do request an opportunity to meet with your organization to share the value and benefits of membership prior to the June
                                              conference.

                                                                 If your presentation/case study includes work with a private company we request the opportunity to speak with
                                                                              them about a sponsorship at the conference.
