The firm’s insights aim to help IT leaders within the public sector effectively leverage emerging technologies and ensure that federal agencies can meet the growing demands of modern governance.

TORONTO, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – As federal governments face the increasing expectations and demands of citizens for digital transformation, global research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group advises that adopting an Exponential IT mindset will become crucial. Info-Tech Research Group’s new blueprint, Priorities for Adopting an Exponential IT Mindset in Federal Governments, outlines strategic insights and actionable plans for IT leaders within the sector to harness emerging technologies to streamline operations and improve public services, highlighting the critical role of technology in revolutionizing government functions. The research emphasizes the need for IT leaders to develop new skills and capabilities to navigate this transformative landscape effectively, ensuring their organizations can meet current demands and adapt to future challenges.

“The ability to leverage rapidly advancing technologies offers federal governments a significant opportunity to improve public services and streamline operations,” says Paul Chernousov, research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “As the pace of technological progress accelerates, government departments and agencies can harness the power of these innovations to revolutionize service delivery and create exceptional value for their citizens.”

Info-Tech’s blueprint highlights how the exponential advancement of technologies such as AI, machine learning, and quantum computing can drive significant improvements in public service delivery. By embracing these technologies, federal governments can create more efficient, transparent, and citizen-centric services. The firm explains in the new resource that the ability to process and analyze vast amounts of data allows for better decision-making and more personalized citizen experiences. The integration of advanced technologies can also help mitigate risks and ensure compliance with evolving privacy standards and regulations.

“IT leaders should adopt a strategic mindset to guide their organizations through the complexities of implementing new technologies if they want to successfully navigate this transformative landscape,” explains Chernousov. “They must develop new skills and capabilities to effectively embrace emerging technologies while mitigating associated risks. Keep in mind that increased digitization makes adhering to evolving privacy standards even more important.”

To assist federal IT leaders in navigating this complex landscape, Info-Tech’s blueprint provides a structured approach to transformation. It focuses on aligning technological advancements with strategic organizational goals, ensuring that IT initiatives are not only innovative but also sustainable and secure. By addressing the critical areas of risk management, technology governance, and leadership, federal agencies can position themselves at the forefront of public service innovation.

In Priorities for Adopting an Exponential IT Mindset in Federal Governments, Info-Tech identifies three key priorities for federal IT leaders to consider as they adopt an Exponential IT mindset to transform federal operations. Those priorities are outlined below at a high level:

Integrate IT & Enterprise Risk Management: This priority emphasizes the need for government IT leaders to align IT initiatives with enterprise risk management strategies. By improving cross-collaboration between IT and risk management functions, federal agencies can proactively manage risks associated with adopting exponential technologies and ensure system resilience.Lead New Technology Governance: Federal IT departments must adopt a more proactive role in governing the use of new technologies. This approach involves establishing formal processes to identify, allocate, and manage funds for innovation. Effective change management and leadership are crucial to overcoming resistance and fostering a culture of innovation within government agencies.Prioritize Human-Centered Leadership: Emphasizing human-centered leadership is essential for fostering a culture of innovation, empowerment, and collaboration within government organizations. By prioritizing employee engagement and continuous learning, government agencies can enhance public services and improve citizen experiences.

The blueprint also lays out the foundational capabilities necessary for a successful Exponential IT transformation, including adaptive delivery models, optimized operations, strategic relationship brokering, digital innovation, and workforce flexibility. These capabilities enable government IT departments to respond quickly to technological advancements and evolving citizen needs.

Info-Tech’s comprehensive research provides federal IT leaders with the tools and strategies needed to drive significant improvements in public service delivery. The firm advises that by adopting an Exponential IT mindset, federal governments can enhance operational efficiency, foster innovation, and build public trust.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
