A major new project, led by the US Office of Personnel Management, aims to replace the various HR information systems of federal agencies and departments with a single, unified system. The new tool, which will feature a single database for all government staff, should make it possible to increase inter-service mobility. The specifications stipulate that the prototype delivered by the contractor must use blockchain technology.

For the Dutch administration, it is not enough to simply attract the best young talents – it is important to make them want to stay. The government has launched a training program for "high potentials", in a bid to help participants develop the personal skills (creativity, leadership) that will enable them to become agents of change in their various departments.

Twenty-four stakeholders in the world of training – including School 42, Openclassrooms, Numa, and Lab Rh – have joined forces within France Apprenante, a collective to promote new training methods. They have set a target of 20% of companies' training budgets devoted to innovative offerings. The collective is also focused on helping local authorities develop public-private partnerships to finance their digital transformation.
