8: FLAGSHIP INITIATIVES
Select four flagship initiatives. Other Information:
On the water, a flagship is the largest, fastest, leading ship. These same attributes apply to GSA’s flagship initiatives.
The Office of Management and Budget directed GSA to describe at least one specific new transparency, participation, or collaboration
initiative being implemented or planned — a flagship initiative. GSA selected four flagship initiatives to highlight in this
section: * Terms of service agreements; * Open government public engagement tool; * Challenges and prizes platform; and *
Public engagement platform. GSA’s Current and Future Open Government Activities within 1-3 Years. Each of these flagship initiatives
can impact every federal government agency in keeping with GSA’s mission to support federal agencies in conducting their missions.
Both the Terms of Service Agreements negotiated by GSA and the Open Government Public Engagement Tool enable federal agencies
to be more open and communicative with the public. The Challenges and Prizes Platform will further enable agencies to encourage
public involvement. The Citizen Engagement Platform focuses on agencies’ ability to use social media tools that are accessible
to persons with disabilities. Through these efforts, GSA supports the administration’s goal of creating a more open government
and fosters openness for the entire federal government. Appendix 5 contains the high-level milestones and timelines depicting
where GSA plans to be over the next 1-3 years and Appendix 6 maps the alignment of the Flagship Initiatives to GSA’s strategic
and high-priority goals.
