The Harvard Policy Group (HPG) on Network-Enabled Services and Government serves as an advisory group to the LNW Program. The HPG, composed of senior-most practitioners in both government and industry, contributes to the thought leadership and substance of the LNW executive education offerings, research programs and content. Collectively, the group provides insight into the opportunities for advances in organizations presented by the heavily networked and cross-boundary environment in which the business of government must now operate.
