As globalization reshapes the world, government and public sector leaders continue to focus on improving efficiency, productivity and finding better ways to provide services.

Many of the challenges governments face in 2012 look similar to the ones from 2011. Policy-makers are pursuing jobs and growth; volatility haunts the markets; government budgets are tight; and capital is shifting from North to South and from West to East.

Our 10th issue of Citizen Today pictures future prosperity by taking a closer look at these initiatives.

• Governments are helping entrepreneurs grow
• Arab spring nations explore new developments
• Japan continues earthquake and tsunami recovery
• US political appointees share their stories
• Telehealth sector grows with low patient costs

Within our own organization, we are embarking on a new future with Uschi Schreiber, who recently became our global government and public sector leader.

Additionally, we are currently undertaking a review of Citizen Today to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our readers around the world. We would be delighted to hear your feedback and look forward to receiving your suggestions, as well as offers to contribute your own insights.
