Future-Ready State Agencies provides an immersive opportunity for State of Colorado agencies to integrate resiliency principles into their work. We recognize, and celebrate, that each agency will have different goals and outcomes due to a variety of factors including mission, goals, obligations, and more. This is tailorable to the goals of each agency and provides a lens through which to assess gaps, evaluate readiness for the future, and streamline efficiencies.
Upon completion of these workshops, State Agencies will be better equipped to adapt and thrive in the midst of changing conditions.
