Rather than a tech upgrade, modernization is about rethinking how your state agency operates, collaborates, and delivers public value through digital transformation.
With 2026 around the corner, state and professional licensing boards are evaluating their progress and asking a practical question: Where do we stand on modernization?
To help answer that, we created the 2026 Planning Worksheet, a simple yet powerful tool designed to help agencies assess their current state, define where they want to be, and identify the biggest opportunities for improvement.
Why It Matters
Although government on the whole has rapidly advanced digitally, every individual agency is on a different path. Some have already connected their licensing and enforcement systems; others are still managing data in spreadsheets and paper forms. The worksheet helps leadership teams see exactly where they fall on the Modernization Meter — from Manual to Modernized — to align and establish next steps.
How It Works
- Assess Your Current State: Rate how true key modernization statements apply to your agency today.
- Define Your 2026 Vision: Score where you want to be by the end of 2026.
- Reveal the Gap: Compare your scores to uncover your agency’s biggest opportunities for progress.
- Interpret Your Results: Use the Modernization Meter to identify whether you’re Manual, Fragmented, Digital, Streamlined, or Modernized.
