Nick Kittle Joins Cartegraph as Government Performance and Innovation Coach

New partnership emphasizes Cartegraph’s commitment to building
high-performance government

DUBUQUE, Iowa–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cartegraph, a leader in high-performance government software and
services, announced today that Nick Kittle has joined the company as its
first-ever government performance and innovation coach. In this new
role, Kittle will lead local governments through their high-performance
journey and empower them to become more effective, efficient and
productive for their citizens.

“Cartegraph is changing the way cities, counties and states do business,
and we recognize that local governments need more than just software to
overcome the critical challenges they’re facing. Instead, the solution
lies in their people, their processes, and how they leverage their
technology,” said Jake Schneider, president and CEO. “Nick’s endless
enthusiasm for local government will help us build high-performance
cultures and leaders who are ready to take on new solutions, advance
business processes, and leverage data for every decision.”

In his new position, Kittle will craft a coaching program for a range of
government workers—from elected officials and department directors to
crew supervisors and field professionals—and use a variety of techniques
to help assess and improve organizational readiness along the journey to
becoming a high-performance government. This includes helping the public
sector build more effective and innovative teams, develop more efficient
processes, and produce measurable, actionable results.

“I am proud to be partnering with Cartegraph on their vision of
supporting high-performance government in more local governments across
the country. We share a vision of helping government be the best version
of itself and believe government is here to do together that which we
cannot—or should not—do alone,” said Kittle. “After meeting with the
Cartegraph team, it’s clear that this is a company that believes in
supporting those who service our citizens, and I am proud to be joining
the journey of communities across the country as part of this process.”

Before joining the Cartegraph team, Kittle served as the chief
innovation officer of Adams County, Colorado, where he managed the
organization’s performance, innovation, sustainability, business
solutions, and training and development efforts. Nick’s team won the
2017 Outstanding Achievement in Local Government Award from the Alliance
for Innovation, and prior to his work in Adams County, Nick worked in
roles such as public works director, administrative services director,
and innovation and sustainability director—founding one of the first
five civic innovation offices in the country.

Throughout his career, Kittle has owned and sold his own company, worked
for Fortune 100 companies, managed 17 separate government divisions, and
helped implement over 65 unique or first-of-its-kind pilot projects. He
is a nationally recognized civic innovator and public speaker, pioneered
the concept of “innovation value,” and trains local governments across
the country on innovation techniques.
