Please join us on Thursday, February 6th at 10:00am ET for a virtual discussion about our State Capacity Initiative’s latest report, “The How We Need Now: A Capacity Agenda for 2025,” featuring the authors Jen Pahlka and Andrew Greenway.
Jen is a leading voice in the U.S. for bold yet pragmatic government reforms. Andrew brings a global perspective, drawing on his transformative work leading digital innovation in the UK. Together, they have crafted a roadmap for building a better government. In this webinar, Jen and Andrew will talk about the biggest opportunities and challenges they see in 2025.
Why does our government have so much trouble delivering on its policies? Why can it be so hard sometimes to get anything done in government? What can we do about all this?
This report offers a compelling diagnosis of the structural and cultural dysfunctions that hinder government performance and proposes actionable solutions. The paper calls for reforms in four key areas:
- Hire the right people, fire the wrong ones
- Reduce procedural bloat
- Invest in digital and data infrastructure
- Close the feedback loop around outcomes
Turning these ideas into meaningful reform is no simple task. As we look ahead to a new administration and Congress, we see a rare opportunity to advance these reforms.
