From Bureaucracy to Vitality: Transforming Public Organizations

Successfully navigating the unprecedented challenges facing government agencies—crumbling infrastructure, substandard schools, sluggish productivity growth, and declining public trust—requires organizations that are truly vital: daring, resilient, entrepreneurial, and engaging. The biggest obstacle to that vitality is the prevailing outdated, industrial-era management systems that prioritize compliance over performance, rules over reason, and analysis over action. 

In this session, we'll explore how public sector leaders can transform their organizations by moving beyond these industrial-era practices. Drawing from successful transformations, we'll examine practical strategies for creating more entrepreneurial, agile, and results-driven public organizations that can restore government's capacity for bold action.
