Former Vice Presidential National Security Advisor Leon Fuerth, working with Evan Faber, has released a white paper that has been a decade in the making.  The paper describes how the federal government is increasingly facing challenges of greater complexity that demand faster action than the current institutional structures can respond to effectively.

John's summary of the Fuerth Faber paper is fabulous. He did a great job at capturing the essence of the paper. Policy Horizons Canada, a federal foresight organization, identifies with the ideas and has written about them too. Government can overcome complexity while respecting budget constraints, encouraging collaboration and promoting democracy.

Jane Fedorowicz

This report offers practical advice to public managers and political leaders who are addressing complex public challenges through multi-organizational networks.  The use of collaborative networks of organizations has matured in the past decade.  However, the developers of collaborative networks face political, organizational, and technological challenges in a world accustomed to the traditional, hierarchical approach to problem-solving and accountability.

Toward Greater Transparency and Accountability in Government

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 - 16:02
Posted by:

The future’s going to be different. Just look at today’s generation. It participates in massively distributed, role-playing games on the Internet, like World of Warcraft. As a result, young people develop their leadership skills differently. They share information and make decisions differently. They engage in teamwork and collaborate differently. It’s all about your contributions, not your rank or position. They are called “digital natives.” This isn’t how government works today.

During the reinventing government era there were efforts to work across agency lines that were successful particularily in the area of land management. There was and still is a fair amount of "back office"networking between agencies with common tasks and problems. The Forest Service"s Collaborative Stewardship, a reinvention effort, is a good example of what we need. The skills and lists of need to do NOW projects also exist at the field level. The greatest problem for moving more and more to field level is the fact the past eight years have left the Federal Civil Service a basket case. I believe that there is a reserve force that has not been touched in the retired Federal Civil Servants who have look with horror on what has happened and feel a duty to help.
