Re-invent governance

Reinventors is a “series of virtual roundtables done over group video with innovators who can help figure out how to reinvent 20th-century systems to work in the 21st. Each session starts with an anchor interview of a remarkable “reinventor” who lays out his or her ideas on how to fundamentally reinvent a field and that flows into a roundtable discussion with other experts and innovators who can build off those ideas.”

This week, Jen Pahlka, founder and executive director of Code for America, led a roundtable that made the case that “a Reinvention of Government Bureaucracy may well be at an inflection point”:

“The number of successful experiments are reaching critical mass, those inside government are taking to innovation, public attitudes seem to be shifting, and the digital tools are ready for prime time.”
