Initiative on Government Improvement

Government affects every aspect of society—from the economy to the environment, from education to protecting public safety, from roads to food, to caring for the most vulnerable people. How well it performs has a powerful impact on our lives.

It is essential that governments and their multisector partners are efficient, effective, and ever-improving the value they provide to the people they serve. We’re here to help managers and organizations fulfill this monumental mission.
