Agile Regulation: Gateway to the Future

The National Academy of Public Administration recently presented the results of a year-long effort to identify the Grand Challenges in Public Administration. These 12 challenges across four focus areas represent some of the most significant issues that governments at all levels face from a public administration standpoint over the next decade.

To address these Grand Challenges, the public sector must operate differently and work in new ways. A new agile paradigm has great potential to help government address these issues in a more effective, efficient, and equitable way. This new approach must make end-user satisfaction the top priority, empower teams, and utilize networks and innovation to solve complex problems.
