A fundamental, but mostly hidden, transformation is happening in the way public services are being delivered, and in the way local and national governments fulfill their policy goals. Government executives are redefining their core responsibilities away from managing workers and providing services directly to orchestrating networks of public, private, and nonprofit organizations to deliver the services that government once did it. How managers on both sides of the aisle, public and private, are coping with the changes is discussed in this book. Drawing from dozens of case studies, as well as established best practices, the book tells us what works and what doesntt. This is a roadmap for actually governing the networked state for elected officials, business executives, and the broader public.
