Government is very good at preventing mistakes, but what if that comes at the expense of actually solving problems?

For decades, government reform efforts have focused on accountability, oversight and reducing risk. A new blueprint argues that approach may have left agencies better at avoiding failure than achieving success.

Rob Shriver is Managing Director of Civil Service Strong and Good Government Initiatives at Democracy Forward.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
