Public Enterprise

Dave Richards

Chapter Chapter 21 in The Seven Sins of Innovation, 2014, pp 254-261 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Today, we need governments that recognize the unacceptability of business as usual. We need leaders willing to make tough decisions. We can’t survive by tweaking and trimming. We need true value model innovation on a national and global scale. We need new approaches to delivering essential services and a tough re-examination of which services are dinosaurs or sacred cows. Why do we need so much duplication? Why do we need so many levels of government, or levels of management within government? Why do we need so many people to “represent us” in an age where, with the click of a mouse, we can express our views? These are just a few of the tough questions we must now ask and answer.
