Reinventing government

In 'Reinventing Government', Osborne and Gaebler propose a shift from traditional bureaucratic models to an entrepreneurial form of government.

They present a ten-point solution that includes principles such as steering rather than rowing, empowering communities, encouraging competition, and being results-oriented.

The authors emphasize the need to combine market-oriented approaches with community-led initiatives to address bureaucratic problems effectively.

They argue that hierarchical, centralized bureaucracies are ill-suited for the modern, information-rich society and advocate for decentralization, quality control, and fiscal responsibility.

The book is based on extensive research and provides numerous examples of successful transformations in state and local governments.
