Technology, Innovation & Government Reform
The Technology, Innovation & Government Reform Policy Working Group will help prepare the incoming Administration to implement the Innovation Agenda, which includes a range of proposals to create a 21st century government that is more open and effective; leverages technology to grow the economy, create jobs, and solve our country’s most pressing problems; respects the integrity of and renews our commitment to science; and catalyzes active citizenship and partnerships in shared governance with civil society institutions. The Working Group is organized into four sub-teams: (1) Innovation and Government, (2) Innovation and National Priorities, (3) Innovation and Science, and (4) Innovation and Civil Society.
Cheryl L. Dorsey Interviews Michele Jolin
As the Co-Chair of the Innovation and Civil Society subgroup of the TIGR group, on what did you specifically focus?
The President consistently has emphasized the importance of social innovation and civic engagement. He clearly recognizes the role that Americans can play in driving change in our society--filling health care gaps, transforming our nation's schools or leading energy conservation efforts. He has said: "When it comes to the challenges we face, the American people are not the problem--they are the answer."
Our work on developing the Administration's Social Innovation Agenda sat at the nexus of innovation and service and focused on strategies to make real the President's commitment to broad and long-term civic engagement including leveraging new media strategies to channel volunteers to public service opportunites; creative thinking on how to create a policy climate to spur greater innovation in the social sector; and outreach to various stakeholders in order to build the kind of cross-sector partnerships between government, nonprofits, foundations and corporations that will help drive the Social Innovation Agenda.
