Jamie Bartlett and Simon Parker have worked together with the State Services Authority of the Victoria State Government to produce a provocation paper exploring the concept of agility in government, as part of an ongoing project.
The paper addresses the need for agility in the public sector environment, and seeks to provoke debate on how agility might aid government in meeting changing citizen needs, and in shaping those needs in the first place.
Responses
While in Australia doing research for the Agile Government project, Dr Geoff Gallop, former Premier of Western Australia and now Director of the Graduate School of Government, University of Sydney, presented an excellent formal response to the provocation paper. It can be downloaded here.
