THE PEOPLE FACTOR
Strengthening America by Investing in Public Service

Thursday, April 2
5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Please RSVP here.

Facing the greatest challenges in more than 50 years, America is waking up to the realization that government is important. In their new book, "The People Factor: Strengthening America by Investing in Public Service," Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes and IBM Vice President W. Scott Gould argue that the country cannot prosper without a strong, highly-functioning federal workforce to run the government. The authors call for a commitment to invest $10 billion in better recruiting, training and management of the federal workforce, which they predict will yield $300-$600 billion in productivity gains. Packed with cost and performance data as well as new research on what motivates applicants for government jobs, these prior government executives provide a compelling business case for investing in the civil service to achieve significant benefits for the nation. A must read for policy makers, civil servants and citizens who demand more from government.
