Humble, Curious, Outcome-Oriented
Today’s politics is often loud but low-calorie. We aspire to be the opposite, taking an iterative, learning approach to our work.
We are on a multi-decade journey to re-architect how ~35% of US GDP is planned for and spent—to achieve this audacious goal, we’ll need to learn a lot!
Here are some things we’ve learned so far:
There are amazing people in government
We need to partner with them to create conditions where they can deliver great results for all of us.
Politics and legislating is hard
But the even harder work is in governing, building state capacity, and implementation.
To succeed
We must work backward from outcomes to politics.
We will win or lose based on the strength of our coalition
Any one group can’t succeed alone.
It’s a decades-long undertaking
But we must also deliver “wins along the way.”
