Summary:
"As the speed and complexity of the world increases, governments and nonprofit organizations need new ways to effectively tackle the critical challenges of our time--from pandemics and global warming to social media warfare. In
Power
to the
Public
, Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank describe a revolutionary new approach--public
interest
technology--that has the potential to transform the way governments and nonprofits around the world solve problems. Through inspiring stories about successful projects ranging from a texting service for teenagers in crisis to a streamlined foster care system, the authors show how
public
interest
technology
can make the delivery of services to the
public
more effective and efficient. At its heart,
public
interest
technology
means putting users at the center of the policymaking process, using data and metrics in a smart way, and running small experiments and pilot programs before scaling up. And while this approach may well involve the innovative use of digital
technology
,
technology
alone is no panacea -- and some of the best solutions may even be decidedly low-tech."
