"Innovating with Integrity" presents a comprehensive portrait of
the local heroes - front-line public servants and middle managers -
who are reinventing state and local government, and it offers
practical recommendations for innovating successfully. Based on a
study of more than 200 successful government innovations, this book
is the first large-scale, systematic analysis of innovation in
American government. Sandford Borins identifies the components of
integrity that he finds in successful innovators, including the
intellectual discipline to plan rigorously and to establish
measurable goals; the ability to collaborate with others and
accommodate criticism; and a willingness to mobilize both the
private sector and the community. In addition to analyzing the
common traits driving new initiatives, Borins shows the distinctive
differences among six areas of innovation: information technology,
organizational redesign, environmental and energy management,
policing and community development, social services, and education.
This trenchant analysis of what initiatives actually work and why
contributes to both the practice and theory of public management.
Its practical advice will be especially valuable for front-line
government workers, public managers, union leaders, agency heads,
politicians, and all concerned with reforming government.
