“Worth a read for anyone who cares about making change
happen.”—Barack Obama A powerful new blueprint for how
governments and nonprofits can harness the power of digital
technology to help solve the most serious problems of the
twenty-first century 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. Clear-eyed yet profoundly optimistic,
Power to the Public presents a powerful blueprint for how
government and nonprofits can help solve society’s most serious
problems.
