Results: Getting Beyond Politics to Get Important Work Done with Gov Charlie Baker
Join Innovate@BU and the Initiative on Cities for a discussion with former Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and his former Chief of Staff Steve Kadish on their book Results: Getting Beyond Politics to Get Important Work Done. At its core, Results is a manual for government and business leaders to use for results-oriented problem-solving. With a broad range of examples – that span everything from rural broadband access to reforms of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families to the COVID-19 pandemic – Baker, a Republican, and Kadish, a Democrat, show how to move from identifying problems to achieving results in a way that bridges divides instead of exacerbating them. They show how government can be an engine of positive change and an example of effective operation, not just a hopeless bureaucracy. Innovate@BU Executive Director Siobhan Dullea will moderate the discussion and Q&A. Following the talk, Governor Baker will be available for a book signing with attendees – and the first 50 attendees will receive a free copy of the book!
