Now We Know How to REINVENT STATE GOVERNMENT-Using Enterprise Lean and Reform Models (Reinventing Government and Industry Book 3)

State leaders caught up in the current budget crisis are weighing the options of cutting programs or raising taxes. You hear this almost daily from governors and politicians to TV news anchors nearly all are focused the two alternatives. But now we know how to reinvent State Government. There is a third option- making State Government efficient and effective. This book shows how to use Lean six Sigma with Reform Models developed by the author to reinvent State Government. The approach borrows the best and most successful methods from industry and applies them to government. This is a unique breakthrough solution which brings major reform to State government benefiting everyone who lives in the state (except for a few bureaucrats). With these reforms the State can balance its budget, have more resources for education and healthcare and still significantly reduce taxes creating jobs.

The timing of the reforms could not be better 46 states are having trouble balancing their budgets even after severely cutting many programs including education and health care. The implementation of the reforms in this book require that only those programs that remain after the cuts should be made more efficient. The good thing is that the reforms target the inherent inefficiency of the bureaucratic organization which has been left virtually untouched by the cuts states have made. All states can expect to see a 20% decrease in staffing costs from the implementation of the General Reform Model without any decease in services.

Other Reform Models target specific problem areas of government. The Streamlining Boards and Commissions Model implements a State Call Center that manages all the former activities of the Boards and Commissions. All Boards and Commissions that only supply information to the public will become redundant because that information can now accessed from the internet at the call center. Another reform: The Consolidation Reform Model focuses on consolidating duplicated service functions and agencies.

This book provides the details of how to implement the approach using Lean Six Sigma in Reform Models designed to fix specific government problems. There are also guided template scenarios of how to implement the reforms in a bureaucratic government. The book contains the secrets that bureaucratic government doesn’t want you to know and dispels long standing myths about government.
