Academy Experts Recommend Strategies for Managing Effectively in Post-9/11 World

“The events of September 11, 2001 revealed serious deficiencies in government organization, systems and management. National Academy of Public Administration Fellows recommend strategies to manage effectively in a post-9/11 world in Meeting the Challenge of 9/11: Blueprints for More Effective Government, published this month.

The book, edited by Fellow Thomas H. Stanton, tackles a wide range of issues, including designing an organization that provides a strong government capacity to deliver services citizens need and deserve; making the Undersecretary for Management a key linchpin in bringing DHS functions together; restoring the President’s capacity to manage effectively; using the imperative of national security to improve federal, state and local relations especially with critical services like police, fire and health; capitalizing on tested and proven management strategies to surmount new and upcoming challenges for our nation; sorting through constitutional alternatives for holding government contractors accountable for the work they perform; and transforming military personnel system policies to avoid staffing crises during the War on Terror.

“This book provides invaluable insights and recommendations on how to improve government organization and performance as our nation faces new and imposing threats here and abroad,” Academy President Howard Messner said.
