Cosponsored by the Carsey School of Public Policy, the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Policy, and Results for America.
Panel discussion with Results for America Senior Fellow Jim Shelton, former deputy secretary for the U.S. Department of Education under President Obama; Ron Haskins, former senior advisor on welfare policy to President Bush; David Medina, COO and co-founder of Results for America; and John Bohenko, city manager of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The panelists will share their candid thoughts on opportunities to apply Moneyball principles to the social sector. Their bi-partisan approach is important for policy makers and stakeholders from both sides of the aisle, and from all levels of government.
A bipartisan group of current and former federal government leaders and advisors recently published a best-selling book, Moneyball for Government, based on an initiative of Results for America that encourages government to change how it works so that data, evidence, and evaluation drive policy and funding decisions. The book draws from the wisdom of Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland A’s, who transformed baseball by ignoring the scouts and using data to build championship contending teams despite limited budgets. Moneyball for Government also features profiles of innovative government and nonprofit leaders and organizations across the country, that are successfully leveraging data, evidence, and evaluation to get better results.
Join the Carsey School of Public Policy, the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Policy, and Results for America for a panel discussion examining how policy makers can rethink strategies for improving the quality of social services through innovative, data-driven strategies.
