Standing Panel Charter

This charter governs how the Standing Panel operates.

Strengthening Organizational Health and Performance in Government

How can the federal government improve agency and unit-level organizational health and performance?

Strategic Foresight

Does it make any sense for the government to think long term? We’ve done it before – think about the interstate highway system, the race to the Moon, or the evolution of the Internet.
