DEFINING THE NEXT DECADE
Governing By Design
How can governments be more effective and innovative, responding rapidly to the needs of their constituents?
Millions of millennials interact with the government every day, through online services like healthcare.gov, getting a driver’s license at the DMV, analyzing financial aid options for college and higher education, or loans or grants to start their own companies. In this next session of Defining the Next Decade, we discuss the ways in which governments can leverage learnings and technologies developed by other industries and how policies can be better designed and more effectively implemented.

About Defining The Next Decade
In today's world, it's increasingly becoming more difficult for next-generation leaders to be optimistic about the future. Defining The Next Decade is a movement to get people thinking differently about the world. We are changing the conversation by bringing together pioneers across disciplines who are actively building the optimistic future.
Defining The Next Decade is a conversational series lead by Global Shapers, an initiative of the World Economic Forum. We are sharing the stories and ideas of individuals who are making a difference in their communities. By establishing conversations with those who are already creating change, we're leveraging communities to make the exponential impact.
