INTRODUCTIONIf there’s anything certain about reform, it’s that it will cross your path—ready

or not. What’s causing this climate of reform? We can point to a whole host of

triggers—from shrinking budgets and demands for greater efficiencies, to calls for

innovative delivery of public services, to changing threats, economic drivers, and

more. Regardless of whether or not reform is mandated, agencies can jump-start

their response and maximize their success by looking at past reforms as well as

applying new innovative thinking.

REALITY OF REFORMIn some way, shape, or form, reform affects us all—the Government, the private sector, and the public. Some reforms are mandated by Congress and the Administration, other reforms are a result of a new leadership vision. And the game of reform is different in terms of how we communicate, what we expect, and how fast information travels.

Section 1.0

Reform can be a comprehensive or piecemeal shift in the Government’s approach to a service, organization, or policy area, such as immigration, housing, IT, acquisition, climate, or cybersecurity. This can be a result of a leader’s new organizational vision or because of requirements generated by Congress or the Administration. Reform, whether mandated or not, shares all of these attributes:

• Born From a Call to Action: Generated from environmental factors and triggers

• Can be a Choice or Not: Unique mandated directive, whether by executive order, legislation, or a new vision to achieve organizational success; can be funded or unfunded

•Involves a Broad Network of Players: Affects many different entities, including the Administration and Congress, government agencies, industry, and the public

• Attracts Attention: Highly visible, high stakes, and often garners global interest

• Presents Opportunity: Provides the chance to reimagine an organization’s mission

Even though it is not always a choice, reform is an opportunity for your agency to shine and achieve everything from incremental improvements to breakthrough change for the country.

REFORM IS THE ‘NEW NORMAL’

Today’s news headlines signal the winds of change before us. In the past five years alone, reforms and new executive orders are popping up everywhere and becoming the new normal—financial reform, immigration reform, health care reform—and the list goes on. Even a quick Internet search on the term Government Reform returns more than 500 million results. Agencies

RIPPLE EFFECTS OF REFORM:• Dodd-Frank affected 14 agencies

and created 5 new agencies• Immigration reform could impact

14 federal departments and agencies as well as state, local, and tribal governments

• Affordable Care Act impacted 7 different agencies

are impacted by multiple types of reform that are all in various stages of maturity. This means that you have to plan, implement, and institutionalize reform in coordination with all the impacted players and all at the same time.

It’s not a matter of whether you will be impacted by reform, it’s a matter of when. Are you ready?

SOCIAL MEDIA’S IMPACT ON REFORM

iMarch @imarch May 2013In 48 hours, the #iMarch movement organized a virtual march on Twitter and Facebook, posting more than 60,000 Twitter and Facebook messages to Congress members about pending immigration reform.

We The People @wethepeople December 2012 The We The People initiative by the White House allows citizens to create online petitions. Following the Sandy Hook shooting, a petition to reform gun control reached 100,000 signatures within 24 hours.

Reddit @reddit August 2012 President Barack Obama’s AMA (Ask Me Anything) on Reddit accumulated more than24,000 comments and 5.6 million views, making it the site’s most-viewed post in 2012.

Twitter @twitter Summer 2013 President Obama’s twitter account had almost 9,500 tweets and more than 34,000,000 followers. House Speaker Boehner’s account had more than 11,000 tweets and almost 500,000 followers.

change.org @changeorg March 2012 The change.org petition, “Tell USDA to STOP Using Pink Slime in School Food!” accumulated more than 200,000 signatures in nine days, prompting the USDA to announce that it would offer school districts a choice of beef without the filler starting in fall 2012.

PUBLICEXPECTATIONS IN A DIGITAL WORLDThe success or failure of reform efforts can no longer be buried in lengthy congressional reports. In an era where people instantly voice their opinions and respond at a grassroots level, the court of public opinion is a lot more crowded.

• Social media has changed the game; it can generate a viral swell of public demand WHAT YOU CAN DO: USE SOCIAL MEDIA AS A FORCE MULTIPLIER AND FOSTER A TWO-WAY CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THOSE IT SERVES.

• Global transparency and the 24/7 news cycle mean your performance is made public—and fast. WHAT YOU CAN DO: DESIGN YOUR SUCCESS MEASURES AND PUBLICIZE THEM.

• Interconnected players require a more inclusive approach for complex planning WHAT YOU CAN DO: SIMULATE YOUR SITUATION TO DETERMINE HOW TO AVOID OVERLAPS, FOCUS LIMITED RESOURCES, AND ANTICIPATE DOWNSTREAM IMPACTS.

• Technology has increased the convenience of our everyday lives, from shopping and entertainment to banking. The public expects the same from its Government. WHAT YOU CAN DO: GO MOBILE AND MAKE YOUR DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM WORK FOR YOU.

Imagine if…

#TaxPayerBillofRightsImagine for a moment that the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 happened today. The Twittersphere would light up in a real-time debate as congressional hearings stream live on a Google Hangout from attendees’ smartphones.

UNRAVELING THE MYSTERY OF REFORMWe deconstructed and reframed mandated change to identify a repeatable path to success.

Section 2.0

A SNOWFLAKE CAN START AN

AVALANCHE

When you’re faced with reform, you need to make a lot of decisions, and some can have unintended consequences. The key to dealing with the complexity and uncertainty of change is to understand the journey that many have walked before and combine that with the advantages of today’s environment. At a minimum, you should explore the questions on the right. In addition to these questions, you should learn and adopt the lifecycle that’s common across all types of reforms—big and small, mandated and not mandated. This type of change follows a common path to success—a path that, once understood, can drive your success.

Questions to ask before embarking on reform:

1. Where do I begin, how should our operations change, and what can I do to prepare?

2. Who are the people I am serving and how do I engage them?

3. What other agencies and industries are impacted and how do I work with them?

4. What resources and enablers do I need and how do I find them?

5. How do I know when I’m done and how do I prove success?

CALL TO ACTIONA call to action serves as the catalyst for mandated reform or any nonmandated change. It stems from a variety of environmental factors and triggers. A call to action can be triggered by a gradual swell in public demand fueled by today’s technology or by extreme and sudden circumstances—a financial meltdown, a threat to national

security, or a natural disaster. Missing a call to action can have many consequences, including public harm and decreased organizational credibility; recognizing a call to action can change the power equation and put you in the driver’s seat. The call to action can differ for each reform type and can dictate how you approach organizational change.

REIMAGINING REFORM With the path of change before you, there are important steps you must take along your way to success. While these steps are common across all reforms, they may be iterative and occur at different stages in your journey.

Reform offers the opportunity to rethink the strategy and reimagine the model; you don’t get the chance often, so take advantage of it.

Reform offers you an opportunity to take a

fundamentally new approach to your mission. This is

rare and calls for a moment of reflection. Break free

of constraints and challenge yourself to explore and

discover; imagine and visualize the desired end state.

Once you have that new vision in mind, plan to take

action. The plan should include not only your organization

but all the players that are impacted or have a role. Think

about short and long-term impacts, how your operations

will scale, timelines, and the resources you need—talent,

technology, mechanisms, and infrastructure.

TOOLS IN ACTION:

• Create a visual Policy Map and analyze it to help you plan for what matters

Policy maps can:

- Clarify how different organizations interact with one another on pertinent issues

- Identify and analyze potential points of friction

- Identify shortfalls and opportunities

• Don’t forget to conduct a cyber impact assessment to alleviate security and privacy risks

In some cases, reform is accompanied by a budget to implement

change—this could be direct appropriations or funded through

a share of a fee account. Organizations must understand the

intent of the money and manage it wisely. With other types of

change, you’ll need to “find the money” by identifying operational

efficiencies and making resource tradeoffs. This requires time, so

start early and run budget scenarios to help you understand how

various decisions impact your new strategy. Funded or unfunded,

the need isn’t going away.

TOOLS IN ACTION:

• Develop cost models and run scenarios to help rebalance priorities, determine cost tradeoffs, and design investment scenarios to maximize the return to your mission; reform could pay for itself, and it also could pay for other mission areas due to cost savings and increased productivity

• Explore how strategic sourcing and shared services can help you free up resources

• If you contract support, explore the use of performance-based contracts with incentives

Reform doesn’t recognize market subtleties or organizational

boundaries. Mandated and leadership-directed changes are

universal threads woven through the fabric of government

agencies, private institutions, the public, and other

stakeholders. Without clear and decisive leadership, this thread

can easily become unraveled. But those with the strength to

carry the vision forward will align the network players, prepare

employees, drive effective decision-making, and achieve

desired outcomes. Be deliberate in your approach to leading

reform—both inside and outside of your organization.

LEAD THE WAY

THE CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU PRIORITIZED THE INITIAL STAND–UP OF ITS MISSION AREAS, ALLOWING IT TO FOCUS ON STARTING UP A CONSUMER COMPLAINT MODEL THAT WOULD PROVIDE THE MOST IMMEDIATE RELIEF TO ITS CORE STAKEHOLDERS: THE AMERICAN CONSUMERS.

When it comes to reform initiatives, constituents won’t measure

success by checking off the “meets requirements” box. They expect

to see actions taken that build and maintain momentum toward the

desired end state. Your progress will be monitored and measured by

the public, Congress, and other stakeholders. Proactively reporting

on success will motivate employees and rally public support for your

initiatives. It’s important to get out of the gate early and demonstrate

value immediately, even if it’s incremental. Establishing your benchmarks

and success metrics early in the process is critical; otherwise, the media,

the public, or Congress may do it for you. Once your change efforts are in

full swing, maintaining a steady drumbeat of positive outcomes will keep

critics at bay. It will also build goodwill in the eyes of your constituents,

lest you encounter a hitch along the way.

TOOLS IN ACTION: DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT

• Create two-way engagement with constituents by forming your digital hypothesis, conducting digital listening, and evaluating your return on engagement

• Harness the public’s natural inclination to innovate and design as a force multiplier

LEAVE A LASTING IMPRESSIONReform is difficult to develop, hard to implement, and even harder to maintain, especially when implemented over many years. Yet the true value of reform can only be realized once it’s embedded in the organization, embraced by staff, and its value is delivered to the intended audience.

Take your journey to the next level by injecting innovation—seize the opportunity… REFORM CAN OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOME TO EXPLOIT

CHANGES FOR PERSONAL GAIN. TO MAKE MANDATED CHANGE TRULY STICK, USE TECHNOLOGY, SUCH AS BIG DATA, FRAUD ANALYTICS, AND ADVANCED BIOMETRICS, TO PREVENT BAD ACTORS FROM UNDERMINING THE SYSTEM.

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITYLean forward into reform with an open mindset that allows you to envision new possibilities and spark innovation.

Section 3.0

Page 23: Reform Playbook

LEAN FORWARD INTO REFORMLean forward with everything you’ve got. The seeds of innovation are buried within the soil of reform—find those seeds and enable them to flourish.

Tap into the reform innovation levers to raise your gaze and amplify your impact even more. When Congress creates mandated change, it isn’t necessarily focused on innovation but on policy. With mandated change, your opportunity is to implement the requirements in a way that transforms the mission today with an eye toward the future. With leadership-directed change, you get to define the requirements and figure out the best way to carry them out.
