Reihe: ASPA Series in Public Administration and Public Policy

Public and nonprofit sectors undergo constant change, from widespread financial stress to the digital revolution to globalization and political polarization. However, in many settings, the concepts of public administration and policy are anchored in the past, and do not yet reflect the ability to adapt with real-world requirements. This book addresses adaptability and arms practitioners with the tools of flexibility from adaptive planning and performance through to workable financial strategies, how to analyze qualitative and quantitative indicators, how to harness technology changes, and much more. The book is presented for managers as well as self-study.
