The Art of Public Strategy

`Geoff Mulgan’s deep insights into the politics of change derive from a profound understanding of the dynamics of modern societies, impressive creativity in the design of new social institutions, and an abiding commitment to social progress. His work has informed the thinking of public officials at the top of the pyramid as well as social entrepreneurs at the grass roots, and it should be widely read and studied.‘Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and author of Confi dence and World Class
