Dr. Schoop will share about the Obama administration’s approach to diffusing new strategies across the Federal government aimed at improving government services. He will discuss his experiences working in support of the development of an “Innovation Toolkit” aimed at current and future government workers, and the potential for its future under the current administration. Dr. Schoop will field questions from the audience. The SI Conversation series is aimed at young scholars, faculty, research partners– anyone interested in the ways their research efforts can connect with the pursuit of social innovations, i.e., new, effective, and system-aware solutions to persistent social problems are encouraged to attend.
