William Eggers and Don Kettle's new book 'BRIDGEBUILDERS' isn't the first to address the issue of how Governments can 'catalyse' problem solving on the big issues. But it's a great updating, and refining, of the issues, methods and pitfalls of 'Bridgebuilding'. With lots of fascinating examples.
A worthy successor to 'Reinventing Government' (Osborne and Gaebler 1992) which three decades ago informed a lot of what the Clinton administration and Blair Government went on to do.
(This is the first in what I hope will be a mini-series around these issues).
