Are You Creating Public Value?

In public service, the tension between "low cost" and "best value" is more than just a budgetary choice—it's a question of purpose. Are we clinging to outdated, minimalist views of government, or are we embracing its potential to create meaningful Public Value? If we focus solely on cutting costs, we risk stripping away the very value that public services are meant to provide. It's time to rethink our approach and prioritize outcomes that truly resonate with the communities we serve.
