[ONLINE] - Power to the Public: Tackling Design Operations

In Power to the Public: The Promise of Public Interest Technology, authors Hana Schank and Tara McGuinness lay down a blueprint for how governments and nonprofits can harness the power of digital technology to solve public problems. The authors, who advise the New America's Public Interest Technology and New Practice Lab programs, respectively, offer a guide for utilizing joint strengths to serve the public – including design ops.
