The state in start-up mode.

Summary Public action today seems to face an impossible equation, between reduced resources and increased discontent. Traditional approaches to reform have failed. To this declinist approach, L'Etat en mode start-up opposes another vision, that of a reinvented public action, more agile and collaborative, "enhanced" by technological and social innovation. Digital transformation, citizen involvement, a rethinking of a uniform public service model in favor of a personalized approach, trust and accountability of those in charge of day-to-day public action: a new age of public action is taking shape. A new age of public action is taking shape, and a new generation of public actors is needed to bring it about. By giving a voice to some of them, this book shows that reform is possible, that it is often underway, and that it provides answers to the concerns of our society. Edited by Yann Algan, Dean of the School of Public Affairs at Sciences Po and professor of economics, specialist in the digital and collaborative economy, and Thomas Cazenave, Inspector of Finance, deputy director of the cabinet of the Minister of Economy, Industry and the Digital Economy, teacher at Sciences Po and ENA.
