SUMMARY:National Book Launch: \"If We Can Put a Man on the Moon: Getti
 ng Big Things Done in Government\"
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder why some government programs succeed brilliant
 ly - leaving popular legacies in their wake - while other programs str
 uggle to achieve their promise and full potential?\n\nIn their new boo
 k, \"IF WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE MOON: Getting Big Things Done in Gover
 nment,\" (Harvard Business Press 2009), NAPA Academy Fellow and Deloit
 te Research Director William D. Eggers and Harvard Kennedy School Seni
 or Fellow John O'Leary help answer the question: \"Why do some program
 s triumph while others fail?\" Based on an in-depth examination of 75 
 major government initiatives since World War II, the authors offer sug
 gestions on how to understand and avoid common pitfalls that trip up p
 ublic sector leaders during the journey from idea to results.\n\nThis 
 2-hour national launch event promises an engaging, insightful - even h
 umorous--discussion on how to increase the odds of translating policy 
 ideas into successful initiatives. Join the debate with an esteemed pa
 nel from the National Academy of Public Administration, Partnership fo
 r Public Service, Senior Executives Association, and Government Execut
 ive Magazine. And, join us in recognizing NAPA Chairman Emeritus Dwigh
 t Ink, one of the longest-serving senior public servants in the post w
 ar era, whose career is profiled in the book.\n\nTo register, please v
