WHAT IS IT ?

NetResults is your opportunity to participate directly in reinventing government. And we invite you to join us - - to create a government that "Works Better and Costs Less!"

NetResults is a growing network of people and teams working together to reinvent government. It was created in the fall of 1993 to explore a team-based, open-network approach to implementing the recommendations of the National Performance Review.

As an umbrella network of networks, NetResults fosters the development of teams which span agencies and departments, cross public-private sector boundaries, and link federal, state, and local governments.

Because change leaders and teams require good information to make good decisions, NetResults is committed to providing useful information to anyone, anywhere, who wants to help reinvent government. So we have established a technical network to bring you news about what is happening elsewhere--innovations, reinvention labs, NPR reports on specific areas, executive orders, and other items of interest.

We created this FAQ as our way of introducing ourselves and the people networks to you. We also created this document to serve as your "Road Map" to using the technical network. We hope that you will find it helpful and, more importantly, that you will join us.
