Abstract

In May 2001, I participated in a conference on public sector reform in Jamaica. Along with other experts and change leaders we presented papers to 160 interested citizens and organizational representatives who gave up their weekend to hear about the exciting public sector modernization progress being made in their nation. Topics included the benefits of executive agencies, the burdens of bureaucratization, and the beauty of user-pay. Following two days of presentations, a distinguished gentleman near the back of the hall took to his feet.
