American institutions from Congress to federal agencies are burdened by outdated procedures, analog systems, and slow-moving decision-making structures that were designed for a different era. While the world has accelerated, many of our most important public systems have stagnated or become inefficient, opaque, and distrusted.

To meet the challenges of the next century, we must redesign not just what our institutions do, but how they function. Modern institutions must be transparent, technology-aware, and responsive to the needs of a diverse and evolving nation.
