EXPONENTIAL GOV
In late 2015, Dustin embarked with his colleague Paul W. Taylor on a new research project to look at the future of public service through the lens of exponential trends. More importantly, they wanted to identify what the key characteristics would be of a government agency that embraced exponential trends to improve service delivery and internal operations. They wanted to answer the question - What would happen if public sector organizations optimized for exponential trends versus be disrupted by them? This work turned into Exponential Government, which has been leveraged by national, state, and local government agencies as a framework and operating model to reconcile the convergence of exponential trends.
Exponential Planning
One aspect of Dustin's research involved the way government agencies plan projects - whether technology or roadways - how how to account for the exponential pace of change across multiple verticals. The outcome of this research was the start of Exponential Planning, designed as a planing overlay for government agencies to use in all forms of projects.
