The Reinvention Revolution Town Hall Wall
"I told the Cabinet at Blair House that they would know they had succeeded with reinvention when all the people in their departments understood the goals and values of the organization, and could use them to adjust to quickly changing circumstances. I also said how federal employees would recognize success: When they wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep right away, they will be thinking about how to do their jobs better.
When reinvention has taken hold federal employees do that. Their faith in the system has been restored. Applied to every part of government, these ideas can do the same for America."
- Vice President Al Gore, "The Blair House Papers""This Wall System has far reaching application for reinventing government."
"It is clear from the first two days that the Reinvention Revolution is gathering momentum. Short term results, the quality of commitment of attendees, struggling with the right obstacles and issues - building creativity into organization and refusing complacency of success."
"Human creativity is a profound technology. It not only produces, it synchronizes, balances and regenerates the creator. It is an important word to be included in governmental activities."

Federal executives, managers and employees posted several hundred comments, sharing their thoughts on reinvention efforts in their agencies. Comments targeted accomplishments, existing and emerging opportunities, barriers and requirements to change, plus a lot more.
