Investing in what works at the federal level: An interview with Jed Herrmann, Vice President for State and Federal Policy Implementation, Results for America – Episode #174

Gov Innovator Podcast

The nonprofit Results for America has been an important advocate of — and catalyst for — evidence-based policy and decision making over the last decade. It recently released two new resources: The 2020 Invest in What Works Federal Standard of Excellence (click to see the federal standard and the press release), as well as a similar What Works Standard of Excellence for states (click to see the state standard and the press release). Each report examines best practices in results-focused government and then highlights and tracks the progress of leading federal agencies and states against those practices.

To learn more about the findings and where we are today with evidence-based policymaking on the cusp of a new presidential administration, we are joined by Jed Herrmann (@HerrmannJed). He is the Vice President for State and Federal Policy Implementation at Results for America. He previously served at both the federal and local levels, including as a Senior Advisor to the CEO at the Corporation for National and Community Service and Chief of Staff and Deputy Commissioner at the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs.
