We know you want to do more good. We did, too.
Public servants by experience and at heart, Change and Innovation Agency’s (C!A®) team of talented and award-winning change agents understands first-hand the challenges that you and your team face as you perform the vitally important – and noble – work of government. Ravaged by years of CYA, budget cuts, reorganizations, and half-finished technology projects, however, the systems of government simply don’t have the capacity to keep up with ever-increasing demand and expectations.
To help government transform and overcome these challenges, it is critical to think differently about the systems of government. And that is what we bring to the table: a new way of thinking that challenges the status quo and offers proven, innovative approaches that work for government to recover lost production capacity, improve accuracy and timeliness, improve customer service, and discover methods to more efficiently deliver services at a lower cost.
Simply stated – together, we work with you and your team to increase your capacity to do more good.

Our raving fans
In the words of our clients…
You could take our word for it – or you could take the word of those who have worked with us. Frankly, we hope you do both.
When we met C!A, we were in a tailspin. Our caseloads increased by 35 percent, we had a massive reduction in our workforce, we were under a hiring freeze, our timeliness rates were atrocious—in some offices they were down to 28 percent. We had no resources to meet the increased demand. They came in, calm and peaceful, and gave us control over that chaos. And that office with the abysmal timeliness rates, it’s operating at 98.2 percent.
It all comes down to timeliness — how quickly you can deliver services to those who need them. That’s what our families care about, that’s what our legislators care about. With the transition to process management, we’ve turned our cycle time around. Applications that used to take 22 or 23 days to process, now take an average of 5.
