Sparking competitive spirit to repair broken public systems
In short: Public sector strategist Abhishek Gopalka explores how to fix failing infrastructure by shifting the human element. Instead of just changing rules, he argues for changing what makes people care through transparency and accountability.
Gopalka illustrates his strategy by detailing how he improved the health system in Rajasthan, India—a state with over 80 million people. The core thesis is that motivation is not innate; it requires a structural shift that triggers a person's competitive spirit.
By implementing public accountability and transparency, systems can move from stagnation to active participation. The goal is to create an environment where individuals are motivated to drive change because the system finally makes them care.
