Do we have enough trained people to run the systems we already have?

The capacity question

Capacity means people, training, systems, accountability, succession planning, and tools.

Capacity gaps

Healthcare: nurses, doctors, administrators, compliance, quality.

Justice: attorneys, advocates, judges, court staff.

Education: teachers, faculty, accreditation expertise.

Government: managers, auditors, analysts, procurement, HR.

Signature questions

What shortage of trained people concerns you most? Do we have enough qualified people to run government effectively? What training should be required for someone seeking your office?
