CSR for government

     Recently, a friend asked me a question that another friend posed to him:  "What do you think could create the biggest change in government for the better?"  He gave me 30 seconds to think and answer.  Feeling the pressure, my mind started racing.  Just when my time was about up, it finally hit me: CSR.  The theme of this blog and my greatest area of interest in business. 

     It just makes sense.  Instead of basing decisions on political affiliation, why not base them on CSR.  Considering the components of CSR in every decision would inherently incorporate integrity into them.  If every policy were designed based on considerations of transparency/ethics, environmental impact, impact on all people involved, and the benefit it could bring to those it implicates, then the government would inherently be trying its best every time.

     It is quite the lofty goal, and I'm sure will only ever exist in my imagination.  Nonetheless, it is the answer I believe in. 

    What's yours?
