Global Survey of Public Servants
Together with colleagues at the World Bank, Stanford University, and the University of Nottingham, I co-founded the Global Survey of Public Servants—the world’s largest comparative survey of public sector employees.
Covering over 30 countries, 1,000 government organizations, and more than one million public servants, the survey equips governments with tools to benchmark people management practices globally. It has amplified the voices of hundreds of thousands of civil servants and informed major reforms, including new civil service legislation, presidential decrees, and institutional management improvements.

Latin American Public
Employment and Pay Indicators
While all governments manage public payrolls, few fully exploit the potential of their granular payroll data to identify and address pressing workforce challenges—such as gender pay gaps, high turnover, inequities in compensation, or future skill shortages due to retirements.
In collaboration with colleagues at the Inter-American Development Bank and the University of Oxford, I have co-founded the Latin American Public Employment and Pay Indicators initiative—the world’s first systematic cross-country effort to analyze public sector payroll microdata and provide evidence for workforce reforms to governments.

The Survey of Employees in
National Statistical Offices
Government data is only as trustworthy as the professionals who produce it. How skilled are statistical officials in analyzing data? How motivated and ethical are they? And what can National Statistical Offices (NSOs) do to build a workforce that is competent, motivated, and ethically grounded?
The Survey of Employees in National Statistical Offices provides answers to these questions. I co-founded the survey in collaboration with the Inter-American Development Bank. The survey currently extends to over 13,000 statistical officials across 14 countries and has delivered more than 300 management diagnostics to NSOs and their departments.

Government Analytics Fellowship
To build government capacity to use data for better public management, I co-founded with World Bank colleagues the Government Analytics Fellowship and Online Course (MOOC). The teaching programs build on the Government Analytics Handbook—the world’s most widely read guide on how to measure public administration, which I co-edited with Dan Rogger.
The Fellowship is an intensive, in-person program that trains public managers and senior analysts in governments to use data to improve administration, and mentors them to deliver a high-impact analytics project within their government.
