Summary:

For local government institutions to effectively solve community concerns and complex problems, a new tool kit and expanded skills are needed in the 21st century. Public institutions need to be adequately equipped to address the continually escalating needs faced by society surrounding education, jobs, food insecurities, and homelessness. During the global pandemic of 2020, local U.S. governments learned to tackle larger-than-life emergencies by expanding traditional policy boundaries, embracing a growth mindset, and implementing solutions to problems with creativity, agility, and collaboration. Because the three economic sectors of a society-public, private, and nonprofit-contribute to solving society's complex problems, the need for collaborative relationships between them all is important. Through the engagement of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, cities across the United States have created a "dynamic capability" to adapt resources and contributions to expedite relief.This case presents a fictional scenario of an urban city in which the partnership between local public, private, and nonprofit sectors interact to develop a flood emergency plan. This scenario can represent a situation in thousands of cities across the United States. Four different dynamics are faced by community leaders: leadership challenges, conflicting stakeholder priorities, resource constraints, and political pressures. Various approaches to problem-solving-which are the consequences of the impact of diverse priorities, alignment of government policies, and motivation of the various parties-are also witnessed. Students will be asked to identify leadership challenges, analyze conflicting stakeholder priorities, and assess how public and nonprofit leaders made ethical and political decisions, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the collaborative flood emergency plan. To propose solutions that balance community needs, organizational missions, and government policies, students will apply business concepts such as stakeholder management, strategic alignment, and collaborative leadership.
