259:. Bonvillian had served as an advisor to MIT's 2010-13 manufacturing policy initiative, "Production in the Innovation Economy," that resulted in a two-volume study. He also served as an advisor for President Obama's Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP), a consortium of industry university and government experts, that issued major reports in 2012 and 2014. These became the basis for that administration's major technology policy initiative and led to the creation of sixteen advanced manufacturing institutes. The book explored the steep decline in U.S. manufacturing, the offshoring of industrial capacity, and the drop in manufacturing employment by one-third, in the 2000-2010 period. It reviewed the origins of the policy response to this dilemma, which came to be called "advanced manufacturing." It traced how an innovation systems effort was developed to strengthen the U.S. production system and the challenges that remain for implementing this approach.

innovation-resistant economic sectors that constitute most of the economy. The book set forth a conceptual framework to address what they argued had been a neglected problem in innovation theory, of bringing disruptive innovation to these legacy sectors. It added to previous models of the dynamics and stages of innovation, including the new concepts of "extended pipeline" and "manufacturing led" innovation, focusing on the importance of the mechanics of "innovation organization" to technology advance. It identified new drivers to surmount the barriers legacy sectors create to economic growth, including the role of institutional change agents.
274:. Focusing on manufacturing, healthcare, and retail sectors, the authors investigated programs that reimagine America's broken workforce education system, from short intensive courses that offer industry certifications to new models for apprenticeships. They examine new roles for community colleges, employers, governments, and universities in workforce education, and describe new education technologies that can deliver training to workers. They argue that building a new workforce education system will be key to improving the nation's problems with economic inequality and its need to improve productivity.

Throughout this period, he worked extensively on defense R&D legislation and policy, including for DARPA; as an advocate of the DARPA innovation model, he backed subsequent proposals for the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), for the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HS-ARPA) and the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency (IARPA).

After two years of law practice, he served from 1977–81 in the Carter Administration in the U.S. Department of Transportation, becoming a Deputy Assistant Secretary for the department's legislative program working on major transportation deregulation laws and other transportation initiatives. Subsequently, he worked as a partner at two Washington law firms.

DARPA supported the development of portable GPS, voice recognition software, stealth, autonomous vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles and, most famously, the Internet The book explored in detail the organizational models DARPA used to achieve these technology advances.
