A Recording of the WIG Webinar: Mission-led Approach to Government with Ravi Gurumurthy, Group Chief Executive Officer, Nesta
This is a pre-election briefing special exploring the real meaning of mission-driven government and the potential implications for those across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
With a potential change in government comes a new approach to problem-solving and decision-making. The idea of grouping key policy missions is a likely way of organising manifestos, but how will government put these into practice?
Watch now to:
• Understand the approach and benefits of a mission-driven government
• Explore the role of cross-sector collaboration in this new style of decision-making
