This report from UK think tank the Future Governance Forum takes stock of the government’s progress and offers answers to build a more responsive state.

Setting mission-driven government up to succeed requires a radical overhaul of the state: not just its structures and processes, but its culture, capabilities and ways of working.

In our submission to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee’s Mission Government Inquiry, we take stock of the government’s progress and offer practical answers for how to overcome the barriers to mission-driven government and build a more capable, responsive state.

This submission draws on FGF’s back-catalogue of research, in particular Mission Critical 01: Statecraft for the 21st century, our flagship missions paper published alongside the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP).
