And what can public servants do to close the gap between great ideas and lasting impact? In this panel event with the co-authors of *The Policy Playbook*, we’ll explore what it really takes to make policy work across levels, departments and time. This session will bring together insights from practice, research and government to unpack the real-world journey of policy: how it’s shaped, adapted, challenged and delivered in complex systems. You’ll gain tested approaches for navigating uncertainty, designing policy around human behaviour and sustaining momentum in systems that resist change. Drawing on the panel’s decades of reform experience, this session provides the practical toolkit you need to move beyond policy intent and achieve measurable real-world impact. *Image Credit: Unsplash*
