Policy and delivery are both essential to the provision of services to communities.
But all too often, they’re kept apart in silos, resulting in miscommunication and misunderstanding.
Watch this free online workshop, organised in collaboration with the UK’s Department for Education, to learn how to go beyond simply bringing policy and delivery together, and how to fully unite the two. You’ll explore how integrating policy and delivery can result in a clearer vision, stronger strategic alignment, and a better user experience.
Who should watch:
This workshop is for public servants and policymakers interested in learning how to unite policy and delivery, whether you’re currently on a policy team, a delivery team, or both.
This workshop will be recorded and the recording will be sent to all registrants.
