About this talk
How do you lead Civil Service teams in a time of immense disruption to working practices, heightened pressure for delivery, and demands for departments to better reflect the communities they serve?
Alex serves as Head of Profession for the Government Communications Service, which he was responsible for establishing. In a fast-changing media environment, overseeing pan-Government messaging for critical communications campaigns, how do you maintain momentum for reform?
David aims to create the world's best IP organisation in an ambitious five-year transformation programme. They're currently in second place. How do you lead a world-class team, following the challenges of the pandemic, to deliver more?
Sarah talks about the 'hyper-acceleration' of government over the past year - with digital skillsets enabling Government to move with unprecedented speed. But how can today's Civil Service leaders recruit for the technology opportunities of tomorrow?
