More to come on that very topic from @futuregovforum.bsky.social in the morning...

I've summarised the paper in a blog here. My co-author @shadibrazell.bsky.social has consistently reminded us that ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.' Collaboration has to be thought of across gov as both a value to cultivate and a skill to teach www.futuregovernanceforum.co.uk/2025/01/30/g...
