Demos and nef have produced extensive work around systems thinking, service design, futures thinking in public services, and measuring what matters. This event will bring these areas together to look at a practical, holistic approach to policy making. A series of short exercises will stimulate audience involvement, between addresses from expert speakers. The event aims to stimulate discussion and debate about approaches to reform and the politics of public services by looking at a selection of areas including: Evidence based policy making, politics and political life cycles in approaches to reform, the place of targets and measurement, barriers to fresh approaches to reform, and the significance of the ‘frontline’ in services.
