Research
At Re:State, I write about how to make governments work better. My work includes:
- Everythingism: an essay (on how policymakers forgot about trade-offs).
- Making the grade: Prioritising performance in Whitehall (on the issues of identifying and managing talent and performance in Westminster)
- Getting the machine learning: Scaling AI in public services (on the failures of government to use new digital technology, and how to overcome those to adopt AI)
Other writing
I've written for publications including:
- City AM: Will Whitehall get its own Elon Musk? New government must feel the need for speed, and In defence of Treasury brain.
- Civil Service World: The civil service has a people problem
- CapX: Labour has dodged the hard choices on doctors' pay
- Digital Frontier: Scaling the state
I also regularly contribute to Re:State's blog, including:
