Hello,
Thanks for the collection of articles they are always good for working the grey matter and making you think, or rethink, about issues facing the civil service and government.
I'm currently a strategist within the civil service and was wondering if any thought had been given to constructing "Open Strategies" (acknowledging that sometimes the difference between policy and strategy can be paper thin)?
