Thom Townsend from the Cabinet Office’s Partnerships Team writes about his experience of engaging with open policy making from outside, and now inside of government. The Partnerships Team is dedicated to working with business to open up policy challenges to them and develop ways of working collaboratively.

Policy Lab

Our mission is to radically improve policy making through design, innovation and people-centred approaches.

We bring multidisciplinary expertise to help teams understand the present, imagine the future and design ways to achieve the policy impact they intend.

Our methods are grounded in evidence, participation and experimentation.
They draw on diverse perspectives, tackle complexity and build consensus.
