Bush administrations, the guests discuss the real drivers of federal spending and whether efforts like the Department of Government Efficiency could make a difference.

In this episode of Leading Question, recorded with a live online audience, a panel of Global Government Forum experts delve into the findings of its research into the key characteristics needed for a modern public service. The Making Government Work report identifies five key pillars of a modern civil service, which are: ·       Strong leadership with mutual respect and alignment between ministers and senior officials ·       Building a highly skilled, inclusive and thriving public sector workforce. ·       Fostering an agile, digital, and risk-taking culture focused on delivery. ·       Implementing working structures that transcend organisational silos. ·       Cultivating a service trusted by its users and the public. The report is the culmination of interviews with 12 senior civil service leaders from around the world, and comes in response to requests from leaders at Global Government Forum's annual Global Government Summit for a comprehensive “blueprint” for government that could consolidate and expand key knowledge shared over the past decade. In the conversation, report authors Richard Johnstone, Siobhan Benita and Lord Gus O'Donnell discuss the elements of each of these pillars, setting out the findings from this unique research. Listen now for an unprecedented primer on the key issues that governments around the world are facing. For civil servants looking to understand how to cultivate a service trusted by individual users and the public at large, this discussion is essential listening. Read our Making Government Work report here. Thank you to the leaders who took part in this study: ·       Glyn Davis, secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Australia ·       Donna Cadogan, head, public service, Barbados ·       John Hannaford, clerk of the Privy Council and secretary to the Cabinet, Canada ·       Taimar Peterkop, state secretary, Estonia ·       Henrik Haapajärvi, former state secretary to the prime minister, Finland ·       Claire Landais, secretary general of the government, France ·       Haryomo Dwi Putranto, acting chair, Indonesian National Civil Service Agency, Indonesia ·       John Callinan, secretary general of Department of Taoiseach and Government, Ireland ·       Folasade Yemi-Esan, head of the civil service of the Federation, Nigeria (retired 14 August) ·       Leo Yip, head of civil service and permanent secretary (Prime Minister's Office), Singapore ·       Simon Case, cabinet secretary and head of the civil service, United Kingdom ·       Dustin Brown, deputy assistant director for Management, Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President, United States (at time of interview).

Hi everyone! Welcome to the final episode of this season of The Firm Analyst. Today we discussed: the importance of being curious as well as reflective. I shared a recent personal story about how I was able to connect simple markings on an electricity meter to a learning point about a law firm's practice; using books to learn about the history and strategy of certain law firms. In particular, we made mention of books such as Too Big to Fail, Barbarians at the Gate and more; and we wrapped up the podcast by learning about how public information disclosed by the government can reveal which law firms are working with them on a range of matters. I hope you enjoy the episode! We will be taking our usual season break next week, so hope to see you the week after. Link to access the podcast:https://linktr.ee/thefirmanalyst

Tucker Carlson, John Stossel. Biden Can't Make Government Work, No One Can, Anti-Christian Documentary, 45% Tax on Capital Gains. John Stossel- Why Biden's Just Wrong: NO ONE "Knows How to Make Government Work.” Peter St Onge, Ph.D. -When professional boxers understand the economy better than Harvard economists Biden wants 45% tax on capital gains Tucker Carlson Reacts to New Anti-Christian Documentary   Why Biden's Just Wrong: NO ONE "Knows How to Make Government Work.” During his last campaign, Biden claimed he “knows how to make government work.” But he doesn't! No one doesBiden can't keep track of what he spends, inflation is worse, and our national debt is the highest it's ever been. Economist Ed Stringham says, “It's a hubris that the government knows best.” While government fails to work, the private sector gets things done.

Last week UFC fighter Renato Moicano gave a hard-core victory speech defending liberty and begging people read Ludwig von Mises' "Six Lessons" to save America. So what are the Six Lessons, and how can they save us?   Biden wants 45% tax on capital gains -- nearly half. That would be the highest in 111 years. And it would gut investment. Turns out all those little $60 billions for Ukraine -- or migrants -- weren't actually free. Why all the taxes? Because Biden also wants to ramp up spending to $7.3 trillion per year. That would be 70% above Trump's final pre-Covid year. For all the RINO complaints about Trump's spending, he managed a couple hundred billion over Obama. Biden's pushing 3 trillion.

The government's Levelling Up the United Kingdom white paper contained ambitious proposals to deliver a devolution deal to every area of England that wants one by 2030, but the proliferation of regional authorities and directly elected mayors across England alongside different arrangements in the devolved nations can make co-operation and co-ordination difficult. This event considered what structures and ways of working could help support cross-government action on levelling up. How well have mayoral combined authorities (MCAs) worked with central government? Do mayoral combined authorities need a single point of contact in Whitehall or is it better to work directly with different departments? Have MCAs successfully encouraged cross-council working on levelling up? How can the UK government work more effectively with the devolved nations? To explore these questions, the IfG brought together an expert panel including: Councillor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council Professor Francesca Gains, Professor of Public Policy at The University of Manchester Dr Jack Newman, Research Associate at The Productivity Institute and the Department of Politics at The University of Manchester Joe Rossiter, Policy and External Affairs Manager at the Institute of Welsh Affairs The event was chaired by Thomas Pope, Deputy Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.

Innovation gets harder the older, larger, and more complex an organization becomes. Government agencies that have been around and expanding for hundreds of years are nearly impossible to evolve. And it doesn't help that modernizing government services seldom grabs big headlines, leading politicians to focus on the biggest problems — even though it could take years before the solutions are felt by the average American..

The centre of government does not function as well as it needs to. Successive prime ministers have complained of ‘rubber levers' and reflected that the nature of the government machine can make it difficult to deliver their priorities. The last three premierships have not been helped, and sometimes have been hindered, by the failings of No.10, the Cabinet Office and Treasury. The civil service is not working as well as it should and Brexit and Covid in particular exposed deep problems with the whole of the government machine. But what exactly are these problems? Why have they not been solved? And what could be done to radically improve how the centre works? To launch a major new programme of work, we brought together an expert panel to discuss the current state of the centre and suggest how it could be reformed and improved. Our panellists were: Lord Robin Butler, Cabinet Secretary 1988-98 Baroness Simone Finn, Downing Street deputy chief of staff 2021–22 Peter Hill, former principal private secretary to the prime minister (2017-19) and CEO of COP 26 The event was chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director of the Institute for Government and Sir Anthony Seldon, author, political commentator and historian.

Thursday, July 28th, 2022 Amanda Renteria the CEO of Code for America, an organization of people-centered problem solvers working to improve government in a meaningful way. We discuss making government work better for everyday people by design. Good governance starts with getting the basics right, such as delivering clean water to all communities. Making government simple and accessible is also key. Currently it's so complicated that many people have lost trust in the government's ability to respond to crises. Modernizing systems so that the government reaches folks where they are is an incredibly powerful tool to reimagining trust and rebuilding a government for, and by, us all.
