Pat McFadden vows to make the state "more like a start up" as he deploys reform teams across country
拢100 million fund will see teams use 바카라 사이트渢est and learn culture바카라 사이트� pioneered by digital companies to tackle some of public sector바카라 사이트檚 biggest challenges.
- Tech firm workers encouraged to join government for six to twelve month 바카라 사이트淭ours of Duty바카라 사이트� to work on national missions.
- Frontline public service workers including prison governors and social work heads to take up secondments in central government to deliver the Plan for Change.
- Pat McFadden instructs departments to simplify 바카라 사이트渕ind bogglingly bureaucratic and off-putting바카라 사이트� application processes for civil service jobs.
Pat McFadden will pledge to make the state 바카라 사이트渕ore like a start up바카라 사이트� as he launches a 拢100 million fund to pioneer public service reform and deliver the 바카라 사이트바카라 사이트檚 Plan for Change. The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will warn: 바카라 사이트淚f we keep governing as usual, we are not going to achieve what we want to achieve바카라 사이트�.
The speech about reform of the state comes after the Prime Minister unveiled his plan that will put more money in people바카라 사이트檚 pockets, get the NHS back on its feet and rebuild Britain.
Speaking at University College London바카라 사이트檚 East Campus in Stratford on Monday, Mr McFadden will call for more of Whitehall to adopt the 바카라 사이트渢est and learn culture바카라 사이트� of the best digital companies and first-class government projects.
Test it. Fix the problems. Change the design. Test it again. Tweak it again. And so on, and so on, for as long as you provide the service. Suddenly, the most important question isn바카라 사이트檛, 바카라 사이트楬ow do we get this right the first time?바카라 사이트�. It바카라 사이트檚 바카라 사이트楬ow do we make this better by next Friday?
That바카라 사이트檚 the test and learn mindset, and I바카라 사이트檓 keen to see where we can deploy it in government. Where we can make the state a little bit more like a start-up.
He will launch a new 拢100 million Innovation Fund to deploy new test-and-learn teams around the country who will apply this mindset to the public sector바카라 사이트檚 biggest challenges.聽
바카라 사이트楥rack바카라 사이트� teams of problem solvers will be deployed to improve public services and support delivery of the Plan for Change. Made up of a mix of people working in partnership to drive change - with data and digital skills, policy officials, and frontline workers, they will be given the freedom to experiment and adapt - adopting the 바카라 사이트榯est and learn바카라 사이트� mindset of Silicon Valley.
Instead of writing more complicated policy papers and long strategy documents, the government will set the teams a challenge and empower them to experiment, innovate and try new things.聽
He will compare this plan for reform to what he describes as the 바카라 사이트減ointless distractions바카라 사이트� and 바카라 사이트渉eadline grabbing gimmicks바카라 사이트� of the previous government.聽
He will reveal the teams will begin by focusing on two projects across Manchester, Sheffield, Essex and Liverpool from January 2025.聽
First, they바카라 사이트檒l be tasked with tackling two challenges: family support and temporary accommodation. On temporary accommodation, we want them to begin by looking at how we can reduce costs. And on family support, they바카라 사이트檒l be looking at how family hubs can increase the number of disadvantaged families that they reach.
We바카라 사이트檙e not going to dictate how they do that. The central point of these test-and-learns is that we set them a problem and then leave them to get on with it. They바카라 사이트檒l be empowered to experiment and find new and innovative ways to fix problems.
These 바카라 사이트渢est-and-learns바카라 사이트� represent a new, innovative way of working, in partnership with councils, businesses and local organisations. They will be focused on initiatives that seek to restore our crumbling public services, and they will demonstrate a new way of doing government, as set out in the Plan for Change.
After that first wave, we바카라 사이트檒l expand the test-and-learns to other parts of the country, and start setting them bigger challenges, like reducing the need for temporary accommodation in the first place, or finding new and effective ways into work.
While Mr McFadden will acknowledge 바카라 사이트渆ach of these projects is small바카라 사이트�, he will say 바카라 사이트渢hey could rewire the state one test at a time.바카라 사이트澛�
Mr McFadden will also encourage people from startups and tech companies to enter government for six to twelve month 바카라 사이트淭ours of Duty바카라 사이트�, putting their skills to use tackling big challenges such as criminal justice or healthcare reform in the next phase of the No 10 Innovation Fellows Programme:聽
For the next phase, I can announce that these innovators will spend their Tours of Duty working on our five missions for government.
He will say the country needs more people with direct 바카라 사이트渇ront line바카라 사이트� public service experience to take up secondments in central government and deliver the Plan for Change:聽聽
Prison governors, social work heads, directors of children바카라 사이트檚 services - they are the ones on the ground who can see how things are working, where the obstacles are, and where a policy won바카라 사이트檛 survive contact with reality. They have stared the issues and the people that depend on us in the eye, seen how the system has been broken 바카라 사이트� they have taken the frustrations home with them each week. Now we want them to be part of the solution.
To attract the best people to come and work for government, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will say, it바카라 사이트檚 time to 바카라 사이트渇undamentally overhaul how recruitment is carried out across the civil service.바카라 사이트�
Right now, if you바카라 사이트檙e an outsider, the process can be mind bogglingly bureaucratic and off-putting. Applications can take days to fill in, and if you don바카라 사이트檛 understand the civil service process, good external candidates can find it near impossible to jump through the hoops.
We need to go further and faster. And so I will be asking departments across government to roll out simpler processes in their recruitment, using what we know works.
