People and culture
Mastering the dance
Last autumn, I was part of a small team of volunteers from the Department for Education (DfE), HMRC and the Department for International Development (DfID) who spent some time working with the Systems Unit in the Cabinet Office. We wanted to explore what systems leadership meant.
Leaders in systems rather than leaders of systems
We believe that systems thinking should be at the heart of policy design and delivery. We think it can generate policy that is easier to deliver, better value for money and improved outcomes for the public.This requires both strong leadership and strong systems leadership.
10 tips for systems leaders
A system is a group of individuals or an organisation working together or interacting as part of a network. We believe that everyone in the public sector should be a systems leader.
That means being a leader in a system, rather than a leader of a system. We share ten tips to help you embrace your inner systems leader.
Join the movement
Systems leadership is not just for leaders. It’s about us all reimagining the way we think about government, refusing to let organisational boundaries hold us back from delivering results for citizens.
