What will you remember about 2017? There's little doubt that much has changed over the course of the last 12 months.
This time last year, Emmanuel Macron was a humble political candidate with no established party apparatus behind him, President-Elect Trump was only thinking about reshaping America and its place in the world, and ISIS had yet to be defeated in Iraq and Syria. Some leaders will look back fondly on 2017 - China's President Xi Jinping ends the year in an even more powerful position - whereas others, such as Germany's Chancellor Merkel and the UK's Prime Minister May, have been diminished by electoral setbacks.
One thing has stayed the same, however, and that's the need for effective, high performing government - and that's where the Centre for Public Impact can help.
This year our work has focused on three themes:
We have developed a range of services and products to governments and as a result, the Fundamentals are now being used by policymakers around the world to understand the impact of past or future policies. Our Observatory, based on the Fundamentals, is now the largest repository of public impact case studies in the world with more than 300 cases.
With governments finding it harder to connect with people and build trusting relationships, our Finding Legitimacy project - which has included events around the world and a discussion paper - has catalysed an important global conversation on the role of legitimacy and how to strengthen it. Our AI project has seen us work alongside govtech leaders, as well as publish a working paper to help government officials navigate this unfamiliar terrain.
And in 2017 we have published more than 250 stories of public impact from around the world - but what were the most read? Presenting our top-ten most read articles this year:
