[VIDEO] 2018: A breakthrough year for public impact

2018 was a year of tough challenges for governments everywhere.

We've been taking our practical help and insights around the world to help you address some of these challenges and unlock the positive power of government.

We asked ourselves the big questions and came up with practical answers to help you achieve public impact.

 

Our research

Can government be more human? In 2018, we dug deep to understand what governments can do to build better relationships with communities. One of the toughest questions for government today relates to their legitimacy - how to think about it, how to solve it, how to understand it and how to strengthen it. To find answers to these questions, we launched our report and worldwide project #FindingLegitimacy. Our conversations this year have focussed on giving people, especially the often voiceless young, the space to speak and be heard.

There is a lot of hype around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it can change the world. We launched our AI report, 'How to make AI work in government and for people' at The Tallinn Digital Summit to share our thinking on AI and provide a realistic approach and action plan for the public sector to fulfil AI's potential as a tool for government and communities.

The traditional service delivery model is increasingly being challenged by an enablement mindset. As part of our Future of Government project, we have been exploring this shift towards enablement and its implications for how the public sector can achieve the outcomes that matter to communities through public services.
