Reimagining Government

Governments everywhere are under mounting pressure to deliver the results people expect, while remaining trusted and relevant. Yet today’s systems and structures often struggle to respond to the complexity of the world we live in. Wicked challenges such as the climate crisis, deepening inequality, and the disruptive power of new technologies are forcing us to rethink how government works.

From the Centre for Public Impact, this podcast explores radical new approaches to tackling the most urgent issues of our time. Through conversations with public servants, policymakers, and changemakers around the world, we shine a light on how governments can reimagine their role in a rapidly changing world.
