A civil service fit for the future
The Institute for Government was delighted to welcome John Manzoni, Chief Executive of the Civil Service and Permanent Secretary to deliver a keynote speech on progress in transforming the civil service. Five years ago, the civil service committed to professionalising and developing specialist skills. This speech offered an opportunity to reflect on how far the agenda has moved, and the crucial role it plays in preparing for Brexit, the digital age, and meeting the public’s expectations. The event was chaired by Bronwen Maddox, Director of the Institute for Government.
