This problem is a UK government area of research interest (ARI) that was originally posted at https://ari.org.uk/ by a UK government organisation to indicate that they are keen to see research related to this area.
How can we ensure the all-round capability of civil servants in a changing world? What will be the best learning and development methods in the future Civil Service? What technologies should government be exploring in order to enable this?
Our ambition is to be A Brilliant Civil Service that helps to keep the United Kingdom prosperous and secure, supporting the government we serve in implementing their commitments and delivering high quality services for the public.The Cabinet Secretary has prioritised improving “the capability of the Civil Service itself and the wider public service”, noting the importance of “our diversity and inclusion agenda, building our capabilities in digital and commercial, and ensuring that our systems join up.” A particular focus of this priority is “trying to ensure that the horizontal mechanisms we have across a government that is inevitably organised vertically are as strong and effective as possible.” To that end, our areas of research interest focus on understanding how we can strengthen and transform the Civil Service as an organisation so that it can tackle current and future challenges and opportunities such as diversity and inclusion, staff engagement, rewarding and retaining talents, and career paths, more effectively.
