Collaborative Policymaking

cover
The science of working together in public administration
This report explores how public administrations can foster more effective collaboration by intentionally shaping the behaviours, routines, and mindsets of public servants. Drawing on cutting-edge insights from cognitive, behavioural, and organisational sciences, it presents a rigorous review of the key drivers of collaboration and how to leverage them. It serves as an evidence-informed compass to help public administrations harness their collaborative potential to effectively address today’s complex policy challenges. The main findings are distilled into twelve actionable principles that outline a clear vision for working together more effectively.
