Today’s publication is Working Paper 3 - The Lego state.
Componentisation is a core late-modern capitalist technique - think IKEA - multiple products built from shared components. This working paper looks at how we might bring this to the heart of the public sector - and explores the various pattern books that already exist across government - in places where you might not expect to find them, and how to build promotion and encapsulation layers up the data-software-service-organisation-law stack.
January is the month I take my recommendations out on tour - with a series of in-person Chatham House events in Scotland on Thursday 18th and a pop-up at UKGovCamp on Saturday 20th. Come along I would love to speak with you.
