strategic thinking, national strategy
Experts questioned about Strategic Thinking in Government
9 December 2011
In the Public Administration Select Committee’s (PASC) first evidence session on Strategic Thinking in Government, the Committee will hear from key strategic advisers to the previous administration. This inquiry builds on the findings of PASC’s First Report of Session 2010-12, “Who does UK National Strategy?” This takes place on Tuesday 13 December 2011 in Committee Room 16.
Issues that may arise include:
- How the “national interest” can be defined;
- how the Government develops strategy which cuts across departmental ‘silos’; and
- how departments can be engaged to work towards shared strategic aims.
