  • Civil Service needs 'innovators and disrupters', McFadden says - The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster cited Airbnb, WhatsApp and Spotify as examples of start-ups the Civil Service could emulate.

The article discusses comments made by Pat McFadden, Labour's shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, at the Institute for Government's conference. McFadden emphasized the need for the civil service to embrace "innovators and disrupters" to drive change and improve efficiency within government operations. He highlighted the importance of adapting to new technologies and methods to better serve the public, suggesting that the civil service should not only manage but also lead in innovation. McFadden's remarks come in the context of ongoing discussions about the role of the civil service in modern governance, where traditional bureaucratic structures are often seen as slow to adapt to rapid changes in technology and societal needs. He also touched on the need for a cultural shift within the civil service to foster an environment where innovation is not just welcomed but actively pursued.
