The Questions We Answer
The Questions
The Answer
The expectations on the UK’s regulators and public bodies are clear: increase speed, performance, predictability and impact while reducing the regulatory burden on their sectors and supporting growth and innovation.
​
For executives, this creates questions like:
​
-
Why do certain cases take so long and is it necessary?
-
Which decisions are being escalated too many times, and which are not being seen?
-
Am I looking at the right performance metrics?
-
Can this decision be taken with so much uncertainty?
-
How do we use AI and still remain accountable?
-
How do we engage with such a complex sector?
Â
The answer is often given as ‘transformation’ - new operating models, new workflows, new projects and smarter goals. How do make sure your transformation makes things better instead of simply different?
Over twenty years in regulation and public bodies, I've been part of the discussion on difficult challenges and changes.
​
I found that one simple principle massively impacted levels of success; transformative change for regulators and public bodies requires consistency of purpose, remit and values,. It means retaining robust, transparent, ethical dIecisions and judgements.Â
​
With this simple principle as the foundation, a transformation programme can be genuinely transformative.
