Description The strategies adopted by governments have dramatic effects on people’s lives. The best ones can transform economic laggards into trailblazers, eliminate diseases, or sharply cut crime.  Strategic failures result in highly visible disasters, like the shrinking of the Russian economy in the 1990s, or the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005.

Geoff Mulgan, director of the Young Foundation, and author of a new book, The Art of Public Strategy, comes to the RSA to look at how strategies take shape, the common mistakes made and suggest tools that governments and public organisations can use to meet their goals.

Respondent: Francis Maude MP is the shadow minister for the Cabinet Office
