About The Future Governance Forum
Our mission: to reform the state to renew the nation.
FGF was set up to advance new approaches to progressive policymaking and delivery, with a focus spanning national, devolved, regional, and local government.
We are more than a traditional think tank. We concentrate on the how as much as the what of policy design and implementation. Through our research and our convening power – the forum at the heart of our project – we not only develop new ideas, but test and iterate them in practice.
Our approach is rooted in collaboration. We work closely with partners across our shared ecosystem and build new networks bringing together practitioners and diverse voices from across sectors, borders and tiers of government, facilitating insight-sharing and driving forward the ideas we advocate.
Drawing on our team’s deep expertise and wide-ranging experience, we develop practical, innovative solutions that help those in power turn policy into practice.
Our current programmes of work:
In Power
How can we reimagine government to make it fit for the multi-dimensional challenges of the mid-21st Century?
Mission Critical
How can we translate mission-driven government from ambition into action?
Impactful Devolution
How can we meaningfully and permanently devolve power to nations and regions in one of the most centralised countries in the world?
Rebuilding the Nation
How can we utilise innovative models of public and private investment to spur growth and rebuild our crumbling infrastructure?
Institutional Renewal
How can we reform existing state institutions, and establish new ones, so they are fit for purpose and built to last?
