About The Future Governance Forum
Our mission: to shape a comprehensive new operating model for the way the country works.
FGF was founded in November 2023 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:
Mission Critical
How can government translate mission-driven government from ambition into action?
Impactful Devolution
How can government 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 rewire the state to ensure its institutions and people are fit to meet the challenges of the 21st century?
