Adrian Brown, Strategic Advisor and the Former Executive Director for the Centre for Public Impact joins the show to discuss why long-term, strategic thinking is essential for governments, especially in the face of dynamic challenges and technological disruptions. We also define the key barriers that governments face when trying to adopt this approach and how they overcome these challenges. Plus in light of the upcoming US election, we talk about how governments can ensure that long-term policies are not derailed by short-term political cycles and changes in leadership.
