Speaking with +500 policy folk today at the Policy Festival helped me understand that I think about policy innovation like a collage artist: overlaying & juxtaposing disciplines, methods & approaches to achieve something more beautiful & ultimately more long-lasting.

It's been fantastic to work with artists Dryden Goodwin, @CHRIS_SAMUEL_ & @Semiconducting to bring their approaches into UK policymaking.
Thanks to @ahrcpress, @PatrycjaKasz, @beatricepem, @paula_orrell, @_tomwells, @GBellJones, @SimonFParker & others for guiding the way!

What happens when artists become embedded in government departments? We start to learn about the role art can play in policymaking. Inspirational work

Absolutely love how @CHRIS_SAMUEL_ has taken a key government touch point and made it his own. Inspiring.
3/5 - @CHRIS_SAMUEL_ spent time with the Community Ownership Fund team in @luhc. Chris used his lived experiences relating to disability & identity to write his own Green Paper for the policy area - doing so critiquing the very distinction between artists & policymakers…

A portable 'playable system' to support policymakers tackle system challenges in their policy spaces - fantastic work from @AlexRosie, @VanessaLeft & others
Our project with @luhc on Multiple Disadvantage showed the importance of #systemsthinking in policy. We are now developing a 'playable system' with a renowned game designer to help policymakers tackle systemic challenges in policy. Testing, learning & sharing to follow. #PSILabs

On Monday @hwayoung and I asked teams of policymakers to design a "serious" game (we prefer "playable system") about preventive healthcare.
