EP#108: The policymaking toolkit – part 1
Manage episode 431127629 series 2908599
Dr Trish Mercer, Andrew Tongue PSM and Fiona Barbaro PSM take us back to the essentials of policy-making – from understanding the political environment to creating a convincing narrative.
What do you need to know about the political environment to make good policy? And how do you create a narrative that gets people on board with your proposal?
In this first Work with Purpose episode in our two-part series on policymaking, host David Pembroke gets back to the basics of policy development, advice, and evaluation with Dr Trish Mercer from the Australian National University, experienced former public servant Andrew Tongue PSM, and Fiona Barbaro PSM from the ACT Government.
Together, they discuss how to get to know the government and minister you’re working for, why you need diversity of thought to create meaningful policies, the magic of a well-crafted narrative, and the crucial final tool that every policymaker needs: patience.
Discussed in this episode:
· Understanding a minister and the political environment
· Resilience and patience
· Using political theory as a guide
· Why diversity equals robustness
· Engaging your stakeholders to build trust and confidence
· Creating a convincing narrative
· Crafting concise advice for a minister
· Why making good policy takes time.
Shownotes
· The policy window | APS Academy
· Why policy narrative matters | ANZSOG
