The Policy Project collaborated with the Government Economics Network (GEN) committee to facilitate workshops following the 2016 GEN conference on ‘People and Policy – how to make better and smarter policies through behavioural insights, design thinking and better use of data’.

This document records:

• Reflections from Day 1 of the GEN conference from the keynote speakers.
• MoJ’s presentation of ‘an investment approach to justice’
• Insights on ‘value add’ and ‘what to watch out for’ from each of the methods and approaches – data, behavioural insights, design
• Next steps to ‘bringing it all together’: actions for building a more sophisticated policy toolkit and understanding when, how and in what combinations to apply a variety of tools and methods to policy challenges.
