important today?

“It’s the economy, stupid”
• Intangibles – tacit knowledge and information asymmetries
• Globalization – extended supply chains, migration and heterogeneity of workforce
• The structural reform trap – hard to achieve with low growth, low growth makes it vital; need a credible promise of ‘jam tomorrow’
• The paradox of trust – both low and high
Governance
• Organizational implications of ICT-driven
structural change
• From command-and-control to networks
• Productivity gains only where greater
access to information can be used
• ‘Information’ vs ‘communication’
• Private sector restructuring vs public
sector sclerosis
Other challenges
• Limits to knowledge – uncertainty
• Limits to understanding - explaining
complexity and long-term trade-offs
• Limits to action – ‘levers’ don’t work in a
non-linear world
• Limits to consent – escaping the Catch 22
of low trust in government
