Policy Lab?
Who are we?
We are a creative space based at the
Cabinet Office where policy teams
across Government can trial and test
new ways of working.
Through live projects we support
policy teams work with a range of
experts to build the skills and
knowledge they need to develop
policy in a more open, data-driven,
digital and user-centred way.
Who are we?
We were set up in 2014 as part of the
Civil Service Reform plan. Since then,
we have worked with over 5,000 civil
servants on over 20 major policies.
Our multi-award winning projects,
bespoke training and online materials
have increased the awareness of
cutting edge policy tools and
techniques across government.
Follow us @PolicyLabUK

Success
As a result of collaboration and new insights
our policy projects deliver better outcomes at
lower cost.
Our projects are being scaled and achieving
savings. The Police Digitisation project is
being rolled out across England & Wales,
saving £3.7m.
We have also reached many more through the
open policy-making toolkit, Policy Lab blog and
slideshare which altogether have had over
50,000 views.
Why
Government
Labs?
The 3 big Ds
Design
Digital
Data
Why design?
Design can:
• Save money. Understanding user
needs focuses our efforts on what
people need (not what they don’t);
prototyping spots errors early.
• Generate transformative ideas.
Reframing questions allow new ideas,
and creative techniques generate fresh
thinking.
• Create people-centred services.
User-centred design spends time with
real people understanding their needs
and designing services with them.
• Tackle complex problems. Design
works best on problems which require
action from multiple different people.
Why data?
Data science uses powerful computer
techniques to analyse traditional data sets
(like administration data or surveys) as
well as new ones (such as social media
data or digital data).
Algorithms work far quicker than humans,
meaning we can analyse huge amounts of
data quickly and find unexpected patterns
and insights
Why digital?
Digital technologies can help us reach out
to far more people to understand their
views and crowdsource ideas.
It can also provide much more efficient,
accessible and tailored services online.
Finally, providing digital services can
create digital data, which allows us to
understand how people are using them so
we can continue to improve them.
Purposeful Innovation
We help policy-makers to innovate. Our
goal is to deliver purposeful innovation.
Through a practical approach we help
teams identify new solutions that deliver
four key qualities (RISE):
• Responsive to the needs of citizen’s and
government.
• Inclusive and open in our approach and
outcomes.
• Systemic in our ambition, embracing
complexity and opportunities for collaboration.
• Effective in delivering significant measurable
impact and learning for the future.
We sit on the edge
We experiment with
new approaches here.
If they prove to be
valuable we bring them
into Government and
support their more
widespread use in
departments.

Hopes & fears cards
We use images at the
beginning of a project to get
people using a different side of
their brain, and to pick ones
that visually represent a hope
they have for the project or a
fear. It’s a good way to
understand the motivations of
different people in the room
right from the start.
Challenge setting
Challenge setting is our way of
finding the right question to
answer. It takes many
iterations!! By asking why five
times, we can get to the route
causes of the issue. And by
asking ‘how can we?’ (as
opposed to ‘how can I?’ we
open up possibilities to a wider
set of ideas which require
more than one department.
Personas
Personas are real or
hypothetical descriptions of
people who might be
experiencing the policy or
service. They help us to
empathise with people, think
about their needs and design
policy that fits them. We use
evidence to develop them and
do a segmentation to avoid
them becoming stereotypes.

them becoming stereotypes.
Journey mapping
‘User Journeys’ are a step by
step map showing how people
interact with services.
They can identify the highs and
lows and therefore what
aspects new ideas can build on
or improve.
Ethnography
‘Design ethnography’ is the
study of people and behaviours
from their point of view.
Building insight and ideas by
shadowing users or spending
time with them and discussing
their lived experience in real
life contexts. Films and photos
can be extremely powerful in
creating empathy and
generating ideas.
Data science
Through data science we can
identify new knowledge,
patterns and insights gained
from large volumes of data. We
can use new forms of real-time,
digital data. Data visualisations
like this Sankey diagram
allows non-analysts to spot
patterns and trends. And
powerful clustering techniques
can segment groups far faster
than any human can.
Evidence safari
An evidence safari is a
technique we use to get groups
of people to explore large
amounts of data quickly, spot
gaps and build insight from
which to generate ideas. Here,
we are using evidence in the
form of charts and graphs,
but also humanised into
persona stories that people can
relate to.
Idea sketch sheets
We use creative methods to
help people come up with new
ideas. Sketching can help share
germs of ideas during co-
design sessions with
stakeholders.
Open ideas days
Policy Jams and open ideas
days help engage wider
stakeholders with policy areas
and co-develop ideas. They
often start by exploring
evidence or asking
stakeholders to share their
experiences, and then generate
ideas as a result.
Speculative design
Speculative design imagines
possible (rather than probably
or predictable) futures and
then creates an object or image
from them. This tangible
‘thing’ allows to engage the
public in a debate about
whether we not we want that
type of future, and what we
would need to do to get there
(or avoid it). Research before
situations exist.
Service blueprints
‘Service blueprints’ and ‘Value
maps’ can help show the
relationship between different
parts of the system now and in
the future. We have adapted
these for Government so they
map out how a user
experiences a policy, as well as
the specifically Government
functions (legislation,
regulation, funding) make this
happen.

Prototyping
An early model or mock-up
built to test a concept, so it can
be replicated or learned from.
Prototypes help quickly build
a service or policy idea to test
assumptions. These can be
made out of paper (like this
online crime reporting tool) or
tried out in real situations.

Commissioning Lab
We are always open to enquiries for new
projects. We offer a quick overview of
Policy Lab and an opportunity to work up a
project idea in an introductory workshop for
policy teams who may be interested in
running a lab project.

Introduction to the UK Policy Lab

  • 2. Who are we? Why Government Labs? What we do Working with us Our approach Our methods Finding out more
  • 4. Who are we? We are a creative space based at the Cabinet Office where policy teams across Government can trial and test new ways of working. Through live projects we support policy teams work with a range of experts to build the skills and knowledge they need to develop policy in a more open, data-driven, digital and user-centred way.
  • 5. Who are we? We were set up in 2014 as part of the Civil Service Reform plan. Since then, we have worked with over 5,000 civil servants on over 20 major policies. Our multi-award winning projects, bespoke training and online materials have increased the awareness of cutting edge policy tools and techniques across government. Follow us @PolicyLabUK
  • 6. Who are we? We are a small team of policy-makers, departmental secondees and subject experts including: Dr Andrea Siodmok, Beatrice Andrews, Kyna Gourley, Pauline Carnet, Owen Wilkie, Rupert Cryer, Vasant Chari, Naeema Malik, Sanjan Sabherwal and Jasmine Robinson. We work closely with the Future Policy Network (pictured) including GDS, Behavioural Insights Team, GO Science and ONS. Email us policylab@cabinetoffice.gov.uk
  • 7. Who are we? Data, design & data industry experts Departments Secondees and alumni Projects: Home Office & Surrey and Sussex Police; MoJ; HMRC & DWP; DH & DWP; DfE; DFID; DCLG; BEIS and DfT.

Andy Kepster, Cat Drew, Teresa Leitao, Helen Smith, Valentina Lopez, Iban Benzal, Holly McConnell, Professor Lucy Kimbell and Laurence Grinyer.
  • 8. Some of our projects How can we support people to manage their health conditions & stay in work? How can we support victims of crime in a digital world? How can we meet the challenges of an ageing society? How can we prevent and help people exit homelessness? How can we improve the experience of tenants and landlords? How can we create a vision for the future of rail with passengers at its heart? How can we encourage businesses to provide better childcare solutions? How can we achieve £1trillion exports by 2020? How can we increase the take- up of free childcare for 2 year olds? How can we encourage young people to value their National Insurance Nos? How can we persuade people to use mediation services when they separate? How can we prevent absenteeism in schools?

  • 10. Success As a result of collaboration and new insights our policy projects deliver better outcomes at lower cost. Our projects are being scaled and achieving savings. The Police Digitisation project is being rolled out across England & Wales, saving £3.7m. We have also reached many more through the open policy-making toolkit, Policy Lab blog and slideshare which altogether have had over 50,000 views.
  • 12. The 3 big Ds Design Digital Data
  • 13. Why design? Design can: • Save money. Understanding user needs focuses our efforts on what people need (not what they don’t); prototyping spots errors early. • Generate transformative ideas. Reframing questions allow new ideas, and creative techniques generate fresh thinking. • Create people-centred services. User-centred design spends time with real people understanding their needs and designing services with them. • Tackle complex problems. Design works best on problems which require action from multiple different people.
  • 14. Why data? Data science uses powerful computer techniques to analyse traditional data sets (like administration data or surveys) as well as new ones (such as social media data or digital data). Algorithms work far quicker than humans, meaning we can analyse huge amounts of data quickly and find unexpected patterns and insights
  • 15. Why digital? Digital technologies can help us reach out to far more people to understand their views and crowdsource ideas. It can also provide much more efficient, accessible and tailored services online. Finally, providing digital services can create digital data, which allows us to understand how people are using them so we can continue to improve them.
  • 16. Purposeful Innovation We help policy-makers to innovate. Our goal is to deliver purposeful innovation. Through a practical approach we help teams identify new solutions that deliver four key qualities (RISE): • Responsive to the needs of citizen’s and government. • Inclusive and open in our approach and outcomes. • Systemic in our ambition, embracing complexity and opportunities for collaboration. • Effective in delivering significant measurable impact and learning for the future.
  • 17. We sit on the edge We experiment with new approaches here. If they prove to be valuable we bring them into Government and support their more widespread use in departments.
  • 18. We open up policy-making Transparency of information Input of knowledge & experience PublicClosed Government Expertise Shared Expertise Engagement in process ParticipateInform Accountability for outcomes Government responsibility Shared responsibility
  • 19. We bring people together Creating new forms of governance and system stewardship to tackle complex intractable challenges

  • 21. How can we make it happen? What happened? Why did it happen? What will happen? We are evidence based Prescriptive Analytics Descriptive Analytics Diagnostic Analytics Predictive Analytics Policy analytics ladder Hindsight The ability to understand something only after it has happened or developed. Insight The capacity to acquire an accurate and deep understanding of something. Foresight The ability to predict what will be needed or what might happen in the future. Outsight The capacity to create an overview of something beyond the bounds of the present combining various external data. What is happening? Investigative Analytics Oversight The means to assess something through indicators, checks and balances and standard setting data. Increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity Adapted from Gartner
  • 22.

  • 36. Hopes & fears cards We use images at the beginning of a project to get people using a different side of their brain, and to pick ones that visually represent a hope they have for the project or a fear. It’s a good way to understand the motivations of different people in the room right from the start.
  • 37. Challenge setting Challenge setting is our way of finding the right question to answer. It takes many iterations!! By asking why five times, we can get to the route causes of the issue. And by asking ‘how can we?’ (as opposed to ‘how can I?’ we open up possibilities to a wider set of ideas which require more than one department.
  • 38. Personas Personas are real or hypothetical descriptions of people who might be experiencing the policy or service. They help us to empathise with people, think about their needs and design policy that fits them. We use evidence to develop them and do a segmentation to avoid them becoming stereotypes.

  • 40. Journey mapping ‘User Journeys’ are a step by step map showing how people interact with services. They can identify the highs and lows and therefore what aspects new ideas can build on or improve.
  • 41. Ethnography ‘Design ethnography’ is the study of people and behaviours from their point of view. Building insight and ideas by shadowing users or spending time with them and discussing their lived experience in real life contexts. Films and photos can be extremely powerful in creating empathy and generating ideas.
  • 42. Data science Through data science we can identify new knowledge, patterns and insights gained from large volumes of data. We can use new forms of real-time, digital data. Data visualisations like this Sankey diagram allows non-analysts to spot patterns and trends. And powerful clustering techniques can segment groups far faster than any human can.
  • 43. Evidence safari An evidence safari is a technique we use to get groups of people to explore large amounts of data quickly, spot gaps and build insight from which to generate ideas. Here, we are using evidence in the form of charts and graphs, but also humanised into persona stories that people can relate to.
  • 44. Idea sketch sheets We use creative methods to help people come up with new ideas. Sketching can help share germs of ideas during co- design sessions with stakeholders.
  • 45. Open ideas days Policy Jams and open ideas days help engage wider stakeholders with policy areas and co-develop ideas. They often start by exploring evidence or asking stakeholders to share their experiences, and then generate ideas as a result.
  • 46. Speculative design Speculative design imagines possible (rather than probably or predictable) futures and then creates an object or image from them. This tangible ‘thing’ allows to engage the public in a debate about whether we not we want that type of future, and what we would need to do to get there (or avoid it). Research before situations exist.
  • 47. Service blueprints ‘Service blueprints’ and ‘Value maps’ can help show the relationship between different parts of the system now and in the future. We have adapted these for Government so they map out how a user experiences a policy, as well as the specifically Government functions (legislation, regulation, funding) make this happen.

  • 49. Prototyping An early model or mock-up built to test a concept, so it can be replicated or learned from. Prototypes help quickly build a service or policy idea to test assumptions. These can be made out of paper (like this online crime reporting tool) or tried out in real situations.
  • 51. Commissioning Lab We are always open to enquiries for new projects. We offer a quick overview of Policy Lab and an opportunity to work up a project idea in an introductory workshop for policy teams who may be interested in running a lab project. For more information contact: policylab@cabinetoffice.gov.uk Or read our guide to commissioning Policy Lab.
