Labour Party Conference 2025

How to Deliver Change that Works: Turning policy into delivery

As Sir Keir Starmer reaffirms Labour’s priorities and sets out his ambitions for the year ahead, join Public Digital and The Future Governance Forum to explore how his government can translate those ambitions into action – and why the state itself must adapt to make it happen.

We will explore what it really takes to deliver radical policy change in an age of mass technological and social disruption. An expert panel of political leaders, former senior civil servants, and digital transformation specialists will share lessons from working on some of the biggest public policy challenges facing the government and the country.

Panelists: 

• Josh Simons MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet Office, and Member of Parliament for Makerfield
• Helen MacNamara, Chair, The Future Governance Forum and former Deputy Cabinet Secretary 
• Councillor Tom Hunt, Leader, Sheffield City Council 
• Lara Sampson, Partner, Public Digital

Chair: Ben Terrett CBE, CEO and Founder, Public Digital
