All civil servants can take action in their role, team and department.
As civil servants, we have a unique opportunity to deliver real impact for the people of the UK. We can use our expertise and ideas to take ownership of the transformation needed to meet the Prime Minister’s challenge. Together, we have a crucial role to play in making change a reality through how we collaborate, innovate, tackle challenges, embrace technology and live our values.
Here are some ways to get started:
- Take part in One Big Thing 2025: Be part of our annual all Civil Service learning initiative and build the AI and digital skills that will be valuable in any career, with our commitment to make 1 in 10 civil servants digitally expert by 2030.
- Join a Profession: Connect with your profession to grow your skills, progress your career, and build your network. Take a look at some of our profession stories.
- Actively seek opportunities to share your ideas and collaborate: Collaboration is crucial for delivery of the Plan for Change and to address the big challenges that actually change people’s lives: building homes, fixing the NHS, tackling climate change.
- Try new approaches and take measured risks: Build on the skills we gained from the Innovation Masterclass in One Big Thing 2024 and try new approaches to delivering better for the public. You can read about some of the One Big Thing 2024 scalable experiments in this blog article. When things don’t go as planned, share what you’ve learned openly and use that learning to improve.
