Fix the government delivery machine
Modernise public-sector delivery through digital systems, incentives, and accountability.
We know what needs to change (see the Challenge investigation). This page maps how that change actually gets made.

The change map
Every concrete change required to move from the status quo to the desired system, with who has authority, the legal mechanism, and current status.
Who can act?
Decision makers, delivery bodies, influencers, beneficiaries, potential opponents, experts, the public and funders — transparent democratic advocacy, not tactics.
Pathways to change
Not every change happens the same way. These are the generic routes this mission's changes can take — highlighted where a change item actually uses them.
Legislative
Change requires new primary or secondary legislation from Parliament.
Drafting → Parliament → Bill → Act → Implementation
Regulatory
Change requires a regulator (e.g. Ofgem) to run a decision or licence-modification process.
Case for change → Regulator consultation → Decision → Licence / rule change → Implementation
Industry code
Change is delivered through an industry code's own governance process (e.g. BSC, CUSC, Grid Code).
Modification proposal → Workgroup → Impact assessment → Panel / authority decision → Implementation
Government policy
Change requires a government department to adopt a policy position and commit to it.
Evidence → Department engagement → Ministerial support → Policy decision
Institutional
Change is a decision an institution (e.g. NESO, a network operator) can make about its own responsibilities or operations.
Proposal → Board / leadership decision → Organisational reform
Procurement
Change is delivered by specifying and procuring a system, service or pilot.
Specification → Funding → Procurement → Deployment
Voluntary market adoption
Change spreads through the market without a mandate — early adopters demonstrate it, then it scales.
Demonstration → Early adopters → Scaling
Technology
Change depends on building and proving working software or infrastructure first.
Research → Prototype → Pilot → Production → Integration
Public / political
Change depends on public understanding and political will, not only technical or regulatory steps.
Evidence → Communication → Coalition → Public support → Political commitment
Funding
Change is blocked on securing the money to do the work, not on a decision or a mechanism.
Case → Funder → Commitment → Deployment
Change agents
What forces could actually make this change happen?
Coalition / buy-in
What legitimate concerns must be resolved to build a coalition capable of delivering change?
Evidence needed for change
Different decision makers require different evidence. Connects back to the Challenge investigation's evidence where it already exists.

Campaign / communication
Public understanding and political support this mission needs, and what each piece of communication is trying to achieve.
Build
Technology is one delivery workstream among many — shown here only where it's required to deliver the agreed solution.
