What will the Spending Review mean for the civil service?

This editorially led webinar provides a timely platform to explore how financial decisions and budget constraints will shape the future of public sector operations – from funding allocations to policy priorities and potential changes to workforce planning.

With government organisations facing mounting fiscal pressures and growing public expectations, this session will explore how departments can improve public service delivery and efficiency. We will also examine the strategic role of technology, data, and AI-driven insights in driving better outcomes across departments, and how to turn the hype around tech into reality.

The discussion will address key challenges, including:

• Productivity and resource efficiency: how government organisations can do more with less while maintaining high service standards.
• Workforce adaptability: how to make sure teams have the right skills and tools to drive efficiency and innovation.
• Smarter financial planning: how predictive analytics and AI can be used to optimise budget decisions and resource allocation.
• Cross-departmental collaboration: best practices for breaking down silos to improve operational efficiency.
