🔓 We're taking a break.

This is the last Policy Unstuck you’ll receive before September–we’re taking August off.

Two things before we go:

1. Online training

Three of our online courses are kicking off at the start of September. If you’ve been considering one… the first 10 Policy Unstuck subscribers to sign up get a 25% discount (use code: SUMMER25). The choices:

1. Learn from Nick Scott, who’s trained teams at the World Resources Institute, World Health Organisation, and the European Policy Centre, on how AI is changing policy communications, and how you should be using it (or not). {Course info here, starts Sept 10th}
   

2. Learn from Andy Ormerod-Cloke, who took the National Security and Investment Act 2021 through Parliament, on how to successfully engage ministers and their teams. {Course info here, starts Sept 10th}

3. Learn from Alex Wilson, the copywriter who took Tango to Twitter (yes, the fizzy drink), on how to write so people actually want to read your research. {Course info here, starts Sept 17th}

2. Future guests

We’ve got some great guests lined up in September, from political scientists like Francis Fukuyama (of ‘end of history’ fame), to nonprofit leaders like Sarah Davidson, CEO of Carnegie UK Trust, and, hopefully, a few former ministers.

Who else should we be thinking of? Who will challenge some norms and get us all thinking? Hit reply and let me know. 

Enjoy your summer, 

Tom
