Tell Us How
The 'Tell Us How' programme was launched in October 2011.
Tell Us How is based on the idea that the people working hard to deliver public services every day can provide valuable insights into ways of improving productivity and efficiency, and ultimately making services better for everyone.
The Tell Us How programme provides the opportunity for those working in public services to have their ideas heard and considered at the very centre of Government – and helps realise new ways to improve services and ways of working.
Tell Us How: Civil Service Engagement
Tell Us How launched its second challenge – Civil Service Engagement – on 29 March 2012.
The Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, and the Head of the Civil Service, Sir Bob Kerslake, have invited all civil servants to put forward their suggestions which will inform the Civil Service reform plan which will be published later this year.
These include practical ideas on:
- Being innovative and creative – trying new things and implementing new ideas;
- Achieving results – focussing on impact and outcomes, not just process and ticking boxes; and
- Working together – working well with people at different grades, organisations and locations.

Tell Us How: operational efficiency
The Minister for the Cabinet Office, Francis Maude, launched the first challenge of the Tell Us How programme on 25 October 2011. The Tell Us How operational efficiency challenge provides an opportunity for all public sector workers – up and down the country - to have their say and put forward their suggestions around how Government can help deliver public services:
- Quicker: by removing unnecessary tasks to save time and money;
- Cheaper: by finding new ways to reduce costs and eliminate waste; and
- Simpler: by simplifying business processes and minimising duplication.
You can see some of the ideas we received here.
We still welcome any suggestions that public sector workers may have on ways to help remove unnecessary burdens and bureaucracy. So if you’re a public sector worker why not register and Tell Us How:
To note: registration should only take a couple of minutes, but if you experience any registration problems, please direct these to the Tell Us How team at: tellushow@cabinet-office.gsi.gov.uk.
