Analysing major policy issues and designing strategic solutions
The Strategy Unit
The Strategy Unit has three main roles:
-
to provide strategy and policy advice to the Prime Minister/No 10
-
to support government departments in developing effective strategies and
policies – including helping them to build their strategic capability
-
to identify and effectively disseminate emerging issues and policy
challenges
The Strategy Unit works closely, and often jointly, with other government
departments and external stakeholders on a broad range of domestic policy
issues. The Unit puts strong emphasis on analytical rigour and an evidence
based approach to developing strategy, looking at issues from first
principles. While some of its work is one-off, other work on issues such as
education, health and home affairs tends to be ongoing.
