civil service had recently \u2018been victim to the \u201cblob\u201d narrative\u2019<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Civil servants around the world are increasingly suffering strained relationships with ministers as conflicts over providing quick-fix solutions and serving long-term national interests rise, research has found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The leaders of the civil service, or its equivalent government system, in the UK, US, France, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Ireland, Estonia, Finland, Nigeria, Indonesia and Barbados were interviewed for a report by the Global Government Forum, published on Wednesday i.e 28<sup>th<\/sup> Aug 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The study, led by former British cabinet secretary Lord Gus O\u2019Donnell, who has served three prime ministers, identified several pressing areas afflicting civil servants globally. O\u2019Donnell said he was <strong>\u201cincreasingly concerned that against the backdrop of rising populism and increasingly divisive politics, we are seeing weak leadership on vital issues of long-term importance\u201d<\/strong>, such as climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The research noted growing tensions between officials and ministers, making it harder to<strong> \u201cspeak truth to power\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The senior officials also reported that colleagues felt increasingly torn between providing their political masters with short-term solutions and upholding their <strong>\u201cstewardship\u201d<\/strong> function as public servants working for their national long-term interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Global pressures, including post-Covid 19 economic recovery efforts, military conflicts, ageing populations and the <strong>\u201cgreen transition\u201d<\/strong> to cleaner energy systems, were also identified as challenges for civil services internationally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">PA, Cabinet secretaries and civil service chiefs reported struggles to recruit relevant talent to harness the opportunities of, and protect against the risks posed by, new technologies, particularly generative artificial intelligence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Policymakers also faced structural barriers arising from the siloed way in which many governments are organised, as well as turmoil sparked by populism, extremism and misinformation, the study found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The Global Government Forum, which publishes research and hosts events for officials internationally, identified five pillars central to creating a<strong> \u201cmodern, effective\u201d<\/strong> civil service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">These included ensuring mutual respect and alignment between ministers and senior officials, achieved by better training and <strong>\u201csafeguarding\u201d<\/strong> the provision of impartial advice by civil servants, plus cultivating leaders who publicly defend officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Building a highly skilled public sector workforce \u2014 by overhauling recruitment and reducing reliance on external consultants \u2014 and fostering an <strong>\u201cagile, digital and risk-taking culture focused on delivery\u201d<\/strong> were identified as other core recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The final pillars were the implementation of working structures that transcend organisational silos, enhanced by a central authority that can oversee collaborative initiatives, and fostering a service trusted by its users and the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">O\u2019Donnell highlighted specific challenges that have beset officials in some countries, warning that the British civil service had recently \u201cbeen victim to the<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <strong>\u2018blob\u2019 narrative\u201d<\/strong> <\/span>that portrays senior officials as a \u201cconsensus-seeking, self-perpetuating elite within the public sector\u201d. The term became popular after being used by Michael Gove when he was Conservative education secretary. Sir Simon Case, UK cabinet secretary, has criticised the label as<strong> \u201cdehumanising\u201d and \u201cinsulting\u201d.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">O\u2019Donnell also drew attention to the way in which a series of leading UK officials had been <strong>\u201cpublicly named and blamed for policy failures by the ministers they serve\u201d<\/strong> in the past few years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">In 2022, the top civil servant at the Treasury was sacked in a bid to purge economic <strong>\u201corthodoxy\u201d<\/strong> from government thinking, while in 2020 the chief civil servant at the Department for Education was dismissed in the wake of a row over school exam results in England. O\u2019Donnell noted that in the US, swaths of impartial federal employees could be fired and replaced by political appointees under proposals put forward by Donald Trump, if the Republican presidential candidate wins the US election in November.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_23490\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23490\" style=\"width: 809px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-23490\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ffgff-150x100.jpg\" alt=\"Tensions rise between civil service and ministers globally, study shows\" width=\"809\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ffgff-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ffgff-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ffgff-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ffgff.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-23490\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Then-prime minister David Cameron, centre, addresses the UK civil service, flanked by Gus O\u2019Donnell, left, and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Four areas that can help:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Establish a clear understanding of political objectives and civil service stewardship<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Implement training programmes for new ministers and political advisers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Safeguard and reinforce the provision of impartial advice<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Cultivate leaders who actively defend civil servants in public forum<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-23491\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ghjhgk-150x86.png\" alt=\"Tensions rise between civil service and ministers globally, study shows\" width=\"802\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ghjhgk-150x86.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ghjhgk-300x172.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ghjhgk.png 590w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EthicsBlogoTerms\"><\/span>#EthicsBlogoTerms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Blogs_%E2%80%A6\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Related Blogs &#8230;<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse;
