flag On January 20, 2026, UK Chief Secretary Darren Jones launched a major civil service overhaul to create a faster, more efficient "digital state," cutting red tape, expanding the No10 Innovation Fellows programme to 30 tech experts, and launching new taskforces with direct leadership access to accelerate decision-making. flag A National School of Government will train civil servants in digital and operational skills, while hiring prioritizes delivery experience over traditional qualifications. flag Starting April 2026, streamlined processes will reduce delays, with performance-based bonuses and dismissal for underperforming senior staff. flag The reforms aim to match private-sector speed and accountability, empowering civil servants as proactive problem-solvers.
