Labour has announced five missions to focus their plans for government. But how can this approach be turned into reality to solve some of the UK's biggest societal challenges? What lessons can be learned from the mission-driven approaches applied elsewhere to make a mission-driven government as effective as possible?

At Nesta, we take a mission-driven approach to solving some of society's biggest problems, with the aim of creating a society that gives people a fairer start, healthier lives and a sustainable future. Our recently launched policy project, UK 2040 Options, offers policymakers the opportunity to think ambitiously together about the future we want to create - and the different pathways government could take to achieve change.

We’re convening experts from across the policy and government landscape to explore how a mission-driven approach could lead a future government to future successes.
