SUMMARY:The FCDOA Online Talk by Sir Anthony Seldon
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening the PM\, No 10 and the centre of government for the mid 21st century world \n  \n \nBritain has had an unprecedented seven prime ministers in the last 10 years. It’s been nearly 40 years since it had a truly agenda changing\, world class Prime Minister. Whitehall used to be the Rolls-Royce Civil Service globally: 50 separate countries modelled their government bureaucracies on it. Now it is operating like a Morris Marina. The centre of government is disjointed\, full of infighting\, and broken preferring short to long-term\, the immediate and urgent to the necessary and important\, is swollen with political advisers rather than the deep specialists it needs\, and is riven by self-interest. How can Britain possibly compete internationally\, at least of all against authoritarian states if it continues like it is. The talk will show the way forward.\n\nProfessor Sir Anthony Seldon\nHistorian\, Author\, Educator \nSir Anthony Seldon is a distinguished historian\, author and educational leader\, renowned for his expertise on British prime ministers\, 10 Downing Street and the future of education and AI. \nHe has written or edited over 50 books\, including acclaimed accounts of recent British prime ministers. He has served as honorary historian of 10 Downing Street and Chair of the National Archives Trust. \nFormerly Headmaster of Brighton College and Wellington College\, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham\, he is now Founding Director of Wellington College Education\, focusing on the future of global education and the impact of AI.
