Acknowledgements

There is always a team of people involved in any book project. We would like to thank all those who have contributed their ideas and insights to us over the years we have been involved with helping reshape government.

We hugely appreciate the support of Lord Robin Butler, Baron Butler of Brockwell, and Professor Subramanian Rangan in providing contributions to the book. Both are inspirational figures in this field.

Our colleagues, Dr Mona Hammami and Fiona Schwab, greatly supported Government for a New Age by reviewing the manuscript as it developed and giving us invaluable feedback. Andrew Archer provided expert input on national risk management and resilience.

We are also grateful for the support provided by the Economic Intelligence Unit on earlier research that we drew on in developing Government for a New Age.

Thanks to Nayla Abouchakra and Zeina El Kaissi for acting as sounding boards and for their encouragement throughout the development of the book. And we would specifically like to thank Dr Herbert Pohl for his expert input.

Finally, we would like to thank Stuart Crainer and Des Dearlove, the founders of the Thinkers50, for their input, support and enthusiasm. Their colleague Steve Coomber was a vital member of the team in helping shape and transform our ideas and research into a book.

Rabih Abouchakra and Michel Khoury,
