Strong democracies need an effective civil service, quality politicians and a participatory population. Revitalizing governance so that it serves people and the planet will require strengthening all three parts of this “democracy flywheel”. The Apolitical Foundation has been asking, “what if we loved politicians?”, “”what would that look like?””, and “”what would it take?”. In her talk on the main stage, Apolitical Foundation CEO Lisa Witter explores links between politicians and bureaucracies and the future of their intertwined relationship. She draws on her 25 years in political training and experience as co-founder of public-servant learning platform Apolitical.co for this evidence-driven and thought-provoking presentation that will leave you believing that politics can be different. Apolitical.co serves 160,000 public servants from more than 170 countries and was named one of the Most Innovative Companies in the World by Fast Company in 2018. Lisa and her co-founder, Robyn Scott, received the Creative Bureaucracy Festival Award in 2020.
