The document discusses how design can be used in government policymaking. It describes the Policy Lab UK, which works with government departments to use design approaches to policy problems. The lab runs demonstration projects and lighter "Lab Light" projects to help policymakers use techniques like challenge setting, idea building and prototyping. The goal is to bring purposeful creativity to policymaking to create better outcomes and value for citizens.
