As we reach the final week of Analysis in Government month, it’s been a fantastic week with lots of you getting engaged with events, webinars, reading blogs and sharing your stories.

Here are some of the highlights of Week 4:

We featured two Heads of Profession premieres on our You Tube channel, with both David Wood, Head of Geography and Tony O’Connor Head of Government Operational Research talking about highlights of their careers and what makes them proud to be government analysts. David also clearly demonstrates the challenges of balancing home and work life!
