This episode is brought to you by the Leading Into Tomorrow podcast from EY. We talk a lot on this show about ideas that shape our world. But what about the people shaping the future of public service? In leading into tomorrow, EY brings you discussions with government and public sector leaders who are navigating complex challenges and transforming their organizations

to serve citizens better. From managing an evolving risk landscape to exploring how AI is reshaping

government, these leaders aren't just talking innovation. They're living it, and the conversations

go deep, not just the what, but the how. Whether you work in government,

care about public services, or are curious about what leadership looks like in an era of rapid

change, this series offers inspiring insights you won't want to miss. Leading into tomorrow is out now.
