Better Data for Better Management in Government Organizations
I am a Professor of Management and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, an Honorary Professor at University College London and a Senior Research Fellow at Green Templeton College.
My core research interest is in what Dan Rogger and I call ‘Government analytics’: the use of data from original surveys, administrative records and field experiments for better measurement and management of public sector organizations.
I have collaborated in this research with numerous international organizations and governments, and have co-founded some of the world’s leading government analytics initiatives, including the Global Survey of Public Servants, the Latin American Public Employment and Pay Indicators, the Survey of National Statistical Office Employees, and the Government Analytics Fellowship.

I have also been Principal Investigator of a number of large-scale randomized control trials of management interventions in governments. These include, most recently:
- ‘Digital Leadership Training and Digital Transformation in Government: Field Experimental Evidence from Brazil‘ (GBP636.000 ESRC-FAPESP grant, with Maria Alexandra Cunha, Dave Eaves and Kim Mikkelsen)
- ‘Do Employee Engagement Surveys and Coaching Enhance Employee Engagement? Field Experimental Evidence from the Government of Luxembourg’ (GBP640,000 ESCR-FNR grant, with Ludivine Martin, Jan Meyer-Sahling and Kim Mikkelsen)
- ‘Evaluating the Effectiveness of Line Management Training in the Civil Service’ (UK Cabinet Office-funded project, with Ine Steenmans and Eleanor Woodhouse)
