Unlocking cross-agency collaboration: our proven blueprint for lasting impact

Today’s biggest societal challenges - like social equity, regional development and climate resilience – often don’t fit neatly within a single government agency’s mandate. Aligning efforts across government can feel monumental. Each team has their own strategies, policies, and priorities, which can make it hard to find common ground. Organisational silos, resource and budget constraints, and even cultural divides further complicate collaboration. Yet, we know cross-agency work is where real impact happens - where shared expertise, resources, and aligned goals can create meaningful change that makes a difference in people’s lives.

At Iceni, we’ve worked across government agencies to build unified visions, even when consensus seemed impossible. We’ve seen how collaboration can drive powerful, lasting impact when teams rally around a shared purpose.

We’d love to hear your experiences—what’s worked and what hasn’t. Let’s talk about making cross-agency collaboration easier and more impactful!
