The Demos reports, pamphlets and collections I’ve helped write or edit:

2006

• The New Geography of Innovation: Finland, India, Science and Technology - a report for Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Agency, about how Finland should understand the rise of India and forge new collaborative links.
• Better Humans? - A collection of essays by leading scientists and commentators to explore the implications of human enhancement technologies and asks how citizens and policy-makers should respond (co-edited with James Wilsdon).
• Disablist Britain - A report co-authored with Sarah Gillinson and Julia Huber drawing together statistics about the way that disabled people are discriminated against in almost all areas of their lives.

2005

• Independent Living - A pamphlet calling for a radical overhaul of support for disabled people. Reform should be built on the principle that those best placed to identify the needs of disabled people and how to meet those needs are disabled people themselves (co-authored with Sarah Gillinson and Hannah Green).

2004

• The Pro-Am Revolution - A Demos pamphlet, written with Charles Leadbeater about the rise of a new breed of amateur who take their pursuits to professional standards. Described by the New York Times as one of the ‘big ideas of the year’.
• Disablism - A pamphlet written with Sophia Parker and Sarah Gillinson about new methods for tackling discrimination against disabled people.
• Disorganisation - a pamphlet about why future organisations will need to ‘loosen up’ providing work that is more in line with employees’ values if they want to hold onto their most talented people. (co-authored with Paul Skidmore)
• Network Logic - A Demos collection, edited with Helen McCarthy and Paul Skidmore, on the importance of networks to modern life and governance. Contributors include Fritjof Capra, Manuel Castells, Diane Coyle, Geoff Mulgan, Karen Stephenson and Howard Rheingold.

2003

• London Calling - A Demos pamphlet co-authored with Helen McCarthy on the challenges and opportunities that the next generation of mobile phones might lead to for public services and businesses in London.
• The Long Game - A Demos pamphlet on the future of regulation which I co-authored with Paul Skidmore and Jake Chapman. It argues that the current way of regulating companies is leading to greater complexity and unintended consequences and goes on to propose ‘regulating self-regulation’ as a possible way ahead.
