7. Contribute to the ongoing development of tools to promote a strong strategic culture across the organisation, encouraging long-term thinking, collaboration and evidence-based decision-making

8. Support the development of policy positions on regulatory reform and national plans, and engage with external stakeholders to push forward and shape reforms to the regulatory framework in Wales, in line with the needs of our strategy and plans.

9. Support government and policy engagement by producing policy analysis, insights and strategic positions to inform external consultations and national strategic plans.
