Kai Rudat, Dialogue by Design director

We recently had the sad and shocking news of the sudden death of a much-loved and respected colleague, Kai Rudat, who had been a director at OPM for more than 16 years, and of Dialogue by Design since January 2012. A service of remembrance took place on 27th November and many current and former OPM and Dialogue by Design members attended to pay their respects. We expect to make arrangements to commemorate Kai's life and many contributions to public services at a future date.
