Len Cook in conversation with Ian Fraser

From a modest upbringing in South Dunedin to the highest echelons of public service in New Zealand and the UK, Len’s career has spanned five decades, two hemispheres, and some of the most important shifts in government policy, data transparency, and public trust. This book captures not just the facts of that career, but the principles and values that guided it — from census reform and Māori data sovereignty to the quiet power of public service done well.
