Our courses focus on the public sector and Aboriginal governance. Our programs are designed to increase the effectiveness of professionals who are facing a changing world of accountability, financial management, performance reporting, policy development, service delivery, decision-making and leadership.
Our network of leading thinkers and former practitioners bring to the scheduled courses senior experience, up-to-date case studies, and practical tools of the trade.
Why does this matter today?
The public service is changing, and public servants need to change with it. Internal pressures include ongoing change characterized at the federal level by DRAP, churn in the public service at all levels, and an ongoing demand for efficiencies. External ones include increasing citizen demands for consultation, the growth of social media, the cross-cutting nature of so-called ‘wicked’ policy issues, and the realization that governments need to work more closely with other sectors in both policy development and service delivery to get the job done.
Aboriginal communities and organizations face significant governance challenges as they work to improve the well being of their citizens.
Leaders and managers need enhanced skills for new challenges. The Institute on Governance (IOG) offers basic and intermediate programs to equip and empower the leaders and managers of today to meet both immediate priorities as well as the challenges of tomorrow.
