From pandemic to paradigm shift
In this post-truth, post-pandemic era, citizen expectations of their governments and of the service they provide are shifting rapidly. Technology-enabled work approaches will challenge our cities and our societies forever. The international trade trends and global deficits are going to be game changers for Canada. This complex and interconnected world will require networked leaders working together toward a shared goal.
For public sector leaders, this is a period of opportunity and a moment for decisive leadership.
Our Virtual Executive Leadership Program (vELP) prepares public sector leaders across departments and jurisdictions tasked to navigate the deep and rapid changes of our times.
As leaders you will be called to develop and implement the new policies and programs for this new Canada and the vELP will allow you to develop a new holistic perspective and the skills to be successful.
The new virtual formula breaks the regional barriers! Meet colleagues from all across Canada!
Program Benefits
- You will discuss the latest, citizen-centric thinking on governance in the post-pandemic’s ‘new normal’ (whatever that, ultimately, ends up being).
- You will be able to cut through the ‘noise’ of the current times to make critical decisions on resource allocation and to get results for audiences that matter.
- You will emerge more confident in your abilities as a people-leader and better able to respond to the leadership challenges you will face as your career progresses.
Program Outline
Throughout the program participants will have the opportunity to join a network of peers and step back from the day-to-day to explore complex topics and issues. Guided by high-level guest speakers and skilled program facilitators, this program will allow participants to stretch their thinking around relevant challenges and opportunities.
