Overview
Curriculum
Instructor

To many, the most challenging and complex imperative for government and public sector leaders at all levels is how to recognize and maximize opportunities for meeting citizen expectations in a way that builds trust and confidence in government. Citizens of a nation expect the government and public sector organizations to find solutions to every social, economic, environmental, and political problem and reliably perform “day-to-day” tasks effectively and efficiently. Citizen expectations for high-performance government are on the rise at a time when budgets and timelines shrink, leaving government leaders struggling to deliver results.

To overcome these pressures, government leaders and executives in public sector organizations must embrace the concept of innovation and its associated management tools and practices. Having the proper knowledge and competencies in innovation helps deliver results that build and maintain citizens’ trust and confidence in the government and its organizations.

Government and Public Sector Innovation is a learned mindset and process entailing a shift in thinking: a disciplined approach enforced by robust, flexible, and creative leadership is rare. Consequently, government leaders are missing the opportunity to exercise innovative leadership to improve government performance.
