About <strong>ANZSOG</strong><strong>ANZSOG</strong> was established in 2002 as a unique initiative <strong>of</strong> five governments <strong>and</strong> tenuniversities <strong>and</strong> business schools. <strong>Australia</strong>n <strong>and</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zeal<strong>and</strong> governments recognisedthe need for a world-class centre to provide tailored learning opportunities for futurepublic sector leaders. <strong>ANZSOG</strong>’s purpose is to encourage improved public sector decisionmaking,performance <strong>and</strong> policy outcomes for the benefit <strong>of</strong> the whole society. In doing so,the <strong>School</strong> plays a key role in promoting public service as a pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> great social value.The <strong>School</strong> has several distinctive features:• a focus on evidence-based policy, strategic management <strong>and</strong> their intersections in the public sector• a partnership between governments <strong>and</strong> universities that integrates the high st<strong>and</strong>ards, rigour<strong>and</strong> educational know-how <strong>of</strong> the best <strong>Australia</strong>n <strong>and</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zeal<strong>and</strong> universities with custom-drivenrequirements for relevance <strong>and</strong> practicality, in an environment <strong>of</strong> constant change <strong>and</strong> new challengesfor government• an inter-jurisdictional <strong>and</strong> international collaboration that recognises <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zeal<strong>and</strong> canonly support one world class school <strong>of</strong> government: no one jurisdiction or university can attain the scale<strong>and</strong> scope needed to support the large, high quality, diverse <strong>and</strong> constantly changing needs <strong>of</strong> government.This collaboration also enables it to address the common, shared problems <strong>of</strong> governments <strong>and</strong> focus onissues where governments need to work together• a network, somewhat virtual in character, with much <strong>of</strong> the teaching <strong>and</strong> research being conducted on adistributed basis across <strong>Australia</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>New</strong> Zeal<strong>and</strong>.<strong>ANZSOG</strong>’s flagship courses are the two-year Executive Master <strong>of</strong> Public Administration (EMPA), <strong>of</strong>fered tohigh-potential <strong>and</strong> emerging public sector managers; <strong>and</strong> the Executive Fellows Program (EFP), a threeweekintensive course for senior executives.
