EVENTS
Leadership for
Managing Reforms
In 2021, we evolved our vision of this
thematic area. With it, we aim to support
people, teams, and institutions to envision,
design and implement policy reforms.
We see public officials as confident and
networked leaders of ideas, people, and reforms.
That is why we offer learning events
that stimulate institutional and personal capacities and
growth. We do so by focusing on communication, problem-solving,
networking, digital skills, policy cycles, and
management.
We also aim to support the teams in institutions in organizing
work based on trust and values, through exploring modalities
for joint problem-solving that work best for them,
bringing in innovation and spirit of joint achievements.
We firmly believe public institutions can advance as
knowledge-centered, resilient, and innovative organizations.
To support this, we offer our own institutional
experience in knowledge sharing, leadership, and nurturing
organizational culture. We provide learning on
inter-governmental policy coordination and collaboration,
foresight and strategic planning, and resilience.
In 2021, we saw numerous examples of leadership at all
levels and corners of our constituency and partners. Living
and working with the pandemic, handling the multifaceted
agendas of economic recovery intertwined with digital and
green transformations. All this made the public officials
braver, innovative, with improved digital and face-to-face
communication skills, inclusive and caring of many different
interests and people. The public institutions, their
teams, and individuals continued to go forward.
