THE CHALLENGE OF PUBLIC-SECTOR LEADERSHIPNew pressures regarding accountability, partnerships
and highly-technical challenges in healthcare, energy,
security, and the environment are radically reshaping
the public service challenge at all levels of government.
Most local issues now have an international aspect, and
most international policy choices also relate to local,
street-level reality in many ways.
The challenge for todays public servant is one requiring
judgment, perspective, knowledge networks, dynamic
linkages and the capacity to deliver or engage with drill
down technical acuity.
Learning and questioning together with colleagues
from other regions and levels, with diverse skill sets and
experiences, in an idea- and analysis-rich environment,
is the essence of the Queens Public Executive Program
content and design. Our alumni benefit from new ideas,
fresh networks and compelling insights about their
professional and career challenges.

THE PUBLIC POLICY PROCESS
The global and domestic forces that shape
the Canadian policy agenda.
Global forces
The changing nature of the nation-state as a result of globalization and new international agreements on trade, currency, and security
The impact of global capital flows
The growth of new international sovereignties
The dynamics of the Canadian Social Union
The emerging new trade agenda
The new international economic and security context
Domestic forces
The increasing diversity of Canadian society and rapidly changing values
The politics of difference and sharpening disputes and divisions in Canadian society
The changing role of governments in an environment of increasing demands for accountability, efficiency, and effectiveness
Increased demands for citizen engagement in the policy process
Addressing the balance between management and policy in efficient and capable government
Over the last decade, the public sector in Canada has undergone a process of deep and fundamental change. The leadership in government and the policy-making process has been under pressure to respond to increased demands for openness, transparency, and citizen engagement.
As policy becomes more responsive to stakeholders, there are additional
pressures to make it more coherent. Governments are being asked to publish
policy in advance, and they are being held accountable for meeting their
commitments.
At the same time, the world has become increasingly uncertain, and Canadian
policy is being influenced by factors outside domestic control. In many situations,
governments find themselves doing policy in real time.
The conflict between the requirement for consultation in a rapidly changing
environment and the constraints of efficiency has placed almost impossible
demands on Canadian policy makers.
Queens Public Executive Program focuses on public policy issues in the modern
Canadian context of rebalanced responsibilities, horizontality, and improved
customer service. The Program offers a comprehensive overview of the public
policy agenda, along with a strategic approach to managing, implementing, and
evaluating policy.
The Policy Agenda
This program definitely made a difference for me. It helped me be a better leader
and executive in the public service, as well as a better person overall.

Reviewing the risks and opportunities of operating in a post-deficit environment. How will the political process respond and change?

Judging the appropriateness and legitimacy of various policy instruments
Improving public policy implementation,
performance, and evaluation.

LEADING THE PUBLIC-SECTOR ORGANIZATION
Todays public-sector manager faces
new challenges. Growing requirements
for coordination between government
and its partners demand more extensive
consultation to ensure that stakeholder
interests are incorporated into objectives.
Increasingly, public-sector executives find
themselves redesigning organizations
and procedures to incorporate this new
accountability, while applying new human
resource management techniques that
include delegation of authority and joint
responsibility.
Public-sector managers have a new focus on developing accountability frameworks, devolving responsibility to NGOs, and learning how to structure accountability to get commitments from partners.
To accomplish this, senior public servants must be able to use a broad set of management tools commonly associated with the private sector. The Program will introduce these private-sector tools in a publicsector context. The session leaders have extensive experience in the application of these tools to the public service, and understand how private-sector concepts need to be adapted to work in the public sector.
Public-Sector ManagementIt is clear that the concept of public management has changed radically in the last decade. Deficit reduction and government restructuring have affected the public sector in Canada and most other OECD countries. The old public-sector paradigm of carefully defined roles, reliance on rules and procedures, and central agency oversight is becoming obsolete in favour of a more client-focused, service-oriented system.
This new type of government promotes competition between service providers,
measures performance based on output, defines clients as customers, and
energizes all sectors public, private, and voluntary to solve community
problems.
In this new framework, public-sector executives face a challenge: On the one
hand, they are expected to deliver results measured against political targets.
On the other, they are increasingly being asked to incorporate private-sector
business practices into public-service models.
The Program examines this tension, and focuses on the use of modern
management tools in todays public-sector organization.
Upon moving from elected public service into the professional public service,
I was looking for a practical, high-level personal development tool that might fit
my needs and time constraints. Queens Public Executive Program exceeded my
expectations and I highly recommend it as a superb two-week investment for any
public servant in a leadership position.

Todays public service has a critical need for
strong and ethical leadership. Todays public
service is in flux. Still tied to traditional
values while embracing new technologies,
it must incorporate private-sector
innovation and public-sector best practices,
national goals and local political priorities.
Another challenge that confronts public-
sector leadership is one shared by private-
sector leaders how does an organization
harness its resources to manage and
capitalize on opportunities?
To do all this, todays public service has
a critical need for strong and ethical
leadership. Attrition, political change, and
hiring freezes have thinned the ranks of
senior public servants. As a result, many
of todays younger managers must fill the
gap as the current generation of senior
managers begins to retire.
A key focus for these new managers will be
the concept of public service. Is it eroding
in this era of efficiency-based management?
New managers in the public sector must be
committed to the service of the Canadian
public, not simply to improving efficiency.
Accountability demands that senior
managers have a responsibility to restore
the values of public service that are so
important to a motivated and committed
government service.
Leadership And Ethics
Performance management
Building and sustaining a positive work climate through the creation of teams of committed employees

Creating strategies for building alignment and commitment
Managing change on a continuous basis
Creating the high-performance workplace
Rebuilding morale in the public sector
Ethical leadership
Restoring the concepts of pride, duty, and service to the public sector
Developing ethical guidelines
Coping with the pressure to facilitate, consult, and work with citizens
