UPCOMING EVENTS

01nov10:00 PM01mar10:00 PMFuture public sector leaders' seriesOnline Event Organized By: ANZSOG

Event Details

ANZSOG’s Future public sector leaders’ series will inspire and educate the public sector leaders of the future, providing hard-working, passionate public sector leaders with an opportunity for self-reflection and professional growth in short, ‘choose-your-own adventure’ sessions designed to minimise the impact on work/life commitments.

Public sector leaders have always needed to think creatively to solve complex problems and deliver public value to their communities. Now, as governments work through the many impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, it is even more important for you as an emerging public sector leader to have the knowledge, creativity and confidence required to provide informed and timely advice, and lead others through change. To do this, you need to understand the broader context of the environment you are working in and be prepared to think strategically about the future.

ANZSOG has purpose-built the Future public sector leaders’ series to create an inspiring online experience that will help you strengthen your capacity to tackle problems in an increasingly complex and ambiguous environment.

ANZSOG has assembled a group of leading domestic and international thinkers on public management and leadership, including faculty from ANZSOG’s Executive Master of Public Administration and other leading ANZSOG programs, to provide you with the inspiration and practical tools to succeed through these volatile and uncertain times.

You will have the chance to learn from current and former CEOs and senior public administrators, premiers, politicians and academics, who will help you become the leader you want to be – talented, creative and prepared to innovate.

Short and engaging online masterclasses, designed to fit around your busy workday, will provide a forum to discuss the future challenges of the public service and how they affect your role, your agency and the communities you serve. These include topics such as: leading through disruption, digital transformation, policy implementation, authentic and adaptive leadership, political astuteness, government innovation, systems thinking, and evidence-based policy design.

The Future public sector leaders’ series will help you reimagine your role in the public sector, legitimising your position as an inspiring, innovative public servant prepared for the challenges of today with an eye on the problems of tomorrow.

Event Details

In a time of volatility and uncertainty, senior public sector executives are facing constantly shifting priorities and increasing demands. More than ever before, it’s vital for you to develop the leadership, management and strategic skills you need to lead high performing teams.

The Executive Fellows Program (EFP) challenges senior public sector executives to develop new leadership perspectives in a highly interactive online setting while exploring contemporary issues, such as the COVID-19 crisis response and recovery strategies, Black Lives Matter, the impact of climate change and the #metoo movement.

The EFP is not just any executive leadership course. The EFP puts you in the ‘room’ with fellow public sector executives from across Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand, expanding your professional network and creating an opportunity to learn from the experiences of other jurisdictions. You will benefit from lively, interactive online sessions, including online sprints and offline reflection which can be done at your own pace – all tailored to fit around the lives of busy public sector executives.

You will learn from a cast of renowned academics and senior public sector practitioners from Australia, Aotearoa-New Zealand and around the world, in a program designed to help you take the next step in your career. The EFP alumni includes more than 200 public sector leaders who have gone on to hold roles as CEOs or Secretaries (equivalents) or deputies after completing the program.

Develop a greater sense of who you are as a leader and how you can shape organisational change to deliver public value to the communities you serve.
