Description

In today’s dynamic, global economy it is essential for both public and private organizations to be able to respond to changes in internal and external demand, political environments, and resource constraints. This requires an organization that fosters a culture of learning and change.

Outcomes of this workshop are inclusive of the following:

• an understanding of the changing public sector environment
