Course overview

Public services need to meet citizens' needs while giving people equitable access. Work on delivery systems covers design, implementation and improvement, using innovative practices and cases to address barriers and efficiency. Day 1 covers systems, governance and leadership, alongside discussions of the challenges that services face.

Citizen needs guide design. On Day 2, delegates examine expectations and tools for co-creation, with equity and inclusion informing citizen-centred models and examples of service innovation.

Days 3 and 4 connect digital transformation, e-governance and smart technologies with performance assessment. Delegates consider obstacles to adoption, service models, benchmarks and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), using feedback mechanisms to support continuous improvement and measure citizen satisfaction.

Cross-sector collaboration closes the programme. Work with private and non-governmental organisations includes Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), stakeholder engagement and resource management, followed by strategies for changing delivery systems. Action planning provides a basis for implementing service improvements within delegates' organisations.
