Welcome to INSIDE PUBLIC SECTOR LEADERSHIP: PRACTICAL WISDOM  
Inside Public Sector Leadership: Practical Wisdom (IPSL) is  an on-line mentoring program designed to explore the unwritten protocols and grey areas that leaders in today’s public service need to navigate in an environment of increasingly centralized decision making, a stronger political service, permanent campaigning, big data and a 24/7 news cycle.

  YOUR LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • As a program participant, you will hear from master mentors sharing ideas about how they tackled uniquely government challenges and worked to solve the seemingly unsolvable problems they faced. This inter-active course shares stories of experience told by mentors who have previously held senior bureaucratic roles or elected office in provincial and federal governments in Canada.​
  • The live, online conversations are reinforced by an extensive Resource Room, Discussion Forum and additional mentor interviews. You'll have the time and support to review the materials as often as you like during the program and for a full year.​
  • Depending on your management level and experience in government, you will take away different learning that can boost your confidence and can be immediately applied to the issues you face every day. ​​
