Our on-line programs help public sector leaders, at all levels, to navigate between politics and bureaucracy. 

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.

​Our Master Mentor presenters come from an elite cadre of former Canadian provincial, national and international politicians and bureaucrats,  who are excited to ‘pay-it-forward’ and share their experience and hard won lessons. You'll also hear from top academic and media experts sharing their knowledge and perspectives on what it takes to succeed in government.
