Course Overview

Globalisation, modernisation, and the fast-evolving private sector have warranted urgent and necessary changes within the public sector. Citizens’ preferences for faster, better quality and more convenient services is forcing the public sector to undergo reform, which is, in turn, resulting in an increased focus on reform initiatives.

Public sector reforms are initiatives undertaken to make deliberate changes to the structure and processes of public sector organisations to enhance public administration. Reforms are mainly focused around public financial management, tax administration and transparency, operations and civil service.

The success of reforms does not only depend on and require technical knowledge and capacity; it also involves financial capabilities and political cooperation. Given how the public sector has been operated for years together, public sector reforms are faced with many complex challenges and hindrances of social and political context, such as corruption, patronage, political majority, etc.

It is thus extremely important that these reforms be carried out in a focused and planned manner, anticipating all hindrances and interferences and undertaking steps to minimise their impact on the reform initiative. A successful reform is not one that is completed on time but one that meets its objective consistently.

The success of reformed or changed processes and structures of a public sector organisation can only be beneficial if the change and enhanced processes and systems are carried forward ably and consistently. This gives rise to the need for capacity building within the public sector. Capacity building is an improvement in the abilities of the public sector through public performance enhancement activities and initiatives. While training is an important activity in this performance enhancement initiative, it is not the only one.

Capacity building is driven by a strong organisational structure, good management practices, effective communication networks and the like. Similarly, performances of individual public sector employees are influenced by opportunities for meaningful work, shared professional norms, teamwork, performance-based promotions, etc.

Considering the current situation, public sector reform and capacity building are the two most important areas of focus in the public sector, and thus, public sector professionals must understand these thoroughly.

This ZOE training course will empower you with complete knowledge and understanding of  Public Sector Management. It will equip with you with all the necessary information and skills to undertake reforms and capacity building within your organisation and complete these.

Undertaking this Masterclass in Public Sector Management course will not only build your competency for additional growth opportunities within your organisation but will also help you play an important role in upskilling your peers and other colleagues, together with systems and processes, to provide better services to citizens.

This Masterclass in Public Sector Management course will also provide you with the necessary exposure to and information about other sectors, thus increasing your avenues for career growth and development.

Last but not the least, it will instil in you the confidence to be part of large projects involving multiple sectors and various large-scale initiatives with the main aim of better services to citizens, in turn contributing to the advancement of the public sector and, eventually, economic development of the nation.
