Building a resilient public sector for the future 🏛️ To effectively tackle the long-term challenges our society is facing, the #PublicSector must focus on five fundamental building blocks that will enhance its capacity to respond to today’s rapidly evolving needs. By strengthening these foundations, we can empower the public sector to create a more #sustainable and equitable future. What is your view on these building blocks? 💡Read more in our publication now! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dAXQppfG #RolandBerger #Governance #LongTermPlanning #PublicPolicy Pierre Bastien, Ina Wietheger, Frederick Van Gysegem, Willem Vanlaer

#PolicyPaper | In 2015, the United Nations adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, comprising 17 goals aimed at creating a better world. However, there is a question as to whether something is missing from this agenda. Democracy, though part of the vision, is not explicitly listed among the goals. This #AFDResearchPub explores this omission by examining the historical link between democracy and development, as well as the role of development assistance in promoting democracy ▶ https://ow.ly/oRPu50TzKmW Rémy Rioux Jean-David Naudet Matthieu Trichet

Collaboration is embedded in the pursuit of public purpose – between and across tiers and spheres of government, with private, not for profit, and community actors, and through market and network instruments.      Collaboration came of age in the late 20th century, a consequence of changed global conditions and sweeping public administration reforms that re-shaped policy and practice.     Until now.      The current global instability, the uneven legacy of reform and the emergence/persistence of public policy challenges suggests we need a new approach.      The Irene Longman Oration, taking place on the 20th November is a timely opportunity to think about where we are and to draw inspiration from Irene’s preparedness to challenge the status quo to consider how we can shape what comes next.      The Oration begins by asking what is the ‘status quo’ in public policy and administration and draw on the enduring power of ideas about economics and security to provide an answer. It argues that a new approach is required built on values of sustainability, sovereignty, and justice.   To find out more, and to join as a member to secure you seat, check out the link below.   https://lnkd.in/gi7iDdBM #ipaainsights #ipaaqld2024 #keepinformed #challengeyouthinking #buildconnection

‘Strategies’ in collective impact are rarely new programs, but rather activities that create the systems-level alignments and changes that build to population-level outcomes. We’ve seen four major types of such strategies in our consulting and research on collective impact: https://lnkd.in/dkcinmrf #collectiveimpact #socialchange #systemschange #socialimpact

Reflecting on another thought-provoking Chatham House London Conference, where global leaders converged to explore "solutions for a world in conflict." Starting with CNN Fareed Zakaria's vivid storytelling about a current breakdown in the international rules-based order, the event featured an impressive lineup of speakers addressing critical issues from protectionism and post-conflict opportunities to energy security and AI's impact on democracy. #GlobalLeadership #ConflictResolution Some takeaways: • Despite the macro-level political rhetoric in this significant election year, there's cautious optimism and progress at the sector level. • Collaboration is crucial in articulating the consequences of protectionism and policy uncertainty, impacting access to innovation and the cost of resilience, project delivery, and regional competitiveness. • The surge in global debt, coupled with reduced Paris Club involvement, presents both development challenges and opportunities for innovative economic trade models. • There's a concerning "hollowing out" of capability in many government and development agencies, potentially leading to missed opportunities in crucial sectors like energy, resources, and infrastructure. This gap in expertise could hinder the identification and investment in sector-specific opportunities, particularly in areas critical to the energy transition and sustainable development. #ChathamHouse #GlobalPolicy #EconomicInnovation #AIandDemocracy #EnergySecurity #SectorExpertise #chlondon

Is public consultation little more than a token gesture? I know this sounds harsh (and it's not a criticism of the individuals, rather the system at large). But, after a heck of a lot of different engagements around the world, plenty of research and a lot of dialogue with folks that have decades of experience, I'm gonna stick with it. Yes, most 'public consultation' is little more than a token gesture. So, what can we do? Well, the work Mathew Mytka, Adrian Hindes, Samuel Wines and I produced last year is response to the Department of Industry, Science and Resources might help. So, if you're feeling a little courageous and creative, let's have a chat. #innovation #climateadaptation #diversity #codesign #governance #democracy https://lnkd.in/g_HVf3x6
