1. INTRODUCTION

The public sector’s role and its classical paradigm of slow movement is changing. This fast-paced change requires a specialized look at the meaning of strategy management in this exciting sector. Compared to private sector organizations, the public sector has a tremendously complex network of stakeholders, partners and customers with varying expectations. Beyond that, each public-sector entity needs to understand its role in achieving higher purpose goals that meet the competitiveness ambition of the jurisdiction in which it operates.

In this course, we will define and practice the importance of competitiveness as a nation. We will also deep dive into the elements of the strategy pyramid in the public sector looking at setting a national vision, cascading this vision to entities, putting the right Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success, deciding on public policy and collaborating with partners to execute the strategy through initiatives.

2. MODE OF DELIVERY

 The course reviews best practices in strategy management from different nations around the globe. We will look at national and entity level examples from the UAE, Singapore, UK, US, and other nations.
