Course Overview

Change in the public sector requires balancing bureaucracy, accountability, and political expectations while delivering improved services for citizens. Unlike the private sector, government reforms must navigate complex stakeholder networks, regulatory environments, and heightened public scrutiny.

This Change Management in Government and Public Sector Training Course helps participants apply proven change management frameworks to the unique challenges of government. Participants will explore strategies to manage resistance, foster collaboration, and align reforms with policy goals while keeping citizens at the center.

Through case studies, simulations, and discussions, participants will learn to design and implement change initiatives that build trust, achieve efficiency, and sustain long-term benefits for the public.
