Purpose and Vision

ANZSOG represents a bold commitment on behalf of the member governments to strengthen the management and policy capacity of their respective public sectors.

The School was created because governments from across Australia and New Zealand recognised they required a world-class centre that would provide tailored learning opportunities for future leaders of the public sector.

ANZSOG’s purpose, therefore, is to encourage improved public sector decision making, leadership and policy outcomes for the benefit of the whole society. In doing so, the School also plays a key role in promoting public service as a profession of great social value.

Vision

ANZSOG was established with the vision of creating a world-leading educational institution that teaches strategic management and high-level policy to public sector leaders and acts as a trusted facilitator that helps governments find solutions to real world public issues.

ANZSOG is dedicated to creating value for the public by:

• providing world-class education for public sector leaders
• delivering programs that build new policy, research and management capability
• conducting research that makes a significant contribution to policy knowledge
• encouraging public sector innovation

The School seeks to attract high potential participants from all Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions and, in due course, from the non-government sector. ANZSOG also accepts some participants from the Asia-Pacific region and plans to accept more international students in the future. We are establishing valuable partnerships with governments in our region and building networks with like-minded schools throughout the world.
