A program and registration form will be available shortly.

This executive workshop seeks to provide a clear executive-level view of the threats to public sector integrity, and the variety of approaches and systems available to manage such risks.

It will help executives understand the connection and relationship between personal values, professional values, and the production of public value. Attendees will also examine the relationship between the nature of corruption control strategy and developments in Public Sector Management (e.g. increasing use of collaborative partnerships and multi-party networks).

Who should attend?
This course is designed for senior public sector executives, who may serve in a range of different agencies and roles over time. It will be particularly useful for executives undergoing a transition from one setting to another, or being promoted into more senior managerial roles.

The course is aimed at SES and senior managers for managing risks to integrity is an important strategic issue rather than specialists in the field.
