Public sector transformation starts with people. At the leadership level, tailored programs support strategic thinking, adaptive capacity, and cross-entity collaboration. New workforce models, talent mobility strategies, and communities of practice are shaping a civil service that’s capable, connected, and confident. Driving this shift is a system-wide effort to align leadership development with digital ambitions and national priorities.

This ensures that day-to-day decisions serve long-term ambitions — and that transformation is both measurable and sustainable.
