Building In-House Capacity: Momentum, Scale, Measuring and Embedding
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how important public sector capacities and capabilities are in terms of reacting to crises and re-configuring existing policies and implementation practices. Climate emergency and other similarly wicked challenges show that public sector needs to develop dynamic capabilities to shape societal responses and markets. Yet, public organisations are notoriously risk averse and focused on stability. Prof. Rainer Kattel argues that public organisations must find a sweet spot in balancing capabilities for agility and for stability.
In this panel discussion we will look at practical examples of building in-house capacity in the cases of Germany, Finland and Cyprus as well as taking a European perspective.
