Training the Next Generation of Creative Bureaucrats and Public Leaders

Have civil servants acquired all the skills needed to tackle « wicked » problems such as climate change, housing crises or A.I tsunami? Certainly not. That’s why many schools and training providers try to reframe the way they prepare the next generation of public managers. How do they do that all over the world ? How to collectively build the relevant skills and competences in a changing context (polarisation, budget shrinking, environmental and geopolitical crisis) ? And what about mayors and elected officials ? What do we miss to generate greater impact, and build an international space dedicated to peer reflection and learning? During this fishbowl session, you will learn how trainers, researchers and practitioners join forces to change training paradigms (La Synchro), what does a completely new training policy look like (CNFPT), how public leaders are trained to digital skills (DINUM), how mayors go back to innovation schools, and many other inspiring training initiatives.
