7 Pillars for Getting Projects Done in the Public Sector
Learn from the Harvard-trained and former Vice President of Ecuador. A proven and practical public policy framework.
STRUGGLING WITH PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION?
As a civil servant you know the impact your work can have. But you also know that bringing ideas into action is not easy!
Are you:
- Constantly short of time or resources?
- Dealing with overstretched teams pulled on too many priorities?
- Letting coordination problems steal your energy?
If so, you’re not alone! Implementing projects in the public sector requires knowledge and expertise. Without an adequate roadmap and guidance, the process can be overwhelming.
After 15 years working with the public sector, including as Minister and Acting Vice President, I’ve developed a unique framework that bridges the theory and the practice to get things done.
I’ve seen the transformative power that well-designed and implemented public policies can have, as a cabinet minister and acting Vice President in Ecuador, and as a consultant with various international organizations.
I specialized in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School. Since then I’ve been devoted to understanding the theory and finding ways to apply those valuable concepts in practice. My academic training and expertise have given me a unique perspective.
One of the problems of public policy training is how impractical it can be. What works in theory, using assumptions, is not always what works in practice, in the real world. Most programs focus on what to do, on the accumulation of knowledge. This course focuses on how to do it, using the available knowledge in practice.
Project implementation is already hard, learning about it shouldn’t be
This course was created for doers and changemakers who want to see the full impact of government in improving people’s lives and need a rapid approach to the basics of public policy.
With our program, you’ll learn the basic steps on how to plan, manage and implement public projects that improve people’s lives.
Through a simple framework, practical tools, and direct feedback you will navigate your own policy challenge and learn how to overcome the struggles of policy implementation. Learn to focus your time and energy to create the impact you want to see.
