Leadership of public sector organizations is one of Canada’s most important assets. Recognizing and building the cadre of public sector leaders is a critical ingredient in the success of our country and communities. Canada’s public sector organizations are increasingly at the forefront of leadership, willingly embracing new opportunities and taking innovative approaches, in pursuit of better outcomes. These high-profile initiatives offer leadership lessons not only within individual organizations, but across the broader public sector.
That’s why IPAC and Deloitte developed the Public Sector Leadership Awards program, which recognizes organizations that have demonstrated outstanding leadership by taking bold steps to improve Canada, through advancements in public policy and management.
These prestigious awards are designed to encourage and acknowledge outstanding leadership across all levels of government, as well as healthcare, educational and not-for-profit organizations. The leaders will have had vision, commitment and capacity to take bold action in the pursuit of better outcomes for citizens and a better Canada. Individuals and teams in these organizations will have demonstrated that innovation, collaboration and partnerships are no longer just buzz words, but rather critical tools for the business of government, transformation and meeting the evolving needs of all Canadians.
The awards bring together senior leaders from diverse public institutions across the country to learn from each other, create networks, inspire and be inspired. Recognizing and building the cadre of public sector leaders is a critical ingredient in the success of our country and communities.
