Customised Executive Education programs

We can develop and deliver customised learning programs to respond directly to your organisation's requirements, beginning with a learning needs diagnosis to identify the course content and delivery modes which will be of greatest benefit to your staff.

Ideal for groups of middle managers and senior executive staff from government, as well as those working with government and in not-for-profit and commercial organisations, our programs can be delivered in an intensive, intellectually-demanding and highly interactive format. Programs can be delivered as residential, campus-based or workplace-based options.

Our teaching combines the latest concepts with active learning using case studies and your own organisation’s priority issues. We will encourage an environment where participants' collective expertise is combined to generate actionable solutions.

Our areas of expertise

Our research agenda is informed by global and regional developments, particularly those associated with the Asian Century, and how country specific and regional public policy will need to adapt and change. Within this overarching focus, we concentrate on the two key areas:

1. Governance and regulation

Designing better governing institutions and improving policy-making and policy performance. For example:

  • Fitness for purpose public sector reform
  • Building innovation capacity: creating better mechanisms for public sector performance management
  • Public financial management

2. Democracy and politics

Using different types of evidence and new approaches, and managing competing perspectives. For example:

  • Leading with legitimacy and accountability
  • User-centered policy design and implementation
  • Identifying and developing new workforce capabilities
