The Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) has released a long-term strategy aimed at ensuring it continues to “evolve and adapt” in line with public sector changes.
The School’s ANZSOG Strategy 2025 outlines its vision to “be a world-leading organisation for public sector education, research and knowledge exchange” across the two countries.
Dean and Chief Executive of ANZSOG, Professor Ken Smith (pictured) said a global loss of trust in Government and increasingly complex relationships with stakeholders meant it was even more important for the public sector to retain its core values of integrity and independence.
“By providing world-class education and research, creating public value and promoting the spirit of public service, ANZSOG is increasing the capability of public sector leaders to more effectively serve and support people and communities,” Professor Smith said.
He said ANZSOG’s “core offerings” were more relevant now than ever.
“We are working to update what we do to respond to rapid social, institutional and political change,” Professor Smith said.
“This strategy outlines the direction that ANZSOG is taking to ensure all our offerings continue to meet the needs of our owner governments and partner universities.”
Professor Smith said the Strategy included a review of ANZSOG education and international programs and the establishment of a First Peoples’ public sector community-of-practice across Australia and New Zealand.
