NEXT STEPS
Continue the ‘good governance
work’ as a one to three year Privy Council Office (PCO) project led by an experienced
senior manager as a full time task, ensuring that the next phase:
- Comprises clear deliverables, milestones, monitoring of progress and results at least
twice yearly at a very senior level in PCO. Starting with the delivery of a proposed
action plan within three months that builds on the reformcraft project.
- Links explicitly both to federal decision makers through existing mechanisms
(deputy minister retreats; transition planning; ministerial planning) and to key
existing governance initiatives (e.g. the Canadian Centre for Management
Development’s (CCMD’s) research agenda and the ‘Renewing Governance
Project’).
- Demonstrates openness, inclusiveness and transparency (building on the network created
as part of the original reformcraft work) and ensures institutional memory through
the involvement of future public service leaders.
- Explicitly learns from what is happening (formally and informally) in the European Union
(EU) perhaps the fastest developing area of the evolution of governance in democratic
societies in the world, (e.g. through extended visits to the European Institute of Public
Administration (EIPA) in Maastricht).
