It goes without saying that government and public services have changed substantially in the past decade.

So too have the demands on public sector leaders, who are navigating their organisations through a period of unprecedented change required to meet rising demand and increased complexity of demand – all against a challenging backdrop of austerity, the COVID-19 crisis, demographic changes and what is arguably the big one – climate change.

Then, of course, there’s the impact of technology on the way we work, how organisations deliver services and how citizens expect to interact with those services.

This changing and challenging landscape raises questions around the skills leaders of public sector organisations need – and how these skills are shifting, which is what we talk about in this podcast.
