Achieve Design Excellence in Public Innovation
September 21 & 22 - October 5, 6 & 7 between 9:30-11:30 AM EST 

Introducing a 5-module virtual training program developed by the Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) and the Danish Design Centre 

More than ever, public institutions and entities need to be able to adapt and respond quickly to an ever changing and complex environment and context. Design is a systematic way of navigating within uncertainty and ambiguity and developing solutions that hit the needs of your target groups and users. Through a five module training program, you will be introduced to all the basic principles, perspectives and tools for applying design driven innovation within public institutions successfully.

The virtual training program is divided into three units.

Unit 1, consisting of the first two modules, will give you a thorough introduction to the theory and praxis of design driven public innovation and how to manage processes, people and teams in uncertainty and ambiguity.

Unit 2, third module, focuses on how you can use future scenarios as a design tool for strategizing.

Unit 3, consisting of the fourth and fifth modules, gives your perspectives and ideas in how to embed design driven innovation into your overall decision-making processes, governance models and learning praxis.
