How do decisions get made? Join the Government of Alberta’s Corey Hogan as he discusses “the formal and informal influences that shape decision making” - and how they’re relevant to our work as public administrators.

Political acumen is often seen as a skill needed exclusively by public servants who interact regularly with elected decisionmakers. But political acumen is a core skill that helps things get done in any work environment. It is a skill that becomes crucially important as you work your way up the ranks.
