Achieve Design Excellence in Public Innovation
May 2, 9, 16 & 31, 2022 between 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM EST 

Introducing a 4-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 an IPAC exclusive four module training program, you will be introduced to all the basic principles, perspectives and tools for applying design driven innovation within public institutions.

The virtual training program is divided into two 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 you can use future scenarios as design tools for strategizing. Model Live Stream dates: May 2 & 9, 2022.

Unit 2, consisting of the third and fourth modules, gives you perspectives and ideas in how to embed design driven innovation into your overall decision-making processes, management and governance models. Model Live Stream dates: May 16 & 31, 2022.
