ommissioned by APM's Enabling Change SIG Public Sector practitioner group in conjunction with APM Research, the report seeks to promote new understanding of change in public-sector organisations while triggering new discussions on how delivery can be improved.
Commenting on the importance of the research, Dr Andrew Schuster (PWC), research project lead, explained: “Every segment of the public
... [Show full abstract] sector appears to be undergoing enormous change in response to near cataclysmic shifts in technical, economic, social and political pressures. The pressures can be expected to increase in coming years. This study explores the distinctive nature of the public sector and how it enables to change, providing relevant and practical insights. I hope it will help organisations to cope with the current changes and to prepare for those in the future."
The research project considers criteria that contribute to the successful delivery of change in the public sector and was designed around two key concepts: organisational capability and accountability.
