Government & Public Sector

Doing more with less

Policy-makers are operating in a rapidly-changing world. Shifting demographics, urbanization and climate change are just a few of the long-term and systemic trends reshaping 21st century government.

And with finances tight, growth stalling and unemployment high, the legacy of the financial crisis continues to play out across borders.

Our Government & Public Sector practice aims to be the preferred partner in driving transformational change for governments around the world. In countries large and small, developed and emerging, we understand the issues and can provide you solutions that will have lasting impact.

We help governments facing a changing world.

Incorporating globalization into strategic planning

Globalization has had significant impact on governments, creating much greater interconnection between problems, ideas and solutions. A nation’s economic policy is no longer confined within its own borders but instead forms one link of a larger chain.

We understand these issues and can help you manage projects, taking into account the complex problems and opportunities of globalization.

Stimulating economic growth with entrepreneurs

Entrepreneurs are increasingly seen as crucial for sustainable economic recovery, and policy-makers have a key role to play to encourage this growth. Governments can do this by providing the right platform for growth through effective policies, regulation and incentives.

We encourage the work of entrepreneurs working in the government and public sector, and other areas, too. Our annual Ernst & Young World Entrepreneur of the Year award spotlights the best and brightest.
