Within Canadian governments, we offer the Modern Government Academy, an accelerator for building digital and public sector capabilities to support public sector modernization and transformation agendas. The Academy is a wide-ranging methodology and approach, backed by a deeply experienced team, that integrates learning and culture change into the flow of work.

By integrating into day-to-day tasks and aligning with key performance indicators, this allows public sector professionals to learn more effectively while delivering better outcomes for government.

The Academy helps public sector organizations derisk enterprise transformation by empowering employees to develop the functional, technical and leadership skills required to deliver transformational outcomes. Through mentorship, hands-on learning and real-world application, participants gain the capabilities needed to plan, lead and sustain digital change.
