IP3, under contract to the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) of the Government of India, conducted three, one-week courses on Best Practices in Innovation and Leadership in an Era of Increasing Competitiveness and Transparency. Seventy (70) participants were trained from national and state government agencies, including many from the prestigious India Administrative Services (IAS). The course covered five major themes: creating an entrepreneurial mindset for 21st government leadership, policies to promote investment and create jobs, utilizing public-private partnerships for infrastructure service delivery, linking fiscal accountability with service delivery outcomes and enhancing transparency, and accountability with key stakeholders through strategic communications planning. Presentations, group discussions, and site visits were utilized for the training methodologies. IP3 was responsible for all technical, administrative, and logistical requirements of the training.
The program received very positive marks from the participants, including 100% who stated they would recommend this training to a colleague.
Tommy White, Director of IP3 states, “It was a real pleasure to host such a prestigious delegation of government officials from India. The discussions were lively and informative, which makes for a very positive learning environment.
