Executive Briefing Series: Supporting High Performance Government: Leading Large Scale Change

Accenture and the Research Center for Leadership in Action of the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, New York University have developed a four breakfast series for public sector managers to discuss at some depth the multiple managerial and leadership challenges of implementing large scale change. The breakfast series builds from success stories of these kinds of management challenges. Each breakfast includes senior managers as lead discussants, and a moderator who will encourage lively conversation among the discussants and the others in the room. Each breakfast will be organized around a central strategic and managerial question of particular relevance to large scale change efforts.

To ensure a fruitful conversation, participation is limited to 35 - 50 participants.

The series will:

• Create a networking environment that encourages the exchange of ideas between senior managers of complex change programs and those emerging leaders charged with undertaking similar efforts
• Encourage a cadre of new leaders interested in undertaking such challenges, providing them with the insights, learning and the collegial support that will help sustain their work over time
• Promote further learning about how successful complex change initiatives are designed and managed, and capture this information in written reports
