The Surge Team

Established in late 2018 at the Canada School of Public Service, the Surge Team supports policy projects where quick action or breakthroughs are needed. We do not have ongoing files. Instead, the team collaborates on projects within the School and with partners across the federal public service on a time-limited basis.

In all of our work we emphasize clear problem definition and rigorous analysis. We often play the role of a neutral third party or challenge function to help to our partners identify desired outcomes and outputs. to achieve these outcomes, our team of policy professionals has a range of experiences, perspectives, skills, and toolsets that help us deliver on partners' needs, including deliverables such as policy briefs, decision documents, presentations, and facilitated sessions.



To learn more about us and our work reach out at surgesolutionsunit@csps-efpc.gc.ca or visit our GC Exchange Site for more details. Our GC Exchange site also contains a series of Learning Materials and Guiding Resources, which offer tips and lessons learned on core aspects of policy work.

How We Can Help

We meet our partners where they're at - whether it's collaborating on a project from day one or jumping in to help push a file over the finish line.
We offer a range of policy services, from problem diagnosis and environmental scans through to briefings for decision-makers and decision documents.

How We Work

Our approach is most effective with engaged and collaborative partners: we use regular touchpoints throughout the project to build off your expertise and respond to your needs.

As a team, we work in a series of short sprints and deep dives to improve the quality of products. Our work is iterative and collaborative, learning equally from failures and successes. Consulting with stakeholders is a critical part of how we do our work. Our projects are often non-linear, redefining problem statements and generating more research as we move forward and change course as needed.

Who We've Helped

Our projects touch on many policy areas, including public administration and machinery of government, Indigenous relations, national security, social policy, and innovation, among others.

The Surge Team contributes to learning, innovation and policy priorities across the Government of Canada. Our partners' desired outcome dictates the deliverable(s) we work towards.
