| + | In June 2019, the Government of Canada launched a public consultation on a number of initiatives that focused on modernizing the Canadian regulatory system. The intent of the process was to address the regulatory issues by encouraging innovation and competitiveness. A 2016 directive to the Deputy Head of the Federal Departments also ensures that the Government of Canada is committed to devote a fixed percentage of program funds to experimentation that brings new approaches and creates an environment of measurement, evaluation and innovation in program and policy design and delivery. There is a shift in the approach government is taking when investing for the future. |

| + | In order to leverage these Government of Canada opportunities ROEB has laid out its 2019-2022 strategic plan that focuses on three key priorities including modernizing the program delivery system, transformation of compliance and enforcement, and achieving excellence in people and workplace. As a result, ROEB is investing in experimentation to advance business processes in the digital era. |

| + | Under this plan, ROEB is creating an environment that is conducive to culture shifts to support change and evolution. As well, connecting and sharing with our national Branch partners with a purpose of co-learning and co-creating through experimentation is one of the first steps. The original intent was to visit six cities (Burnaby, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, and Halifax); only Toronto and Montreal was visited – with a plan to visit the other cities in the future. |
| + | |
| + | The purpose of the workshops were the following: |
| + | # Share ROEB learnings on experimentation to date, along with information from our corporate partners regarding innovation and experimentation relating to regulatory excellence; |
| + | # Expose participants to experimentation methodology, problem framing and design approaches to problem solving; and |
| + | # Leverage the workshop as a “launch pad” to co-create with our national partners to solve wicked problems through continuous learning, support, and partnerships. |
