How We Can Help How We Work Who We've Helped FAQ Contact Us



The Surge Team

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

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 GCXchange Site for more details. Our GCXchange site also contains a series of Learning Materials and 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 helping push a file over the finish line.
We offer a range of policy services, from research and analysis to engagement and facilitated sessions to synthesis and briefing documents for decision-makers.

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.
Working with partners1.png
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.

FAQ

How many projects does Surge normally take on?

Typically, 2-4 projects at any given time, with start and end-dates staggered.

What is the average duration of a project? How many analysts work on a project?

Projects usually last from 2 to 8 months. A project team will typically include 3-5 analysts. We do not 'loan out' analysts to departments, unlike the Free Agent Program.

How does the cost sharing approach to projects work?

CSPS and the partner department sign an MOU outlining costs, roles, timelines and deliverables. Costs are based on analysts' hourly wages and any additional O&M costs, if applicable (e.g., costs to hire an external speaker).

All partner projects are cost-shared - CSPS takes on a certain portion of the project costs (based on discussions and agreement with partners). Funds are collected through an Interdepartmental Settlement, typically from partners' O&M budgets.

How long does the MOU take to put in place?
We can normally draft and share an MOU quickly (1-2 weeks), after scope, timelines, and deliverables have been discussed and agreed upon.
