CSPS Transitions of Government
Annotated Reading List: Transitions of Government
At the request of the Privy Council Office, the Canada School of the Public Service (CSPS) has identified recommended readings related to the management of transitions of government. This list supplements Deputy Minister and senior leader learning events to be held by CSPS in 2019.
The selected readings examine both political and public service perspectives on transition and draw on experiences from past transitions within Canada and abroad. In the case of longer pieces, shorter excerpts focusing on aspects most relevant to public servants are provided.
For ease of reference, readings have been organized by: the federal experience; other Canadian/provincial experiences; and, international experience.

The Regulatory Career Pathway - Competencies Framework for Career Progression in Regulation Development is a tool designed to help federal regulatory professionals plan for their career in the area of regulation development by identifying strengths and areas for improvement against an objective set of behavioural and technical competencies specific for professional working in the field of regulation development. It is meant to provide employees and managers with a framework from which to engage in a meaningful conversation about the employee's career progression.
