[English]Policy Community Conference 2023: The Rise of Adaptive Policymaking

Programme de l'événement

le 23 et 24 novembre | de 10h30 – 16h00 (HE)

L’état actuel de l’élaboration de politiques au gouvernement du Canada peut être qualifié de dynamique, d’imprévisible et de mouvementé, ce qui exige que les spécialistes des politiques fassent preuve d’une grande capacité d’adaptation.

Dans le cadre de la cinquième édition de la Conférence de la Communauté des politiques, on traitera de trois sujets clés liés à l’élaboration de politiques adaptatives : les leçons tirées de transformations de politiques majeures, les efforts de réconciliation et la conception de politiques systémiques. L’événement offrira aux spécialistes des politiques de l’ensemble de la fonction publique fédérale et d’ailleurs une occasion précieuse de se réunir, de communiquer leur expérience et d’obtenir des conseils.Les participantes et les participants acquerront de nouvelles connaissances sur la manière de réévaluer et d’ajuster en permanence les politiques gouvernementales en fonction de nouvelles variables afin d’améliorer la conception et la mise en œuvre des politiques.
