Overview of the program Digital Readiness Self-Assessment Specialized learning streams Contact us FR


Welcome

The CSPS Digital Accelerator is a transformative learning experience designed for leaders and teams who want to experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centred and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions in a modern government era. It combines self-directed learning, hands-on workshops, specialized learning in technical fields, peer learning, coaching and mentoring in support of teams as they explore real business problems and prototype and test solutions with users.

The CSPS Digital Accelerator builds on the success of the first two cohorts of the CSPS Digital Academy’s Premium program. Spring 2021 will be the first time we try this approach with teams, and we are excited to work with our partners to make this new approach a success.

Learn more about the CSPS Digital Academy.

Overview of the program

The CSPS Digital Accelerator spans 14 weeks in total and uses the Service Design model as an anchor to the learning experience. It starts with the Discovery phase, where teams are introduced to problem framing and user research, and continues on to the Alpha phase, where teams go through specialized learning in design, data, development, devops and artificial intelligence, and start prototyping solution ideas. It ends with Demo Day when teams present their problem and their prototyped solution to a nationwide audience of public servants and government executives.

In addition to learning specific to teams, the CSPS Digital Accelerator offers learning in digital leadership for executives and managers, recognizing their key role in shaping the future of the public service.

Digital Readiness Self-Assessment Tool

Welcome to the Exploration phase of the CSPS Digital Accelerator! We want you to get the most from your learning experience. Completing this Digital Readiness Self-Assessment will help you identify gaps in your knowledge of the Government of Canada Digital Standards and how they can be applied in your work. It will also help us direct you to relevant learning resources you can do at your own pace.

The self-assessment focuses on five of the ten Digital Standards most closely aligned with the objectives of the CSPS Digital Accelerator. Future iterations will expand to include the remaining five Digital Standards and will incorporate changes based on user (your!) input.

Note: Although the CSPS Digital Accelerator targets teams, some of the learning is open to all employees.
