    +
<big><big>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.</big>
 +
<br>
 +
<br>
 +
<big>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. </big>
 +
<br>

<big>To learn more about us and our work reach out at surgesolutionsunit@csps-efpc.gc.ca or visit our [https://gcxgce.sharepoint.com/teams/1000611/ '''GCXchange Site'''] for more details. Our [https://gcxgce.sharepoint.com/teams/1000611/ GCXchange site] also contains a series of [https://gcxgce.sharepoint.com/teams/1000611/SitePages/Past-Surge-Projects.aspx '''Learning Materials'''] and [https://gcxgce.sharepoint.com/teams/1000611/SitePages/About-us.aspx '''Resources'''], which offer tips and lessons learned on core aspects of policy work.</big></big>

<big>The Surge Team works in short sprints and deep dives to improve the quality of products. Our work is iterative and collaborative, learning from failures and successes. We think carefully, quickly, and constantly. We ask questions throughout the life a project analysing thoroughly, consulting, collaborating, refining, and iterating. Our projects are often non-linear, redefining problem statements and generating more research as we move forward, but we work quickly and iteratively changing course as needed. Our approach is most effective with engaged and collaborative partners as we use these regular touchpoints throughout the project to build off your expertise and respond to your needs.</big>
