Public Sector Leadership Development Centre

The Public Sector Leadership Centre (PSLC) is a multi-dimensional Conference Board of Canada leadership development initiative which assists individuals and organizations in meeting their senior executive learning development plans.

The PSLC network is made up of senior executives from Canadian federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal organizations focused on organizational transformation issues. They are at the Director General, Executive Director, or Senior Director level with functional responsibilities for modernization, program management, service delivery, corporate services, financial services and comptrollership, information technology, or human resources management.

What does the Public Sector Leadership Centre do?

  1. The PSLC provides leading insights on the issues senior officials deal with every day. Interactive meetings enable members to learn from leaders representing public sector organizations that are leading the charge on change and innovation. Speakers present practical approaches that are being used to build capacity and enhance organizational performance in their organizations in Canada as well as internationally. In addition to the latest issues, PSLC discussions will also focus on emerging developments and topics of concern to public sector executives in their daily lives, including: leadership; accountability; talent management; and horizontal collaboration in the public sector.
  2. The PSLC helps members do their jobs. Canadian public sector executives work in an environment that is constantly evolving. The Centre is a valuable leadership development forum that helps members manage rising expectations and meet emerging challenges in the following ways:
    • A professional development and learning continuum;
    • Access to best practices and insights from leading organizations in Canada, North America and beyond; and
    • In-depth discussions of proven approaches that members can use to enhance the performance of their own organizations.
  3. It’s a valuable networking opportunity. PSLC meetings are an opportunity to network with public sector leaders who are focused on management excellence. This diverse forum enables members to broaden their understanding of emerging organizational issues. During meetings, members exchange insights relating to current innovation and change strategies as well as the results that have been achieved in public and private sector organizations across Canada.
