Learning from a Leadership Development Programme for Senior Civil Servants in Northern Ireland.
Leading for the Future was a leadership development programme for leaders in the Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS). The programme was designed in the context of significant challenges in Northern Ireland such as the reshaping of government departments and preparing for an outcomes focused Programme for Government.
CES carried out an evaluation with Deputy Secretaries of the NICS to explore the difference the programme made to those who took part, and to generate learning for public services about the design and delivery of leadership development initiatives for senior public servants. This report presents the findings from the evaluation.
