Scottish Politics Explained: Navigating Public Service Reform

Scottish Politics Explained: Navigating Public Service Reform is your opportunity to understand the Scottish Government’s Public Service Reform Strategy and learn how to best position your organisation for it.

Through expert analysis and practical insight from those who are actively involved in the implementation of the strategy, Scottish Politics Explained will provide delegates with a clear and accessible guide to the challenges facing Scotland’s public services, and the impact reform will have across the public, private, and third sector. Designed for public affairs professionals, policy specialists, third sector organisations, public sector leaders and anyone seeking to engage more effectively with government decision-making, the event will demystify the complex world of public service reform.

Public Service Reform is the most pressing issue of the new Parliament. Faced with continuing pressure on public finances and rising demand for services, against a backdrop of technological advancements, ministers will once again be required to make difficult choices about how limited resources are allocated. For organisations seeking to understand how these decisions are made and the implications of them, a clear grasp of the future of Scotland’s public services has never been more important.

Who Should Attend

Scottish Politics Explained is a training day designed for everyone who has an interest in or wants to learn more about Scottish politics. Our delegates range from those who have never previously engaged with Parliament to experienced public affairs professionals and Parliamentary staff. If you work within Scottish politics, interact with the Parliament, or simply want to learn more about the new term, join us in December.
