For South Africa, I envision a public service reform process aimed at strengthening and sustaining institutional capacity and performance to ensure a responsive and participatory public service that provides improved quality service and increased public value for its citizenry. I believe, this can be achieved through sound leadership development, effective policy development and implementation, improved people management and effective operations' management within state/public institutions. I will help you enhance your subject knowledge as well as apply it to current policy and public service management problems in order to ensure you have a concrete understanding of conceptual issues learned.
