The document discusses skills needed for public administrators in the 21st century. It notes that fiscal constraints and rising stakeholder expectations are creating a "new normal" for the public sector. Key priorities identified include building leadership capacity, driving innovation in service delivery through citizen engagement and third parties, and focusing on stakeholder engagement and building trust. Effective change management, collaboration, and performance management are also emphasized. The document argues that public managers need more flexibility to function effectively within these constraints. It discusses the role of institutional entrepreneurs and tempered radicals in driving innovation within bureaucratic organizations and creating cultures that empower creativity.

Projects have evolved over time as organizations have changed and have become increasingly more complex. This increase in complexity necessitates an overarching structure or set of guidelines to which projects and other business functions must adhere. This framework – set of guidelines, procedures, and bylaws – is referred to as governance. When it comes to governance models, one size does not fit all. We believe that organizations must understand their own institutional behaviors when selecting and implementing a governance framework. Based upon our experience with clients, we have identified the keys to successful governance including: selecting the appropriate governance framework; addressing pitfalls; and incorporating key success factors that lead to successful governance outcomes.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

2. A “New Public Sector Norm” emerging for our Survey
2
Relative to the nine core questions, fiscal constraints and rising stakeholder expectations are
the “new norm”, and public sector executives need to respond by:
1. Human resource priorities are on Building leadership capacity and Driving change
management
2. Driving human resource capacity is being impeded by short term focus and lack of HR
tools
3. Policy and program priorities focus on Innovative Service delivery (citizen self-service
and engagement of third parties)
4. There appears to be a growing divide between academic and practitioner
communities
5. Advanced analytics and mobile communications are two powerful forces impacting
government in the coming years
6. Focusing on stakeholder engagement around programs / services and building trust
in public institutions are key priorities
7. More effective inter-jurisdictional collaboration is required, with enhanced roles for
municipalities and central government
8. Performance management frameworks are generally in place, but not effective enough
for management
9. Government needs to find better ways to function effectively despite fiscal constraints
3. A thought about organizations
Open data resides mostly within organizations.
We can think of organizations as structures that have
been created to handle recurrent problems in acceptable
ways.
Organizations modify individual behaviour.
Organizations create pathways, cultures and roadblocks
both internally and externally to achieve this result.
3
4. Old and New Organizations
The structure and rules of an organization
are dependent on the reasons for its
creation, its history, its resources, and so
forth.
They can tell us a lot about the
relationships of power and aptitude for
change that these organizations have.

5. What Affects Innovation in
Organizations?
Structure

Incentives
History
Resource availability
Culture
Leadership
Environment

The Theory
7. The practice
Government are often still
designed structurally on
the Weberian model.
Organizations are based
on hierarchy.
Hierarchy is based on
authority.
Roles are bound by the
office (job description).
7
10. Often open information and technology are
complements to institutional change not
substitutes.
Open data and technology are interesting
because they are (relatively) very cheap
and straightforward.
Open data and technology are not a
substitute for change management
planning. 10
12. Four outcomes are key to create lasting
change:
Examples (I see it): Provide an image of
success
Assessment (I need it): how will change
improve the problem
Practice (I do it): begin change
Support (I live it): build a community
supportive of the change
12
13. Policy Roles for Public Managers
Decentralization and devolution: increased
responsibility of Public Managers
Emergence of network/collaborative government
practices built on participatory and consultative
processes: governance is often bottom-up
Increased customer-orientation in public sector
governance: strengthen the agencies delivering
the services (hence the Public Managers
overseeing delivery)
14. Policy Functions
Not all
managers take
up all policy
functions
Policy functions
do not occur in
a sequence, but
are discrete and
interrelated.
14
Policy
Formulation
Decision
Making
Policy
Implementation
Policy
Evaluation
Agenda
Setting
15. Policy Perspectives
These perspectives must
be taken into account
simultaneously by Public
Managers.
These perspectives guide
the managers’ activity.
The relative significance of
the dimensions differs
across levels of
government and policy
sectors.
15
17. Potential Roles of Public Managers
Agenda Setting “Gatekeeper”
Sustaining attention to a given policy issue
Identifying emerging issues from programs they
manage
Attention to less visible issues
Policy
Formulation
Preemptive and proactive as supposed to reactive
Further development of issues passing through
policy agenda
Decision Making Decision-makers themselves
Conducting policy analysis
Making policy recommendation
Policy
Implementation
Responsible for Implementation strategies and
measures
Securing resources for successful implementation
Policy Evaluation Evaluators themselves
Collection of information/data for evaluation
Assisting external evaluators
18. Tempered Radicals
Tempered radicals are people who work
and seek advancement within mainstream
organizations and professions, but also
want to change them.
Tempered because:
Dislike the incongruities between their values
and those of the organizations;
Are forced to tone down their action.
19. Institutional Entrepreneurs
To qualify as institutional entrepreneurs,
individuals must break with existing rules
and practices associated with the
dominant institutional logic(s) and
institutionalize the alternative rules,
practices or logics they are championing
(Battilana 2006; Garud and Karnøe 2001).
20. Tempered radicals and institutional
entrepreneurs are not reproducing the
rules and behaviors of existing structures.
They are in fact rewriting rules while
generating new resources to develop the
innovation ecology to further assist them in
this change process.
21. Internal Forces Driving Change
The devolution of responsibilities,
client-centered approaches, and
strong focus on satisfaction- and
result-based assessments typical of
the most recent phase of New
Public Management increasingly
make public managers answerable
for crafting rather than just
implementing policy choices
22. ANSWERING THE CALL
The most efficient way to answer the
seemingly conflicting demands of better
client-centred approaches and shrinking
budgets is to foster innovative problem-
solving within the public administration by
triggering untapped capabilities through
innovation ecologies and the spread of
institutional entrepreneurship.
