Public Management Initiative
The tools to create positive social change
Our Public Management Initiative brings together government, business and social leaders to develop the collaborative approaches required to take on the complex and interrelated challenges affecting the public sector today.
Placing research and learning at the service of the public sector, this initiative offers executives the tools to promote and influence positive social change. The initiative’s research efforts and programs help executive participants to think with academic rigor and social awareness about public service and the impact that policies have on people, markets and institutions.
Programs.
We offer international development programs for senior executives in public administration. Our goal is to provide the education in policy leadership and public management needed to improve action programs and organizations.
Centers and chairs.
Smart cities.
In addition to producing the prestigious annual IESE Cities in Motion Index, IESE wants to contribute to the development of cities as increasingly sustainable, intelligent and positive environments for their citizens.
To do so, on the one hand, we connect a global network of experts in cities and private companies with local administrations around the world, in order to develop valuable ideas and innovative tools in the urban environment. On the other hand, we support public administrations in the organization, management and development of projects that involve public-private partnerships in the field of smart cities.
