Accountability in Government: How does that work (or not)?
​
How do you achieve greater Accountability in Government? The words Accountability and Government, often in conjunction with Transparency, are regularly used together and expressed as something we not only desire but demand of our elected officials and the public service. How has that been working out so far? Increasingly we have seen legislation and policies to enhance Accountability or enforce it at all levels of government. We have seen Accountability legislation miss the mark and failed to deliver, and create undesirable behaviour in the process. The perceived or real absence of Accountability has toppled governments, ended the career of politicians and top civil servants alike and has been blamed for some of the greatest political/government failures in achieving results. So how CAN Accountability work in Government, or how SHOULD Accountability work in Government? In a non-partisan and unbiased manner, this session will dig deeper into this topic. We will use real stories and examples, drawn from local (Western Canadian provincial and municipal examples) and international experience, and share from a large body of research on workplace accountability. How accountable is your municipality/government, do you have, or can you develop a Culture of Accountability®? Let’s see how we’re doing and learn tools to raise the bar!
