Management Consulting Services
In order to achieve results and meet expectations as outlined in the Government's new Management Framework, organizations are required to strengthen their management, decision making and priority setting practices to better respond to client needs and government wide priorities. The Government's Management Framework recently tabled by the president of the Treasury Board, delineates six government-wide priorities: Client-targeted Service Delivery; Government of Canada on Line; Improved Reporting to Parliament; Program Integrity; Development of an Exemplary Workplace; and Modern Comptrollership.
