About the course
Public policy is increasingly dynamic and complex and is shaped by multiple economic, social, and political drivers.
The importance of public policy has been progressively elevated in recent years as corporates prioritise environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) commitments and governments seek to respond more rapidly to the needs of the community.
In view of these changes, it’s more important than ever for emerging leaders to build a working knowledge of public policy. With this new course, CEDA aims to support our members in building this capability in their organisations to advance our shared goal of innovative policy solutions for the greater good.
