Policy in practice: from shifting priorities to lasting impact

10 Dec 2026Online

When priorities shift, policy teams often need to move quickly without sacrificing evidence, implementation discipline or long-term public value. 

Overview

How can teams adapt at pace while continuing to provide frank, robust advice and keeping delivery focused on outcomes? 

This webinar will explore how policy teams navigate new priorities, what enables successful implementation, and how they maintain the quality of advice in a changing environment. It will also consider how outcomes can be monitored and evaluated to determine whether a policy is achieving its intended purpose. 

Designed for policy professionals, program and service delivery teams, and public sector leaders, the session will convene policy leaders to draw on their experience to provide unique insights that can be applied across different portfolios and operating contexts. 

 

      Why attend?

      This webinar will provide insights to help you: 

      • respond quickly and effectively to new government priorities
      • identify the factors that support successful policy implementation
      • maintain high-quality policy advice as priorities change
      • assess whether a policy is achieving its intended outcomes. 

      Interactive Q&A: Following the panel discussion, there will be a dedicated Q&A segment where participants can put their questions directly to the panel.
