Given these twin pressures, how do public sector managers ensure that they manage their resources efficiently and effectively and ensure delivery of key outcomes? Exposure to globally prevalent concepts and ideas, methods and techniques, besides case studies and best practices is essential to ensure excellence in public sector.
