Today we are living in a multi-polar world—a world in which many of the old “rules” no longer apply. Public service organisations everywhere are facing significant challenges and seemingly overwhelming complexities that arise from the rapidly changing global economy. Public service leaders are trying to develop new ways of addressing the challenges and seizing the opportunities of the multi-polar world. Leveraging Accenture’s depth of experience with public service organisations around the world, the Accenture Institute for Public Service Value has conducted extensive research and analysis into the effects of the multi-polar world on government. The insights are included in this new report, which articulates the key trends affecting governments—namely, global political realignment, environmental degradation, the movement of people and demographic changes. It also explores five key challenges facing government in the multi-polar world: - Developing national talent
- Managing the movement of people and money
- Enhancing social infrastructure
- Protecting national security
- Ensuring environmental sustainability
Ultimately, the report makes it clear that to thrive in the multi-polar world, governments cannot simply do more with existing tools and methods. Rather, they need to focus public service policy and delivery not only on traditional service transactions, but also on the broader concern of creating public value. And they need to collaborate like never before with other governments, as well as with businesses and with citizens. |
