A conversation with Aaron Schull, Managing director and general counsel, Centre for International Governance Innovation.

Jutta Treviranus, Director, Inclusive Design Research Centre discusses  the centre's purpose, vision and mission of ensuring that emerging  technologies and their associated practices are inclusive of everyone.

Kaveh Afshar discusses his experience working in the Chief Data Office at Environment and Climate Change Canada, and how that team works toward solving data problems through computer science, math and statistics.

Christiana Cavazzoni, Associate Assistant Deputy Minister and Deputy Chief Information Officer from the Department of National Defence, reflects on her ten year career in the public service, and how innovation has evolved.

How can we map data literacy within the public service, and how can organizations analyze their data competencies to further their data  readiness and maturity?

In today's day and age, organizations must make experimentation an  integral part of business to keep pace with market leaders. But if it's  so vital, why aren't more organizations taking this approach? Nurturing curiosity, empowering every employee to spearhead change, and embracing failure can seem risky and inefficient.

Have you ever had an idea that has the potential to innovate the public  service, and wished you had a peer group to act as a sounding board in  developing and presenting it? On this episode, Tracey Snow, Acting  Manager with the Canada Revenue Agency, talks about her experience with  this.

In this episode, we sat down with Anil Arora, Chief Statistician of  Canada, to discuss transformation within the public service and its  impact on the way we use and interpret data.

In the digital sphere, the public service has come a long way in facilitating internal collaboration and adopting best practices from other governments and organizations. What skills and knowledge should we strive to increase, because as we discussed on a previous episode, what got us here isn't going to get us to the next level.

In an ideal organization, innovation can grow from the grassroots. Any person, at any level of the hierarchy, has the potential to shape the future – if their idea has potential. But is there room for meritocracy in a hierarchy?
