Lecture on Reinventing Global Public Service with Gordon Brown MP

Gordon Brown is the UN Special Envoy for Global Education, Distinguished Global Leader In Residence at NYU and Former British Prime Minister.

Monday, September 23
6:30pm - 8:30pm

Dramatic shifts in economic, political, social, and technological forces are creating complex challenges for policy makers around the world, but they also open promising opportunities for transformational change. As new parameters of the global public service arena continue to surface and evolve, governments, nonprofits, private sector companies, and international organizations need to craft collaborative, adaptable, and sustainable processes, solutions, and delivery mechanisms. How has public service been changing? What will it look like in the coming decades around the globe? What must we do now to prepare for emerging and unknown opportunities and challenges?
