Civil Service Awards Webinars - watch on-demand
Do you want to learn more about some of the best practices taking place across the Civil Service and how this is helping us to transform public sector delivery?
For the first time ever, we brought the stories from the Civil Service Awards finalists to life with a series of presentations revealing the secrets to what made these finalists stand out from the crowd!
These webinars gave the inside scoop into the programmes, teams, and individuals who were the favourites amongst the judges. We heard directly from the finalists about their work and achievements; with some lessons and actions to take away to apply to our own work.
The webinars will shortly be available for for you to watch on-demand in your own time. Details of how to access them will be shared via the CS Weekly Newsletter and internal intranets.
