Public Service all over the World is moving through an intriguing and even disorienting period. Governments have been launching major Public Service reforms over the years. How do we understand what is going on and move from immersion in short term events to parochial perspective so as to understand and recognize the underlying pattern and enduring trends.

One of the daunting challenges confronting any organization is that of improved performance. What is to be done in a particular case requires a greater willingness to question the conventional wisdom that have often been practiced in the past. It is not enough to repeat time honoured principle and ancient hallowed practice and protocol that yield no success. It will be fool hardy to repeat same unproductive process with no result when inspiration and changes are required.
