Knowledge exchange

Personalise

Knowledge exchange has increasingly become a key focus of activity for universities and public service partners. We know the creation of research alone will not change practice and a range of other mechanisms are important in supporting individuals and organisations to transfer expertise, skills and learning between academia and the public service community. Whether you're looking to develop your own capacities or transform your organisation, we can put together a solution for you that draws on our innovative research in a way that reflects the opportunities or challenges you may face.

Executive and professional education

From short courses to fully customised learning programs, we combine our research findings with academic teaching skills to deliver exceptional executive and professional education. These courses are suitable for public sector, private sector and not-for-profit organisations.

Consultancy and customised solutions

Whatever your specific learning or research needs in relation to public policy and public service, we have a wealth of research and industry experts who can help you develop a solution that fits your needs and budget.

The PSRG also works with an expert network of both national and international associates to ensure they have the best range of skill sets for any task at hand.The PSRG’s inter-disciplinary, inter-methodological approach sets it apart from other research groups of its kind, with Dickinson highlighting its relevance given the changing face of modern public service.
