32. Learning in the Canadian Government (Taki Sarantakis)

For the past three years the Canadian Government has been transforming and modernizing the way Canadian public servants are learning in the workplace. I’m thrilled to have on this episode the individual leading this change to discuss learning in the government context and how to modernize a learning organization that serves a massive and diverse workforce. Taki Sarantakis is the President of the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS). The Canada School of Public Service leads the Canadian Government's enterprise-wide approach to learning by providing a common, standardized curriculum that supports public servants through key career transitions, ensuring that they are equipped to serve Canadians with excellence. Since Taki’s appointment to this role in 2018, he has transformed and modernized this learning organization. Among his many achievements, in 2011 he was awarded Canada's Public Service Award of Excellence in Public Policy, and in 2013 he was a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal.   Taki Sarantakis: https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/about_us/organizationalstructure/president-eng.aspx Twitter: https://twitter.com/TakiSarantakis Canada School of Public Service: https://www.csps-efpc.gc.ca/index-eng.aspx Twitter: https://twitter.com/School_GC
