The Public Practice

The Public Practice Podcast is about the craft of public innovation: the skills, the strategies, and the conditions that let real change happen.

    Ingredients for Mission-Oriented Government with Sarah Doyle

    The first interview of Season 3. Sarah Doyle reflects on her journey into the public sector and the insights gained across government, IIPP, and MaRS. The conversation explores what mission-oriented government looks like beyond the theory: how public institutions build the capacity to work across silos, collaborate with actors outside government, and operate in fast-moving, interconnected environments. Topics include concrete examples of mission-oriented approaches that have taken root, what helps them succeed, what continues to get in the way, and the role of storytelling as a core public sector capability that shapes what governments see as possible.
