  1. New Challenges in Public Administration Training Strategies – Polish Perspective Professor Jacek Czaputowicz Director of the National School of Public Administration (KSAP) in Poland DISPA Meeting, Budapest 19-20th May 2011

  2. Plan of the Presentation • Trends in PA and comparison of governance models • Systematization of kinds of knowledge in Public Administration • Challenges for the PA in Poland • Challenges of training for civil servants

  3. Trends in the OECD Countries

  4. A Comparison of Governance Models Criteria Weberian Model of PA New Public Management New Public Governance State organization Unitary Hierarchy Regulatory Market Plural and fragmented Network Structure of management Normative base Administrative law Contracts Conventions Management style Bureaucratic – administering Managerial – managing Partnership – consulting Character of relation Domination and subordination Competition and co-operation Equality and interdependence Orientation of activity Procedures Results Needs Consolidation of order Aim of activity Provoking change Building social trust

  5. DIMENSIONS OF KNOWLEDGE GLOBAL NARROW BROAD LOCAL based on Ch. Pollitt (2010:89) Training of Top Civil Servants

  6. Challenges for PA in Poland Hierarchical, Weberian System divided into departments, low horizontal mobility Perception of problems from the departamental and not state perspective Strong divide between the political level and the civil servants

  7. Challenges for PA in Poland • Low level of civic trust • Too few people occupied with strategic policy making • Not sufficiently interested in opinions and initiatives coming from outside • Officials unwilling to share information (tacit knowledge), incapable of team work and external cooperation

  8. Challenges for Training in Poland PA programmes are within faculties of Law and Administration Programs are law oriented, not management oriented Not to petrify traditional model of bureacracy ‘Unlearning’ of old values and behaviour and learning new set of values and behaviour 8

  9. Subject of Training: Skills, not academic knowledge Managerial skills, coordination, cooperation, consensus building Ledership, leading others, taking risks, achieving results, organisational goals, how to implement change Written and oral communication, how to write governmental papers Teamwork, persuade others, inclusiveness, not individual interests Maintaining core values, client/citizen orientation, focus on weak part of society, ethics, empathy

  10. Where Are We Going? The idiosincratic approach: each country follows its own individual path of development in terms of PA, according to its defined political priorities, as well as historical and cultural factors Theisomorphoic approach: all countries follow the same path of development in terms of PA. Our administrations become similar.
