The Irish Public Sector - Adjusting to Change

Mason Hayes & Curran were delighted to present a focused, half-day seminar for senior public servants which examined some recent positive initiatives that have produced effective change.

In a response to the current adjustments, and as a continuation of our invitation seminars to senior public servants, we assembled a series of speakers with public sector success stories, who discussed their ability to keep going in the midst of adversity. We hope the seminar demonstrated positively to delegates the important changes that must be made to survive now, and into the future. This seminar is part of the “Meet to Motivate” series at MH & C.
