Effective policy provides organizations with a clear framework for decision-making, accountability, risk management, and performance. Today's policy professionals must design policies that are evidence-informed, equity-focused, adaptable, and responsive to emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence.

This seminar guides participants through the modern policy lifecycle—from issue identification and agenda setting to consultation, option analysis, decision-making, implementation planning, and evaluation. Participants will learn practical approaches to developing policies that are clear, effective, measurable, and aligned with organizational values, legal obligations, and strategic objectives.

Special emphasis is placed on digital transformation, AI governance, ethical decision-making, stakeholder engagement, and mitigating unintended consequences.

Participants will leave with a framework, tools, and templates to develop policies that drive results and remain relevant in a rapidly changing environment.
