Government priority setting exercises, such as the budget process, by nature must involve an opportunity for input from public servants combined with decision-making by politicians. Simple logistics limit the number of people that can actually witness the budget decision-making process, as well as the number of people who can benefit from the experience of “being in the room.” In this applied skills workshop participants will take part in a simulated Treasury Board as ministers preparing a budget that reflects government/popular priorities.
By the end of this workshop you will be able to:
- understand the nature of budget processes in government;
- distinguish between the various players and their roles;
- identify the prioritization challenges that decision makers typically face; and,
- recognize how you can better support decision makers when participating in the budget process in your daily work.
