Study Visits
Governance International study visits take you to see how things are done differently elsewhere. This is not like reading case studies on the web – it’s about being there, talking to the staff, talking to the politicians, talking to the service users. Study visits give you a flavour of what it’s really like to bring about change.
And our study visits are inter-active. We set up the meetings and the documentation, so that you have a solid understanding of the issues and innovations you will see – but you supply the intelligent questioning and probing of the people involved, so that you get a real feel for what they have done, why it has worked (and often what didn’t work). The result: you get the answers you need to take home with you.
Study visits tailor-made to meet your needs
We can arrange tailor-made study visits for your organisation to many OECD countries, if you tell us the topic in which you are interested. For example, Governance International recently organised a study visit programme for the Council of Europe to London on HR issues and a study visit on community engagement to the Stuttgart region for a delegation from Bedford and the East of England region.
