Federal Shared Services: Leveraging a Best Practice to Improve Government

Coming in October – November 2023

The Shared Services Leadership Coalition and the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration of The George Washington University are pleased to announce an expanded version of last year’s successful pilot training program. 

This year’s program will offer a BASIC track teaching the fundamentals of how shared services work and how they are being implemented in the Federal environment; and an ADVANCED track for more experienced leaders wishing to learn more about how shared services are evolving in industry and how they can be leveraged more fully to drive modernization in government.  The courses will be taught by GW professors and leaders from industry and government who are experts in these areas.

Participants who complete the program will receive CPE credits from the Trachtenberg School, recently recognized as the #8 ranked public management and leadership program in the nation by US News and World Report.
