COVID-19 Response
Federal agencies face an unprecedented set of challenges as they respond to the unpredictable demands of the COVID-19 pandemic, from changing workloads and evolving mission requirements to navigating the complexities of the remote work environment. Censeo’s team of operational excellence experts has developed a set of resources to prepare public sector leaders to rapidly adjust and sustain mission delivery in the face of uncertainty.
White Paper: Public Sector Organizational Transformation in Response to COVID-19
Censeo Consulting Group undertook this white paper and created a diagnostic assessment tool to help inform and advance the U.S. Federal Government response to COVID-19 and future pandemics. This study facilitates best practice transfer among agencies at the federal, state, local, and international levels to inform strategic planning for current and potential crises.
By proactively planning for future crises, agencies will be prepared to meet the needs of stakeholders and can continue to deliver on their missions, even in the face of uncertainty.
