In November 2005, Stephen Jarislowsky of Montreal made a donation to the University of Ottawa that enabled the University to create the Jarislowsky Chair in Public Sector Management. Centering the Chair in Canada's capital is an appropriate place to establish a chair dedicated to studying and commenting on public sector management.
With the support of the School of Management and the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Chair is not restricted to any one facet of public management but encourages interdisciplinary work in a number of faculties at the University of Ottawa and elsewhere. As a result, a special effort is made to encourage work in all aspects of public management including governance, human resources, policy-making, service standards and the implementation of best practices.
While research forms the basis of the work of the Chair holder, efforts are also made to expand the range of executive courses and to encourage more sharing of best practices in Canada.
