A forum will be held on February 10 and 11 to garner reform ideas from all sectors to facilitate the efficient and effective delivery of public services, the Efficiency Unit says.

The one-and-a-half day forum, Changing the Face of Government - Making it Happen, will be attended by 1,200 directorate staff, senior executives and professionals from Government departments, public bodies and private companies.

Key public office holders will share their insights and experiences with the aim of improving the delivery of public services.

Chief Secretary for Administration Donald Tsang will open the conference. Four keynote speakers will then draw on their experiences in senior public service positions to talk about overcoming challenges in improving service delivery.

They are former British Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary Sir Robin Mountfield, former Australian Department of Finance & Administration Deputy Secretary Len Early, former Senior Policy Advisor on Reinventing the US Government Morley Winograd and Australia's former Treasurer of Victoria Alan Stockdale.

The main topics covered in the conference include managing people and organisations, financial management, harnessing and private sector involvement.

A wide range of local and overseas speakers from public and private sectors will join the four keynote speakers and elaborate on the conference themes
