Centre of Government, Flanders, Belgium

The Center of Government in Flanders was preparing for a new vision, mission and strategy in order to become more efficient before the new government was installed.
The results were validated by the Prime Minister of the new Flanders Government. The results also formed the base for a restructuring where three separate departments chose to merge into one, led by the Secretary General of the Center of Government. He was very sure that Large Scale Co-creation was the way forward. The former leaders have been partly replaced by young potentials, which prompted new dynamics. Today the department achieves more with fewer people.
