WPP today announces partnerships with two of the leading global schools of government to train public sector leaders in integrated communications. The aim is to equip future government leaders to use the latest communications theory and practice to deliver public policy effectively.

In collaboration with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, WPP will deliver an Executive Education course in Singapore in October 2014. The participants are experienced civil servants from Singapore. WPP leaders will teach alongside highly experienced Lee Kuan Yew School faculty.

In December 2014, WPP will teach a module on Communications for Public Policy as part of the Masters in Public Policy Course at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford. The participants are future leaders from 45 countries.

The WPP Faculty draws on thought leaders from a range of communications disciplines in the UK, Singapore and other markets. It includes Dr Michelle Harrison, CEO, Government & Public Sector Practice; Marco Rimini, CEO, Mindshare Worldwide and Hari Ramanathan, Chief Strategy Officer, Y&R Asia.
