This video on demand (VOD) course is based on the popular three-day Policy Analysts’ ToolBox that Building Blocks has been offering for over 15 years to the public service. This video course is designed to introduce you to the concepts and key topics of policy development and is a precursor to the full instructor-led Policy course. It can be taken on its own or if you attend our three-day Policy course, it is included in the cost of your registration. This delivery method is innovative and breaks down the complexity of policy analysis with straight talk and effective real-world examples and tools that can be applied to your work, including how to identify and define problems, and develop options for the best solution.
