AB  - The development of a case programme in the Canadian Centre for
Management Development, a new institution mandated to help strengthen
the Canadian public service, is examined. The programme marked the first
formal and extensive use of this type of development in government.
Building it taught some important lessons: for example, producing
bilingual editions of cases was more difficult than writing them. The
major challenges were quickly to create and operate the technologies of
case writing and production, establish an initial inventory of top
quality cases, and obtain institutional support for the case method. The
first two were fairly easy to do, but the latter has been only partly
successful. Work is continuing on driving the roots of the case method
deeply into the institution.
