The Royal Government of Bhutan and the RCSC have placed strong emphasis on efficient and citizen-centered public service delivery. As part of this effort, the Royal Institute of Management (RIM), in collaboration with PSDD, PMO and RCSC, has been working to strengthen the capacity of public service frontliners.

But how long can government continue to invest in training without knowing what happens after the classroom? At RIM, we believe training must go beyond attendance and completion—it must translate into application, improvement and results.

That is why we are shifting from traditional training approaches to an implementation-focused model: assessing what trainees actually apply, the challenges they face, and the difference it makes in their workplace.

We are also embracing the 80/20 principle, keeping theory and concepts to a minimum and putting greater emphasis on practical application.

Here’s a quick glimpse of our recent Service Frontliners Training, where success was measured not simply by attendance, but by implementation and impact.
