Message to the members of EUROSAI from the YES conference
23 novembre 2022
The Young EUROSAI (YES) conference took place in Stockholm on 12–15 September 2022. In the conference sessions, it was evident that leadership plays an important role in shaping an environment in which employees can experiment and test new ideas. Therefore, the conference participants call on the Heads of SAIs and other managers to consider our message.
The main theme of the conference was ‘experimental culture’. In a rapidly changing society, it is important for SAIs to seek new methods and ways of working in order to stay relevant. To do so, we need to try new things, to dare, to fail, to learn and to succeed, while remaining a trustworthy and independent actor.
The mindset and attitude of senior management is crucial to ensure conditions are in place for creativity and innovation. Management is responsible for allocating sufficient time and resources, and for forging a culture in which employees have the possibility to try out new ideas.
The YES conference calls upon the Heads of SAIs and other managers at SAIs to support the following to promote experimental culture:
- Create a working environment based on learning.
- Improve feedback culture to promote qualitative feedback.
- Allocate time for learning, exploring and brainstorming.
- Promote and support employees’ work-life balance.
- Be open to testing and implementing new tools and methods.
- Find ways for your SAI to contribute to sustainable development.
By supporting young employees and promoting experimental culture, our SAIs will benefit and build a foundation for success!
