A more substantial and fundamental re-thinking of the public service HR and organisational management becomes crucial in times of cutbacks, in order to ensure an effective management of the skills and competencies under resource constraints. Important questions in this context are: What is the impact of the fiscal crisis on public administration, performance and reform? How to best use and manage scarcer resources to preserve capacity, productivity and morale? To what extent is it possible to do more with less? What instruments are there in the field of HR and organisational management to compensate for fewer resources? What leadership skills are required in times of cutbacks and restructuring?
