Dawn Nicholson-O'Brien joined the Public Service of Canada 19 years ago and is originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she pursued her BA and MA at Dalhousie University. It has been her pleasure to serve as a Director-General, Policy, with DFO, as a DG with the Department of Justice, and in other assignments with Justice, CUIO, PCO, Finance and Health and Welfare. She is a self-described "professional gypsy" by choice.

In her current capacity, as the Executive Director of the Corporate Renewal and Knowledge Management Office, she is assisting the TBS in fulfilling its role as a management centre of excellence. This entails being a "seed-bed" for creating new knowledge networks and developmental approaches, both internal and external to the federal government. She is also beginning a part-time Ph.D. in knowledge innovation.

If the Public Service and its leaders are to provide a supportive working environment then Dawn believes the capacity for continuous individual and organizational self-renewal must be a key building-block. Knowledge management, creation and transfer are key to this development of capacity.
