Ian Hornby

Ian has been involved in policy analysis, communications, and group facilitation/consultations work for more than 40 years, in federal politics, as a public servant within the Government of Canada, and latterly as a consultant. They have provided strategic advice to prime ministers, ministers, and senior officials. Ian is a leading policy consultant specializing in regulatory and legislative analysis, providing their services to many Canadian government departments, particularly to transportation, health, and immigration agencies. Their background and work straddle the two disciplines of policy analysis and communications. This combination makes them extremely adept at consultations and qualitative research, policy and options analysis, and then finally selling the results to management and communicating with Canadians. They continue to offer a wide range of practical training courses for public servants which parallel their fields of expertise. These areas include policy and diversity analysis, performance measurement and evaluation, and the mechanics of government. Ian has facilitated his courses in capital cities across Canada and in remote communities as far north as Wemindji and Cambridge Bay. Ian holds an MPA from Harvard University.
