About us

An initiative dedicated to the Brazilian public sector C-suite

NEXT C-LEVEL was born of an observation: the digital agenda of the Brazilian state tends to be demanded only of the technology area, when it also depends on those accountable for public policy. We exist to bring these leaderships together and give them a method to lead the transformation jointly.

Mission

To give the people who decide public policy the same confidence to decide technology.

The policy leader does not need to become a technologist. They need fluency in decision-making, and fluency can be taught.

Vision

A state in which technology answers to public policy, and not the other way round.

That every digital agenda in the Brazilian state has, alongside technology, the people accountable for the service the citizen receives.

Values

Six commitments that guide every delivery

These are not wall posters. They are the criteria we use to accept or decline a scope, and to decide what goes into a programme and what stays out.

VALUE 01

The citizen is the end client

Every technology decision is judged by what changes in the queue, the wait and the access.

VALUE 02

Technology is a means

When digital becomes the end, investment grows without the result showing.

VALUE 03

Evidence before opinion

Without a baseline, a discussion about AI is an exchange of personal preference.

VALUE 04

Capability installed

The programme ends when the organisation no longer needs us.

VALUE 05

Institutional discretion

What enters the room stays in the room. A published case is an anonymised case.

VALUE 06

Scale with consistency

Growing without losing the quality the first cohort received.

Where we work

Government, at every layer

Central and arm's-length administration, regulatory agencies, public authorities, state-owned enterprises and state governments. The sequence of the method is the same; the entry point, the vocabulary and the pace change with the type of organisation and the moment in its institutional cycle.

Based in Brasília, operating nationwide.

How we work

Four principles of execution

We begin by measuringNo recommendation before a baseline. The diagnostic is not a formality: it is what separates the programme from a well-presented opinion.
We work on the real caseEach participant arrives with a challenge from their own area and leaves with it structured. We do not use a generic case study when there is a real problem in the room.
Every module delivers an artefactA document, a prototype, a policy, a dashboard or a ritual in place. Something the leader can take into a meeting and defend.
We step asideThe goal is installed capability. We hand over facilitation, document the method and let the organisation carry on without us.
