Public Service Transformed: With Professor Peter Shergold
Professor Peter Shergold has in his remarks since retiring from the Public Service called for a transformation in how the public service views itself and the services it delivers. He calls for new ways of working that leverage public servants as knowledge workers rather than service deliverers. The session will feature Peter’s latest thinking in this area.
A workshop engaging the audience will allow presenters to build their ideas with crowd sourced knowledge before a final wrap up in which Peter reflects upon the ideas and experience of the session.
Professor Shergold is the most dynamic and engaging presenter on the issues of public sector reform and redesign in Australia. The opportunity to hear him present in a wide-ranging seminar such as this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
Topics
•Service co-design and co-creation
•Four different perspectives on the future shape of the public service
•Policy challenges facing the public service
