Improving Contract & Supplier Management

The procurement industry has been greatly affected by COVID-19 and will continue to feel the aftershocks for a long time.

This paper follows the journeys of three public sector institutions from three jurisdictions as they navigated the pandemic. Each dealt with the crisis differently and each discovered that the crisis left them wanting, but maintaining good relationships and working with suppliers to get through the crisis served each of them well, and provides lessons to others.

Information & Data Management

All organisations collect data and use data. Some organisations have embraced technology more than others and have therefore been able to leverage their data better.

This paper presents two Australian examples and a Canadian perspective on how data can be used to create efficiencies and to change the operations of an organisation for the better. The lessons contained within these examples are relevant to any organisation …

Local government is the closest tier of government to the people, and to satisfy and provide for the communities they serve, councils need to have modern and efficient practices, and need to operate in well-functioning and effective ways.

Smart Mobility

Innovation is common in the transport sector, but never has it been needed as much as it was during the pandemic. Many passengers lost confidence in their public transport networks because of safety concerns when social distancing was required, so providers needed to develop creative solutions and ideas to win customers back. This paper brings together three managers from transport agencies in New Zealand and the UK and follows their journeys and innovations before, during, and after COVID-19 hit their jurisdictions. Though none of them were directly prepared for the pandemic, their careful thinking and creative ideas allowed them to …

HR Innovation

Before the pandemic struck, human resources practices in many public sector organisations were in need of change and modernisation. In some cases, catalysts like the bushfires or other factors inspired the change, but COVID-19 has really forced organisations to update and innovate their HR practices. This paper explores the innovative HR practices that three Australian public sector institutions across two states implemented before and during the pandemic. It also looks at how these changes can become permanently embedded.

Preparing Your Department for the Next Wave of Data Analytics - Interview with Dame Diane Robertson

While the public sector recognises the use of data as a strategic advantage, many Agencies and Departments; mired by legacy systems, limited economic surplus, security and privacy concerns, and inaccurate or incomplete records, struggle to make this a reality. Especially regarding 2020 and the shift to business now being increasingly conducted digitally, why is poor information management or lack of information management frameworks risky? “Poor information systems and poor management of information systems can impact organisations ability to provide services in a reliable and consistent manner.
