Using Wellbeing to Reimagine the Workforce of the Future

The acceleration of digital technologies, along with the need to embed wellbeing and other elements into a continuous learning approach, means that formal classroom learning is no longer the accepted practice. Capabilities such as co-design and community engagement are really important now, so much so that formal learning is no longer enough to provide the level of responsiveness and adaptation needed to meet the challenges of constant change. When embedding wellbeing into organisational culture, it is not enough to have this wellbeing be just for employees. For a successful implementation, the whole system, including the leaders of the organisation need …

End to End Improvements within Local Government

It was clear that there was need to improve the lives of the residents of the area, and to bring them up to modern times, but until 2017 that was not a priority of the council. Things changed in 2017 because of the arrival of Diane Hood as CEO, but also because “there were a lot of issues that were immediately obvious for all to see.” One of those issues, which reverberated throughout the whole community, was that there were KPIs and plans, but “just no measurements, very slow progress and often no outcomes.” Within the office of the council, …

Designing the Future Workforce through Reskilling and Upskilling

There is a commonly held belief, especially in business circles, that if you are not moving forwards then it is as if you are moving backwards. In other words, innovation, creativity and continuous improvements are necessary in order to succeed. As much as this might apply to business, it certainly applies to learning and development (L&D) too. In fact, L&D are sometimes the most necessary traits when it comes to moving forwards because both learning and development are underpinned by the latest trends and the most up-to-date information. If the goal of a business is to constantly move and improve, …

The Future of Digital Strategy in Queensland Government

Digital technology is evolving at a pace that is hard to keep up with; Innovation is accelerating as technologies such as robotics, cloud, big data, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to transform our everyday lives, as well as the Australian economy.

While this is important, it isn’t enough to create a true digital revolution. That is why the Queensland government is readying new long-term innovation and digital …

Cyber Culture & Awareness with CSCRC

While we need to adapt and respond quickly to cyber threats, when it comes to strengthening our own defences, we also need to think carefully about the ethical implications of modern technologies. It is a tricky and delicate balancing act. We do need to consider what should be done with technology, rather than just being swept up in what could be done, and the endless potential of the digital world we live in. Importantly, we also need to remember that trends and crystal ball gazing is vital but just getting the basics right is something that the government also needs …

Connecting with citizens through targeted and engaging communications

The way we all communicate has changed. The invention of the telephone was a genuine game-changer, but now nearly a century and a half later, communication takes many forms, particularly in the digital space, and government agencies need to be at the forefront of this revolution. In Australia, many of the federal agencies in particular have embraced social media and have re-created their digital strategies to match the expectations of their communities. This paper showcases examples from three of those agencies. The experience of social media is now fundamental to the creative, artistic and cultural industries within Australia and across …
