Events
Leadership and Strategy Series

The series aims to explore and consider
new and existing leadership beliefs and approaches, to enable
the Public Service to address the governance and policy challenges
ahead. It will promote wider sharing of leadership experiences
and the tacit leadership knowledge amongst public sector leaders,
and also pave the way for new insights on fresh approaches
needed for leadership. This will pave the way for us to better
distill, articulate and codify our key leadership principles,
practices and lessons.

Transformation Leadership: Australia's Networked Government
Experience
Dr
Peter Shergold
30 April 2007
Dr Peter Shergold has been Secretary of the Department of
the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C) in Australia since
February 2003. This position is similar to that of the Head
of Civil Service in Singapore. Under Dr Shergold's leadership,
the Australian Public Service (APS) has built up its capacity
to deal with complex, cross-cutting issues. The PM&C has
reoriented itself into an effective taskforce to coordinate
key projects with other Departments, promote innovative policy
solutions, and ensure effective service delivery. Some of
PM&C's recent projects include the review of Australia's
energy policy, access to water, emissions trading, and counter-terrorism.
PM&C has also taken on the role of monitoring policy delivery
across government agencies.
