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.
