25.01.2022 ANZSOG is really good at bringing together the academic literature and people with lived experience. - Dan Craig, ANZSOG Executive Master of Public Administration student. Applications for 2020 are closing soon: https://www.anzsog.edu.au/masters

25.01.2022 Royal commissions can significantly shape the direction of public policy even without the power to make binding recommendations - but they can also miss opportunities to influence. The latest Research Brief from The Bridge, ANZSOG’s research translation project, explores how royal commissions exert policy influence. Using royal commissions into Aboriginal land rights in the Northern Territory, institutional responses to child sex abuse and the 2009 Victorian bushfires as examples, it shows how they can have a powerful and lasting effect.

24.01.2022 Public servants today are facing exceptional challenges, and ANZSOG’s Towards Strategic Leadership program has been updated to help you deal with them.

23.01.2022 How do non-partisan advisers in Ministers’ offices maintain their neutrality in a highly politicised environment? The latest Research Brief from The Bridge research translation series looks at how New Zealand’s Private Secretaries use their political nous to remain neutral and effective, and the lessons that can apply in Australia.

23.01.2022 By the time he joined the Department of Education & Early Childhood Development in Victoria in 2009, Paul Linossier had extensive leadership experience in the not-for-profit sector. But he thought there was much he could learn from, and contribute to, the public service. An ANZSOG Executive Master of Public Administration helped him to make the transition by giving him a strategic understanding of the public sector and helping him build a new network. Government funding of n...ot-for-profits is significant so understanding how government works, how policy is developed and how major systemwide change programs are initiated and led was going to improve my capability, he says. An EMPA taught me that many parts are required to realise the value the community is seeking and the value is not just a fiscal value it’s being able to improve lives and opportunities and strengthen community resilience.

22.01.2022 Adaptive leadership, digital transformation, political astuteness, systems thinking the COVID-19 crisis requires public managers with knowledge, creativity and confidence who are able to provide strategic advice to governments.

21.01.2022 Policy labs have emerged globally with a mission to support public policy development through innovative solutions. However, it is unclear to what extent policy labs provide new ways of addressing challenges. Our latest The Bridge Research Brief explores research on labs in 20 countries. It finds that labs can add to evaluation practice and design of public policy and programs.

09.01.2022 The ability to deliver messages that cut-through and convince people to act, whether in person or online, is a highly prized attribute.

In this engaging, live online workshop, held over two mornings, Dr Zina O’Leary will help you find your authentic style and share best practice communication strategies to make you more impactful and influential.

09.01.2022 This year’s NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day of Celebration) Week runs from November 8-15 and celebrates the achievements, history and culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This year’s theme is ‘Always Was, Always Will Be a recognition that the First Peoples of Australia have occupied and cared for the continent for 65,000 years. NAIDOC Week invites all Australians to acknowledge the long history of Australia and that the nation’s story did ...not begin with European contact. ANZSOG recognises the importance of acknowledging Indigenous history and culture, and the importance of incorporating Indigenous knowledge into the work of government, for the benefit of all Australians and New Zealanders. We are currently on our own journey to include Indigenous ways of knowing and being in our mission to lift the quality of public sector leadership in Australia and Aotearoa-New Zealand. This includes representation of Indigenous people at all levels of the public sector. These changes will take time, but at ANZSOG we hope our small contribution can help chart the way to a future where the many Australian Indigenous achievements are celebrated all-year-round.

02.01.2022 Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA) graduate Naomi Stephen-Smith, from New Zealand’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, oversees the Healthy Homes standards that cover the nearly 600,000 Aotearoa-New Zealand households who are renting, and aim to close the disparity in living standards between tenants and homeowners. She says that what she learnt during her EMPA and its focus on public value - has helped her manage her team during the challenging circumstances of New Zealand’s Stage Four lockdown. I was interested in how government policies have an impact and can make a difference. I have a strong social justice motivation and I want to make life better for people who are struggling and who haven’t had the same opportunities as me, she says.
