Overview
Effective responses to complex problems such as vulnerable children, place-based disadvantage and sustainable energy solutions require an holistic understanding of the problem and co-ordinated responses from across government, industry and the community sector.
Through challenging real-world case studies, develop the mindsets, models and tools of a switched-on policy operator to take coherent action in these complex multi-actor environments.
