Overview
The institutions which guide political life in Australia are complex. It is essential public sector managers understand the impact these institutions have on the policy work of public sector agencies. Successful public sector managers have a clear understanding of government structures, the context in which the public sector operates, and strategies to work creatively and collaboratively. Ensure you have the skills and knowledge to deliver public value and achieve positive outcomes.

Evolve with QUTeX
Develop your understanding of the environment in which public sector agencies operate with QUTeX’s Enterprise Leadership Program (ELP). Leading in the Government Context will teach you strategies to deliver public value through reform and the critical analyses of current frameworks.
Who should participate?
Leading in the Government Context upskills high performing enterprise leaders in the public sector and those entering the sector from non-government and private organisations. It will particularly benefit those wanting to demonstrate political acumen and develop their managerial skills to further their government impact.
