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.
This module is part of the Enterprise Leadership series. Learn more
