For many years workplace innovation has been a
fundamental concern of the private sector. The underlying driver
has been the need to seek efficiencies in the cost
of occupancy: capital cost, fit-out cost and operational cost.
But the private sector has also discovered a rich overlay to
this familiar story - that of harnessing workplace to play a
strategic role in supporting and indeed catalysing
organisational and cultural change. This has generated an entirely
new lexicon in the context of workplace -
engagement, empowerment, choice and diversity. At the same
time a rich vein of opportunity in the context of workplace
sustainability has been tapped.
Where does the public sector sit in this
regard? What are the opportunities and obligations of government to
be proactive, if not trend setting, in workplace innovation?
CoreNet Global offers a unique insight to the potential
for workplace innovation in the government sector with
highly-respected speakers from two organisations that have
pushed the boundaries:
Kevin will
speak on current programs and research within the US Government. He
is presenting Workshop
8on Tuesday morning 1
July in Sydney at the Sheraton on the Park at CoreNet's Sydney 2008
Summit. Kevin is a
consistently highly-rated speaker who has presented at many CoreNet
events globally.
Sue will review that firm's ground-breaking work with UK Government,
which has culminated in the UK Office of Government Commerce
publication "Working without Walls"
and its soon-to be-released sequel "Working beyond
Walls".
This Forum will provide a fascinating
insight into the drivers for change in government workplace, the
strategies that can be adopted to embrace them and the value
of the outcomes that they generate. How have these changes been
achieved? What has been the reaction of the people? What have been
the benefits? What will a "next generation" government
workplace look like?"
This Forum is CoreNet's first-ever event in Canberra. CoreNet is
progressively broadening its relationships with Commonwealth, State
and Local Government, and is interested in establishing a
Networking Group in Canberra to increase the sharing of
knowledge between CoreNet and Commonwealth Government Departments.
Please contact CoreNet's Region Director, Peter Chenoweth, if you
are interested in serving on the Networking Group Executive
Committee. The peer-elected Chair of that to-be-established
Committee will be offered an immediate seat on CoreNet's Region
Council.
The usual Non-Member registration fee of $88 has been waived for
this event. However, you still need to register please.
