Lea Diffey

"In the public service I am motivated to make a meaningful difference, which includes making thing straightforward for people to interact with government. But it can be difficult when embedded in the problems need to be solved to look beyond the resources and systems currently available even though it is critical to do so. The Practitioner Capability Framework provides a simple way for public servants to take the opportunity to consider current practices, to imagine what better might look like, and to evaluate the next steps they can take. I wish it had been available to me as a leader in the Queensland public sector."

"The Practitioner Capability Framework articulates how delivering effective Future Government - better public outcomes enabled by technology, data, and service modernisation - requires extensive leadership, trust building and people skills. As a comprehensive, flexible model it also emphasises that this change journey involves all in an organisation, and sets out the mindset required for success.Despite its ambitious scope this is a concise and practical tool for all seeking to evaluate and build transformation capacity."

“This framework reflects the realities of government transformation at both the cultural and system levels. It provides a clear, practical foundation that practitioners can use with confidence to lift capability across their organisations. As someone who focuses on the complexities of cultural change and the operating-model shifts required to realise value from technology investment, I can see the significant impact this will have as it’s adopted.”
