The public sector faces performance challenges: meeting high public expectations, navigating wicked problems, supporting an evolving workforce, adhering to public accountabilities, and working with processes cemented over decades. Yet, high performing organizations are found across the public sector.
Join IPAC Victoria to explore high performing public organizations and how their performance excellence can inspire others. Learn and engage in a dialogue on questions such as:
- How do we define organizational excellence in the public sector?
- How can performance excellence be achieved and maintained while navigating the organizational impacts of COVID-19?
- What lessons have been learned by public organizations that have overcome adversity and successfully improve their performance?
