[LINK] Restructuring the Australian Government Through IT

[Tom Worthington]

Susan Monkley, Group Manager, Technology Solutions Group, Department of 
Education, will speak on "Merging IT in government (and de-merging)" at 
the Australian Computer Society in Canberra, 5pm, 4th February 2014:

"Susan will discuss the transformation journey of the Department of 
Education’s IT operations including the challenges specific to IT 
operations in federal government.

Machinery of Government changes significantly impact the operations of 
government business. Department’s may merge, new department’s may be 
created, and functions can be transferred from one agency to another. 
People working in government IT operations are impacted in two key ways. 
Firstly they have a significant role supporting business areas and 
people move between departments. Secondly, Machinery of Government 
changes sometimes result in significant changes to the size, structure, 
client base and nature of the IT operation. The Department of Education 
has recent experience of such a change and Susan will discuss the 
approaches and outcomes of managing transformational change."
