\t\t<\/p>\nThe Mandarin Live: Future Ready Public Service lands in Western Australia at a defining moment. Structural reform, record infrastructure investment, an accelerating energy transition, AUKUS and the urgency of digital transformation have created a convergence of pressures unlike any other state in the country.<\/p>\n
Across two days, senior leaders, agency heads, and the private sector voices shaping the state\u2019s future cut straight to the practical question: what does it actually take to lead a future-ready WA public sector agency right now?<\/p>\n
Delegates leave with sharper clarity on where the WA public service is headed, stronger connections with the leaders navigating the same terrain and concrete actions they can implement from day one.<\/p>\n
Featuring The Hon. Roger Cook (Premier and Minister for State Development; Trade and Investment; Economic Diversification), Sharyn O\u2019Neill AO PSM (Commissioner, Public Sector Commission), Joann Wilkie (Under Treasurer, Department of Treasury and Finance), Bevan Warner (Ombudsman, Ombudsman Western Australia) and more.<\/p>\n
