How will we make progress?

The six goals direct a five-year program of work.

Change will happen through clear and specific activities and projects contained in a series of action plans. Each action plan will build on the previous and look at what is working and what can be improved. This will help us to adjust our course and design future action plans.

Queensland’s PSC will develop, implement and report on the success of the action plans. It will also lead some actions. This aligns to its responsibilities to guide and support the public sector or, as the Act describes it, to provide system leadership and stewardship.

The first action plan will focus on building on the public sector’s strengths. The PSC will partner with a few departments to take critical first steps in the direction of the six goals.

The first action plan will cover implementation of the strategy over the initial two years. It will not contain everything we need to do over the course of the five years, but it will push us forward in the right direction.

To develop subsequent action plans, the PSC will expand its partnership with public sector organisations to lead actions which will have collective benefits.

Ongoing data analysis, research and engagement with the public sector, stakeholders and executive government will be necessary to make sure the actions committed to will deliver worthwhile results. understand the unique requirements and standards of working in this sector.
