How to: A good practice guide for whole of government work
This good practice guide is derived from the MAC Report: Connecting Government: Whole of Government Responses to Australia’s Priority Challenges, Good Practice Guides and gives practical advice on working whole of government. This information can be used to work through whole of government projects, from determining how to structure a group working across departments to managing emergency responses. It will also be useful for those already working on whole of government initiatives.
- Does it make business sense (should my project be whole of government)?
- What structure works best (how should agencies work together)?
- Creating a culture for success:
- What can agencies do?
- What skills do I need?
- How will information be managed?
- What budget and accountability framework works best?
- How do I manage connections outside the APS?
- Hints for managing emergency responses.
- Making an interdepartmental committee (IDC) work effectively.
- What if there’s an international angle?
