Our ValuesThe public sector values have been developed to make it easier for us to work together by forming a culture and a vision that we will all share. They have been encapsulated in an introduction guide to help you embed them in your organisation.

The values reflect that as a public sector we are focussed on the ever changing needs of South Australians and the place of Government in helping to grow the State’s prosperity and wellbeing.

Change@SouthAustraliais designed to harness the potential of the public sector workforce to increase productivity and improve its connection with the community.

Every agency has its specialties and standout leaders. Change@SouthAustralia brings these leaders together to create a culture of collaboration, continual improvement and positive change across the entire organisation.

Our aim is to create a dynamic, responsive and productive workforce with strong and effective community partnerships.

Change@SouthAustralia runs several initiatives to achieve this goal, including:

• public sector values • 90-day change projects • high performance framework

Change@SouthAustraliais a catalyst for change.

It challenges cultural assumptions that act as barriers to performance improvement.

The Change@SouthAustralia team  works with public sector organisations to forge efficiency and productivity gains and effect positive cultural change.

Change@SouthAustralia operates a number of interconnected projects that are designed to achieve its vision of a dynamic and productive workforce.

The role of the program is to:

• build and support renewal from within public sector organisations • foster partnerships • collaborate to find new solutions • share the knowledge gained • give public sector employees a voice in defining and creating change • provide organisations with an effective change framework, tools and templates

The Change@SouthAustralia 90-day change projects have clear goals, improve productivity, engage with the community and benefit South Australians.

Project teams partner with business, community groups and other agencies to improve the lives of South Australians.

The 90-day timeframe keeps things moving and shows that positive change can happen quickly and

easily.

Barriers – real or perceived – are dissolved and people work together in an inventive environment to achieve their goals.

This creates a culture of continual improvement within the public sector.
