Managing IT in the Public Sector

Course Leaders:
Prof Michael Vitale

This course is aimed at managers who are involved in decisions regarding significant investments in Information Technology in the public sector. Such managers would typically be members of a work group, project team, IT steering committee, or IT governance board. The decisions regard budgeting for IT, IT investment selection and prioritisation, and IT project management.

The course focuses on the creation and maintenance of durable working relationships that support the effective use of information technology to achieve organisational goals. Thus the participation of colleagues from a single organisation is likely to be particularly beneficial, and is encouraged.

Conference

Annual Conference 2008

ANZSOG's major annual conference this year focuses on federalism and inter-governmental relations. With a new Federal government in Australia keen to drive the COAG reform agenda and four historic COAG meetings in one year, the need to achieve more effective partnerships at a Federal-state level in particular and relations between all tiers of government in general has never been more pronounced.
