Video Case Study: Dumped Right In It
This story is about a professional auditor who accidentally discovers on an old file some information which could point to a potential health problem for the community. But making this information public could be very inconvenient for the Government she works for, and it could be embarrassing for her organisation. Her professional judgement tells her that she should take a broad view of the risks, 'in the public interest'.
Video Case Study: Make No Bones
This little story is about a Project Manager who has to choose between 'getting the job done', on the one hand, and fairness to other legitimate interests on the other. How far should a public sector manager go in satisfying the Minister’s need to 'get the job done'. And how far should he or she try to accommodate other competing interests - for example community consultation, heritage and environment values, and abiding by the letter, or even the spirit, of the law...?
Video Case Study: Blink And You Miss It
This little story is about a small-town Council which wants to make it big in the tourism and hospitality industry, soon. We take a look behind the scenes at a situation where everyone has — apparently — a conflict of interests, real or imagined, and where the integrity of the policy process is at risk as a result. And then there is bad faith, bias, and failure of due process, not to mention the lack of real consultation, and pre-emptive conduct by the decisionmaker. ...Which just shows that this is a work of fiction....
Video Case Study: Damned If You Do
This little story is about a manager who lets things go from bad to worse. Or does he?
How much of what happens is Terry’s fault, and how much is the situation a result of an organisational culture already in trouble?
Video Case Study: Private Sale
James Malley has always been careful about his career moves, and the last transfer to Sydney was no exception. He even got the Department to agree that he would not be disadvantaged by the cost of living in Sydney — not many of his colleagues managed that! After some resistance, the family is even talking about staying. Money is tight, of course, because they have to do without Jennifer's income, but they're managing ok.
