incorporated into processes effectively from both an operational and skillsbased point of view , the Department has ensured that staff remain focused on their end goals and aware of the mounting benefits throughout the journey . “ Keeping people focused on the endpoint , which in many instances was only six to eight months away , saw us through . You instill a common understanding about what we ’ re collectively working towards and what we ’ re trying to achieve , while inspiring them to believe that they are responsible , the creators , of the future state ,” says Wood . “ That really is what drives cultural change .”
Cybersecurity was also a priority of the Department due to the enormity of financial , operational and sensitive data that it accrues . In a report released by CompTIA this year , it was found that 60 % of IT professionals in Australia and New Zealand deem employees to be the biggest risk factor to keeping data safe , and Wood is with the majority .
