THE Shape
of things
To ComE
Over the last 40 years, there is much to be proud of in
Australian public sector performance and its inextricable
link to economic and social reform. As we increasingly
place citizens as central to public sector concerns,
public servants must respond to the transformational
forces that change society’s expectations. Inevitably,
the shape of progress is ever evolving and public
sector success will be determined by its ability to
embrace reinvention, productivity and change
as societal objectives and goals are determined.
2
The best intentions are not sufficient to drive the
agenda for better public policy outcomes. It is the
commitment of the public sector to look within,
to transparently assess and improve capacity,
effectiveness, efficiency and innovation; to reach out
across and beyond government in order to encourage
collaboration and partnership; and to focus beyond
our shores from Asia to further afield for lessons,
linkages and the global shape of best practice that will
support successful policy-making and implementation.
Correspondingly, these are the three major themes
that will provide the key learning platforms at the
IPAA 2014 International Conference. In the spirit of
HG Wells ground breaking 1933 text “The Shape
of Things to Come”, it is our capacity for ideas, our
energy and our ability to work together to implement
ideas that is critical to shaping successful society.

Conference themes
Looking Within
Public administration should foster an internal environment that encourages the expression of ideas, learning
from past experiences, sharing knowledge, avoiding past mistakes and a culture of discipline. Examining
efficiency, effectiveness, leadership and encouraging innovation are important elements in promoting greater
trust and confidence in the transparency of the policy-making and implementation process.
Reaching Out
Good process necessitates the involvement of people across and outside of government. Consulting with the
right people at the right time is critical to taking what would otherwise be ‘good ideas’ and converting them
into ‘great ideas’.
Beyond Our Shores
The pressure on governments is intensifying rapidly, driven by global market forces and the increasing
public demand for performance and accountability. As Australia looks to develop its role in the Asian Century,
the IPAA 2014 International Conference will provide delegates with lessons, linkages and the global shape of
best practice from Asia and further afield.

Speakers
The IPAA 2014 International Conference will reaffirm the dynamic nature of Australia’s public administration.
Our nation’s most senior public sector leaders, international keynote speakers, public administration academics
and leading influential thinkers will join together to inform and stimulate debate that will not only harness
and energise emerging and current leadership but reinvigorate those at all levels of public administration.

Topics
Asia presents a wonderful diversity of philosophies and approaches
to life and government. From this diversity there are many things
we may learn from each other as public administrators and
policy professionals. How have some nations soared to dizzying
economic heights? How are others positioning themselves for the
opportunities they face?
• The role of policy in economic
and political development
This session explores the processes of policy development and
implementation within three of our important regional partners.
It is intended to provoke your thinking as to better or different ways

Recovering The Craft of Public Administration
Few have been given the privilege of observing the daily business of senior civil servants and Ministers at such close quarters as Prof. R.A.W. Rhodes. Along with his 2011
experience shadowing the most senior members of the UK Civil Service, Prof. Rhodes has had a distinguished career writing about public policy, politics and administration.
The resulting insights provide pause for reflection as to what the traditions of public service mean and how the public service is positioned to meet the Shape of Things to Come.

Garran Oration – The pre-eminent lecture on public policy and administration in Australia
Each year the IPAA invites an eminent Australian to address a matter of outstanding importance to public policy and administration in this respected oration. Today there are many
well supported initiatives underway attempting to improve the lives of Aboriginal Australians. Questions remain however as to whether the objectives can be attained and what
role exists in the future for the public service to support and sustain these efforts. Aboriginal leader, Mr Noel Pearson, whose record of leadership in this area is without peer, will
provide a significant statement on these and other questions in a timely address to IPAA2014.

Dancing Lessons:
How does the public sector successfully engage with others?
Theme: Reaching Out
Topics
The public sector of the future is certain to remain involved in joint
service delivery arrangements with not-for-profit and business
partners. It is highly likely that the level of engagement will only
increase. How well are we working together now? Are we still
treading awkwardly on each others’ toes?
• Merits and failures on developing
partnerships across industry
and the independent sector
Join leaders from all sectors to discuss what further lessons we all
need to learn to enhance joint service delivery.
• What can be learnt from business
and the independent sector?
• Building connections with
the independent sector
• Understanding different sectors
• Building relationships
• Working together

Connecting with Growing Markets and Communities across Asia
Theme: Beyond Our Shores
Topics
As Australia and the world prepares for the centre of economic
activity to shift to Asia we find ourselves still asking many questions
about how to successfully connect with the region. There are many
positive initiatives underway and we are learning constantly as
engagement increases. What are the lessons still to come?
• The Asian Century
Attend this session with an acknowledged expert on cooperation
in the region and a leading Australian practitioner whose insights
are certain to improve how your organisation next engages with
counterparts in our neighbourhood.
• Is the opportunity for connection
real or imagined?
• Opportunities for collaboration
• Current areas of collaboration

Theme: The Shape of Things to Come

It is possible that between them, our three presenters have

capacity to get across the big issues. Wouldn’t you like to cheat and
simply ask them the answers to questions about the future?
• Macro trends shaping the
environment in which you work
You’re in luck as they are also skilled communicators and with
particular emphasis upon the fields of science, security, and public

What do you believe
is the “Shape of
Things to Come”?
Australia is set to deal with two
great changes in the decades to come,
demographic change and the rise of
Asia. As public service professionals we
will be called upon to address Australia’s
ageing population and assist in
positioning the country for the global shift
in economic activity to Asia. A properly
functioning civil society underpinned by
sound public administration is key to
addressing both challenges and making
Australia a competitive and prosperous
place for all.

Partnership is not about government
saying ‘how about this?’ and community
stakeholders responding with ‘warmer’ or
‘colder’. Shaping the sort of community we
all want to live in requires true collaboration
- communities, governments, business
and not-for-profits owning ideas about our
future and driving their implementation.

The Australian economy is undergoing
a major structural change putting real
pressure on our old norms. How we
adapt and change now will determine our
economic fate for decades to come.
What will define the future of society
and public administration is increasingly
decentralised values contestation.

I think we’ve had seven years of
plenty and we’re about to have seven
lean years. One of the confidences of
plenty is you stop making hard decisions.
One of the consequences of scarcity is
you start to make much more difficult
decisions. That has big implications for
the public sector as there hasn’t been
a particularly high premium on difficult
policy analysis. How do you make the
case for really difficult reform? I think
there is going to be a lot more priority on
that over the next 10 years and for me
that is probably the biggest shift we will
see both in Australian policy making and
for Australian policy makers.
The fuel source for an advanced
economy is ideas. For Australia and the
OECD this fuel source is running low
as evidenced by productivity decline.
We desperately need to refuel our
economy with new ideas and fresh
innovation to ensure our children have
a prosperous and happy future.
Stefan Hajkowicz

John Daley

For the public sector to function
effectively and efficiently, we need to
be ‘fit for purpose’ in the context of our
operating environment. To do this, we
must have a sense of the possibilities
and probabilities we must deal with in the
future. Investing to ensure the right skills
are in place, in the right way, at
the right time and for the right cost is
critical for our success.
In the next 10 years, Australia’s
public services could profoundly
reposition the value they provide –
to governments, to citizens and to
the nation. But it will take courage,
imagination, and persistence.

“The Sir Walter Murdoch School
of Public Policy and International
Affairs builds on Murdoch University’s
strengths in applying world-class
research to real world problems. This
expertise combines to produce quality
graduates capable
of performing in
demanding work
environments.”
Professor Richard Higgott
Vice Chancellor

The Sir Walter Murdoch School of Public Policy and
International Affairs offers students a unique opportunity
to engage with big policy issues, develop high-level skills
and build career opportunities through professional
Masters degrees and other graduate programs.
Taking advantage of Murdoch University’s long
engagement with practical policy questions and deep
expertise on Australia, Asia and the Indian Ocean region,
the Sir Walter Murdoch School is an ambitious venture
in graduate education. Masters coursework degrees are
offered in Public Policy and Management, International
Affairs and Development Studies.
Focusing on national and international policy challenges,
the Sir Walter Murdoch School will appeal to highachieving, globally-aware professionals seeking to
enhance their career trajectory by developing disciplinary
expertise, professional skills and policy knowledge. Each
Masters degree concludes with a ‘capstone’ experience,
enabling students to apply their learning to a practical
issue through a policy case study project, a professional
internship, or a supervised research thesis.
The Sir Walter Murdoch School’s approach to significant
policy questions facing the region and the world is what
makes it unique and it is already the fastest growing
School of its kind in Australia. Students are taught
by leading academics and professional practitioners
from around the world in core disciplinary knowledge,
professional skills such as project and finance management
and policy electives, enabling them to become better
qualified or change or advance their career on the local or
world stage.

Garran Oration
The pre-eminent lecture on public policy and administration in Australia
Each year the IPAA invites an eminent Australian
to address a matter of outstanding importance to
public policy and administration in this respected
oration. In 2014 we have invited Mr Noel Pearson
to address the future role of the public service
in addressing the inequality that exists in many
Aboriginal communities around Australia.
Mr Pearson delivers thoughtful, compelling
presentations and in his delivery of the 2013
Gough Whitlam Oration, identified a source of
such inequality as being “..two problems with our
Constitution...non-recognition of Indigenous peoples
and racial discrimination”. Beyond this fundamental
problem how can the public service assist the
Aboriginal community in achieving a better future?”
Noel Pearson, Chairman of the Cape York Group
(CYG), will provide a significant statement on this
and other questions in his delivery of the IPAA’s
2014 Garran Oration on 30 October 2014.
Mr Pearson has been strongly involved in campaigning
for the rights of Cape York Aboriginal people and
played a pivotal role in the establishment of the
Cape York Land Council in 1990.
The Land Council was the first organisation established
by Cape York Aboriginal people to work with and fight
on behalf of Traditional Owner groups for the return of
their homelands. Successful outcomes from this include
the return of traditional lands known as Starcke and
more recently Silver Plains. He was elected Chairman
of the Cape York Land Council from 1996-1997, before
resigning. He still acts for the Land Council in an advisory
capacity from time to time.
Research
Day
The IPAA 2014 International Conference will be
followed directly by a Research Day on 31st October
2014. The Research Day will be held at the Sir Walter
Murdoch School of Public Policy and International

a key platform to bring together practitioners,
academics and researchers to share ideas for the
future of the public sector.
