An anonymous public service worker writes: Regular Australian public service staff are often innovating and proposing how to make our work more efficient. The great brakes on improving efficiency are the Senior Executive Service (SES) who are generalists moving positions too often, devoted to climbing the greasy pole and terrified of putting one foot wrong.

When I was asked if I would like to write a few words on the government’s response to the Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide, I hesitated. It’s personal and painful, so I wanted to wimp out. You know that game “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”? Choose an actor, connect them through a movie to another actor and with six steps you will have found Kevin. Do it the other way. A veteran knows six people. Within six steps that’s nearly 50,000 people touched by their loss.

If I had of realised this when I first started out my life would have been much easier – everywhere! I would have got more of what I wanted to achieve with much less angst. At home, at school, at work – did I say at home? Double down on that. In business we see negotiations as part of “deal making”, in the public sector we see it as a process step in procurement. When we run negotiation courses, we often use commercial examples and exercises.

If someone has sought to personally benefit, and I mean swimming pools and fast cars, then they should face the force of law. Eighteen people facing an APS review process seems disproportionate, especially when compared to robodebt shame. One commentator suggesting the CPRs be given the force of legislation so we can really go after them. Let’s not be punitive for transgressions of process, for people seeking to do a good job and deliver the outcomes but doing it poorly. We want more people to try.

The Albanese government has openly declared that the state of recruitment and retention in the Australian Defence Force and Department of Defence will remain in persistent crisis. It will take years to fix, assuming economic conditions remain buoyant and unemployment stays low. That’s the rub for the military’s latest budgetary tome on how many people it will need in the future, what they will do, but not necessarily where they will come from. The figures are as tectonic as always.

Most of us have to get stuff done – at least at work! For some, it’s simply done by managing a process. Start at the beginning, work through the process, end up with an outcome. For most who read this, life is more complicated, we have to deliver an outcome. However, too often, the process for reaching that outcome is unclear. Even when we settle on a process that seems clear, for some reason it doesn’t unfold as planned. How do you actually get stuff done?

Australia’s conspicuous firing of a US-issue Standard Missile-6 from HMAS Sydney in August has prompted a big order for the longer-range weapons, with the Albanese government coming good on a $7 billion purchase of off-the-shelf cruise missiles.
