Series three – Solving the Capability Gap – episode one
Thanks for joining us as we kick off our third series of Trailblazing with CorbettPrice!
Our exciting new series explores critical dimensions of capability building across five insightful and thought-provoking episodes. This series is designed to help leaders instil continuous learning into their organisation’s DNA and develop high-performing workforces that are equipped and ready to embrace the future.
As the perfect start to our series on Solving the Capability Gap, Subho Banerjee, Deputy Commissioner of the Australian Public Service and Head of the APS Academy and Capability, joins Andy to discuss continuous learning.
Listen in as Subho provides his unique perspectives, drawing on his vast experience across the public and private sectors. In this episode, he explains what continuous learning looks like and outlines some of the fantastic learning opportunities he has experienced that have benefited his career. Subho also provides an overview of the components of the APS continuous learning model, the importance of building adaptability skills across all levels in the public sector, and how to overcome challenges he has seen in becoming a learning organisation.
