Public Sector Certificate in Strategy & Transformation

Our flagship course in teaching the BeHOLISTIC™ Framework

Adaptability is a highly sought-after skill. According to LinkedIn's 2024 Most In-Demand Skills report, it is the 'skill of the moment.' Adaptability skills are especially pertinent in the public sector, as they help organisations remain resilient and ready to respond to future changes in their operating environment, ensuring ongoing stability for the citizens they serve.

As experts in change management and transformation programs for the public sector, we know that effectively adjusting an organisation's operating environment in response to change requires a holistic understanding of how the organisation operates and delivers products and services to its customers. You need an operating model that outlines how all components of your organisation, including people, technology, processes, and physical locations, should work together. Importantly, this model must also be aligned with your organisation's business model, which defines who your customers and stakeholders are, what value you offer, and how you deliver that value.

Our course is designed to simplify the complex, empowering participants to acquire the skills needed to create, interpret, and continually evolve an operating model. This fosters the development of strategic, innovative, analytical, and communication skills essential for advancing organisations.

Our Public Sector Certificate in Strategy & Transformation is a first-of-its-kind course, open to all public sector professionals. It teaches a complete overview of the CorbettPrice BeHOLISTIC™ Framework over six weeks. This proven framework has been used across numerous change and transformation programs for the public sector, delivering an impressive average ROI of 12X.

Gain confidence using the BeHOLISTIC™ Framework as you learn from real-world scenarios drawn on from our deep experiences with the Australian and New Zealand Public Sector. These practical applications are presented across formats, including eLearning modules, readings, and video content.

Participate in weekly two-hour intensives, covering critical strategy concepts and tools, including customer experience design, value chain analysis, business model innovation, balanced scorecards, and skills mapping.

Attend two 1:1 coaching sessions with our expert CorbettPrice instructors to enhance your learning experience and help you apply the skills you've learned in the certificate course.

Apply new knowledge and tools to a personal interest project, which will be assessed by our expert instructors, to successfully obtain the Public Sector Certificate.

Loved by learners across the Australian and New Zealand Public Sector

“One of the highlights of this course is the collaboration and learning through real-life case studies. This interactive approach created a dynamic learning environment where I could engage with peers and gain diverse perspectives on analysis and problem-solving.”

Coco Cashman
Strategy & Transformation Coordinator, Redlands City Council

“A highlight was being able to work with other public sector professionals in an environment where we could share our experiences in a really interactive format of the course. There were other people from other councils and public sector organisations, so it meant there were people with similar roles with whom we could share our experiences.”
