What I have learnt from leading change programs during my career is the critical importance of people being engaged and wanting to participate.
Kate McKenzie, Telstra chief operations officer and Telstra Business Women’s Awards ambassador said the Telstra Awards judges praised Erma’s commitment to overcoming barriers to change and instilling a culture of innovation, accountability and high performance in the public sector. “She’s developed the Change@SouthAustralia program to spark cultural change in the public sector using innovative processes such as 90-day change management toolkits and the engagement of staff across multiple agencies to champion the changes.”
Other winners include online marketing expert Dr Karen Nelson-Field, from the University of South Australia’s Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, won the Business Owner Award while Jo Schneider, owner of DVE Business Solutions, was named Young Business Women’s Award winner.
