We operate in a complex, uncertain, and constantly evolving landscape. These challenges bring opportunities for growth and improvement. By understanding our environment, we can adopt a more strategic approach and continuously enhance our capabilities to deliver on our purpose.
Our operating environment is influenced by a number of factors that impact on our ability to deliver on our purpose. Many of these factors are out of our control.
Factors that impact our operating environment include:
- geographical spread, population demographics and the remoteness of communities we serve
- climate change and increasing natural disasters, impacting on our urban, regional and remote communities, and disaster response practices
- the APS reform agenda to build an integrity culture, work in genuine partnership with community, become a model employer and build the capability of staff
- workforce trends and capability of staff to ensure we have staff with the right skills working in the right place
- an evolving technology landscape which provides opportunities to better connect with our staff and communities.
