This session explores the human face of transformation via a brief presentation and a question and answer panel discussion with strategic practice leads from three different perspectives: the public sector, corporate sector and customer experience.

Celebrate the International Year of Light and National Science Week 2015 with Assoc. Prof. Chris Fluke, as he hosts his fifth annual review of the State of the Universe. This year, the focus is on the visual Universe. No supercomputers. No radiotelescopes. Just good old fashioned astronomy with images. Taken from spacecraft. Which needed radio telescopes to collect the images on Earth. And computers to process them. Presented by Chris Fluke on 14 August 2015.

Full title: Leading the NDIS: Australia's greatest social reform in the 21st century. Meet the two people who imagined and then drove the creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). In this Leadership Dialogue from Swinburne Leadership Institute, Bruce Bonahady AM (NDIA Board Chair) and Dr Rhonda Galbally AO (NDIA Board member and Principal Member of NDIA's Independent Advisory Council) will discuss how they dreamt up, and then steered the NDIS through its many stages to become Australia's most significant social reform this century. The two reformers explain how they harnessed support for such an ambitious project. They discuss how they sustained the political goodwill of both major parties to create lasting change for the public good. From its strange inception, and through its many trials, the NDIS provides lessons in the art of reform and political persuasion. Recorded 23 July 2015.

Full title: Crowdsourced policymaking - The motivations, expectations and profile of the crowd. Crowdsourcing in policymaking is becoming a more common method for civic engagement and knowledge search, and it is used both by local and national governments. In crowdsourced policymaking, the government invites citizens to contribute to a policymaking process and asks them to share their ideas for the policy. For instance, several federal agencies in the United States have used crowdsourcing in policy reforms, Iceland applied crowdsourcing in its constitution reform process, and the House of Representatives in Brazil have used crowdsourcing in policy reforms.
