Graduate Professional Development Workshop

Posted on by bamboowang

As part of Jackadder’s Graduate Development Program, our cohort of Digitial Officers (IT Graduates) recently participated in a Communicate with Influence workshop facilitated by Catie Kirk of ART Your Life.  

Communication is one of the most important leadership qualities to have. Communication moves information. Influence moves ideas into action, and produces an effect without the use of force or command. Becoming a strong communicator and influencer could be the key to getting your proposals, ideas, and projects over the line. 

The workshop was practical, fun and engaging with all participants enjoying the session and finding valuable to their personal and professional development.

Jackadder International undertakes business case review for All-of-Government Information System

Posted on by Lou Martini

Jackadder International was recently engaged by the Northern Territory Government’s Department of Corporate and Information Services to undertake an independent Gateway review of the business case for a new All-of-Government Information System.

The review was led by Jackadder International’s Director and Principal Consultant, Lou Martini, and involved a critical assessment of the business case, including the argument to proceed with an enterprise system and the estimated costs, timeframes, governance structure and resource requirements to implement the system. A detailed analysis of the risks and impacts associated with the recommended solution was also undertaken.

Drawing on precedent in other jurisdictions, and on his business and industry experience, the review was completed by Lou on time and within budget, to the full satisfaction of the project sponsor.
