Asa part of my series called “Five Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Started My Consulting Business,” I had the pleasure of interviewing Christopher Rannard. He’s an experienced ICT Project Manager and passionate, energetic, and people-focused company director who finds unparalleled value in working with people across personal, professional, or volunteer capacities.

Christopher has extensive experience delivering some of the most complex and sensitive federal government ICT reforms and programs in recent times, including legalisation and access to medicinal cannabis in Australia, the Australian Government’s response to COVID-19 (data and report capability), and delivery of recommendations in response to the recommendations made by the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission.

He has become a trusted and respected leader in his industry who puts people at the center of everything he does. Currently, he’s the Director of Aventious, a trusted business and IT delivery partner in Australia.

The Federal Labour Government’s (the Government) agenda, which focuses on building a more capable Australian Public Service (APS) while reducing reliance on external providers, has set the stage for significant changes in the private sector and contracting market. As an Australian Small to Medium Enterprise (SME) operating within this space, Aventious, along with its partners in the industry, has witnessed firsthand the impacts of this agenda on the SME sector’s ability to grow, add value, contribute to this agenda while aiding in the delivery of critical timely and quality outcomes that impact the Australian public.

Today, we will explore the implications of the Government’s agenda concerning the APS workforce, the events within the sector that have contributed to that agenda being committed, the effect on Australian SMEs, and the impact on the Government’s ability to deliver important change for the benefit of the Australian public.
