Ep 71 - A human, learning systems approach to The Construction Accord, with Judy Zhang
Beyond ConsultationShow Notes
Introducing Judy Zhang
How can we put relationships, learning and a systems-view at the centre of our work?
This question is what guides my kōrero with Construction Accord Director, Judy Zhang.
The Construction Accord is a shared commitment between government and industry to transform the construction sector. In 2022, the government set out a three-year action plan to tackle the sector's systemic challenges and build resilience across the industry.
With the temptation to sweep failures under the rug when working in the public sector, Judy shares how transformative it can be when we put learning at the heart of our work.
In today's episode you'll learn:
What happens when you put relationships and learning at the center of systems change.
Why evaluation needs to be everybody's job (not just the data people's)
How to shift from KPIs (focused on proving your progress) to meaningful measures (focused on learning).
