Q&A: Transport NSW director & group CIO

05.03.2011

I worked for the RTA for a number of years and transferred to TNSW in September last year and have been focused on developing the following:

A major focus has been recruiting staff that will make up the Strategic ICT function within Transport NSW. This entails the normal development of job descriptions for all of the roles; advertising; interviewing and, finally, offering of the roles.

I also meet regularly with the other department heads and I am focused on working with them to implement Corporate & Shared Services reform program.

Initially it is getting the right staff on board. These staff are here to develop strategic policies, programs and initiatives that are firstly acceptable, implementable and cost effective, and secondly supportable out of a Shared Service environment while continuing to deliver true business benefit.
