How do we empower the
next generation of female
leaders in government?

Counterpoint. Women in Government.

How does having more female representation in government
actually change the way policy is developed, and does it fulfil
its goal to achieve better quality outputs? 

 

Cultural diversity is
key to unlocking innovation.

Diversity involves more than gender. It extends to race, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, disability, culture, age and experience.

Learn from discussions between private sector experts and their government counterparts how a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion can unlock innovation.

  • Counterpoint Conversations

  • Our Counterpoint Conversations podcast series features female leaders from the private sector engaging with their government counterparts to explore how their experiences differ, and to determine how we can draw on the best practices from each area. 

    • Episode 1: Turning the language of science into the language of business

    • Dharmica Mistry and Alistair Gordon discuss business as a counterpoint to science and the barriers encountered by female leaders undertaking management and leadership activity in technical fields.


    • Episode 2: Diversity and Indigenous representation in AI

    • As Australia makes a diverse and inclusive effort to be a global leader in AI, we explore what the creation of ethical AI looks like and how responsible AI and science is being combined with Indigenous knowledge to solve complex problems.


    • Episode 3: The social aspects of cyber: beyond the 1s and 0s

    • The senior cohort of cyber in government is mainly made up of women. We discuss how this benefits cyber as a portfolio, and the counterpoints of how gender and diversity equip business and government to be more cyber resilient.


    • Episode 4: Transformative projects at scale and speed

    • This episode explores the projects that have been created within certain confines of government, that have gone on to be the foundation for significant national policies and outputs – and the cultural change required to deliver them.


    • Episode 5: On-shore diversity for in-depth capability

    • As the defence sector draws on different ideas to innovate and adapt to the changing nature of warfare, it increasingly relies on gamification and augmented reality.
