Conversation Series: Helping public sector leaders and employees come together in an intimate, thought provoking environment.

Get up close and personal with Department of Transport Director General Reece Waldock for a 40 minute presentation about his philosophy on leadership, his experience of leading the Department of Transport and the challenges ahead for transport in Western Australia. You will have the opportunity to engage in an unplugged Q & A session followed by a networking morning tea.

Under Reece’s direction the Department of Transport is a leading example of consultation and innovation.
