Ministers and Officials: Building the relationship with political nous
IPANZ and ANZSOG are partnering to explore issues at the political administrative interface. The series - Ministers and officials: Getting the relationship right - kicked off last year with an event where Rt Hon Bill English, Wayne Eagleson, Peter Mersi and (now) Deputy Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni discussed what makes for good relationships between ministers and officials. A critical component identified in last year’s session was the need for officials to be politically savvy. But what is ‘political savvy’ or ‘political nous’ and how do you develop it? How can officials understand the politics without getting involved in the politics? This joint IPANZ/ANZSOG event will delve into this vital topic with a panel well versed in the relationship between politicians and officials.
