Germany has a well-earned reputation as a manufacturing powerhouse. Even during times when the global economy is struggling, the country has managed to progress, or at least rebound back quickly. Perhaps this is why Australia has continued to seek strengthened ties with Germany. The two countries have a long history of trade. But both sides looked to ramp up activity with the creation in 2014 of an Australian-Germany Advisory Group, established to increase collaboration on innovation and commercialisation. More recently, last April, the Prime Minister’s Industry 4.0 Taskforce in Australia and the Platform Industrie 4.0 from Germany signed a cooperation agreement to enable the digitisation and link of manufacturing processes between the two countries. In this podcast, Holger Ernst, a professor of Otto Beisheim School of Management (WHU) in Germany and an academic director at WHU-University of Melbourne Business School Executive MBA program explains how digitisation is a central focus in Germany right now, because political and industrial leaders can see the new business opportunities that will come from it.

It has been an extraordinary start to the year for digital transformation in the public sector. Certainly the very real failings of the Centrelink automated debt recovery system have put an intense spotlight on service delivery issues. Of course, the first step toward recovery is recognising you have a problem. The Australian Government has not yet taken this first step. It says the debt recovery system is working as it should. But Centrelink is a problem, a big problem, for this government. To use transformation vernacular, the Centrelink problems are an "exemplar" of everything that’s bad about service design and delivery in government. The loudest critic of the Centrelink issue has been Paul Shetler, the former CEO of the Digital Transformation Office and former Australian Government Chief Digital Officer. We spoke to Mr Shetler about digital transformation issues in government.
