children, not children must be ready for school.”
Pasi Sahlberg
Implications for Organisational Strategy
• How do we want our students to be learning in the future?
• How will they be behaving, interacting, connecting with others?
• What skills and qualities do our students need to develop for success, now and into the future?
• What does this mean for staff members and school leaders and the way they work and connect?
• How do we best connect with our broader community and with other schools?
• What contributions are we making beyond our schools?
Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle
Success:
When everyone in the organisation can say why we do what we do – the purpose
Successful leaders:. . . all think, act and communicate from the inside.
The cultural change journey

Why are we doing it?
Purpose:- Why we need our
particular strategic directions and why each is important?
How are we doing it?
People- How do we develop
capabilities of our people to bring about transformation?
Processes- How do we do it and how
will we know?
What does it look like?
Practices- What are our newly
embedded practices and how are they integrated and in sync with our purpose?
Product- What is achieved and how
do we know?
5 Ps – clearly articulate the why, how & what of strategic directions

Planning, Implementing and Reporting
• Developing strong, visible and empowering leadership at all levels of the organisation.
• Developing a clear vision that is aligned to the organisation’s strategic directions in all business units, stages or faculties and providing clarity through a strong strategic narrative about the organisation, where it has come from and where it is going.
Leadership:
• Building effective, confident and skilled teams that work collaboratively and have the trust and cooperation of each member.
• Engaging leaders who focus their people on challenging and meaningful work with clear expectations, providing timely feedback on performance, recognition, opportunities for career advancement and coaching through appropriate performance management systems.
Teamwork:
• Establishing a culture and systems that allow each member to contribute and see that their input is valued and informs decision making.
• Ensuring there is employee voice through the organisation, for reinforcing and challenging views, between function units and externally, and that people are seen as central to the solution.
• Developing and implementing highly effective and streamlined systems to deliver educational services to schools.
Culture & Systems:
• Developing the leadership team to create confidence and credibility in education by being exemplars of high ethical and performance standards.
• Ensuring there is organisational integrity – the values on the wall are reflected in day to day behaviours.
Professional Integrity:
“The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are
not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker
and the destination”.
John Schaar - Political Theorist
