FREE RANGE: ROVING THOUGHTS AND WACKY PLOTS

WHAT Y'ALL THINK?


PUBLIC SPHERE


~ Should the Governor-General have a greater role in the Commonwealth? If neither party can promote a legitimate candidate for leadership, should the G-G be able to step in to remove both candidates in line with electoral preferences (eg, Turnbull, Rudd) and call an early election?

~ KPIs for the Executive: should the government fail to meet basic infrastructure and productivity targets as well as net innovation and equity objectives, the government can be taken to an election for poor performance..

~ Longer electoral cycles in accord with the Electoral Act to five years subject to above..

~ Legislative limits on the power to call repeated inquiries or Commissions into the same subject matter (eg, indigenous welfare)


PRIVATE SPHERE

~ High potential conduits in large organisations: taking hipos outside the standing command-and-control, so that line managers and even business unit heads are directly answerable and responsible to the C-Suite team and even the CEO for hipo growth and development. Matrix-wise, the line manager does not have immediate organisational power over identified candidates. If hipos are seen to be treated differently, that is because they ARE..

~ Much as there is an equity investment premium, placing an underlined premium on growing high-potential strategists. Partnering with senior managers and in programmes, candidates are heavily invested in acquiring and developing strategic thought and a strategic outlook and marketing orientation for use of company resources. Big picture thinking is thereby prioritised.
