opinion Just over two years ago, British government efficiency expert Sir Peter Gershon delivered his report on the Australian Government’s use of IT. Gershon’s finding was blunt — that the Australian Government had weak governance of IT. As a direct result of this weak governance, the Australian Government was inefficient in its use of IT, with what he called Business as Usual Expenditure (BAU) being too high and a poor record of success in using IT to transform and improve the machinery of government.
Gershon said that improvement would require a substantial and sustained change in culture, particularly at the top of the Australian Public Service.
