This is achieved by ensuring strategic responses and projects are delivered within expectations; collecting and analysing data and reporting on performance; and overseeing the development of transformation opportunities in line with the Department's strategic intent.

The Division's Business Intelligence team has responsibility for the Department's data strategy. This includes the continuous improvement of data displays for senior leadership to support understanding of performance, and data analysis to inform decision making related to the delivery of the Department's strategic intent and high-performing operations.

The Branch

The Business Intelligence (BI) team is a newly established function in the System Assurance directorate, with passionate and innovative team members that are eager to push boundaries and try new things. The team works closely with the broader SRT division to identify, design and create useful and sustainable data products for our corporate executive and senior leadership groups, to assist with strategic decision making and system level monitoring.
