Making the Change is making a difference

17 December 2009

1000 Navy members have already enthusiastically attended the “Making the Change” workshops, the first step in embedding the Signature Behaviours into Navy's culture.

One recent workshop conducted at HMAS Kuttabul in December 2009 was attended by Deputy Chief of Navy, Rear Admiral Davyd Thomas, AM, CSC.

“It was great to witness the process and now we need to drive this change through into the workplace”, RADM Thomas said. “It’s thought provoking and will make a difference once it gains traction. I think the 1000 mark is a fantastic effort and the positive results are starting to show”.

New Generation Navy MTC facilitator, CMDR Gary Brown was extremely pleased to see the commitment by all Navy personnel who have attended the workshops.

“Making the Change workshops are just a start in establishing the Navy’s Signature Behaviours into our everyday activities”, CMDR Brown said. “It’s tremendous how personnel from Able Seaman right through to Deputy Chief of Navy are embracing the change”.

The workshops have been conducted at numerous Defence locations around Australian over the last four months.
