Systems Map of Public Sector

Issues causing frustration, anxiety and tiredness

Many of my clients in some of the biggest Public Sector organisations talk to me about being overloaded, feeling frustrated, being anxious and tired. They want out.

They complain about excessive risk adverseness, needing to be on top of every tiny detail, and spending excessive time checking and editing other people's work.

Their frustration comes because, working this way precludes them from working strategically and doing the work they have dedicated their lives to, helping New Zealanders become stronger and more successful. They suffer because their big dreams remain undelivered and you and I suffer because their dreams could make our lives better.

In an attempt to make sense of the conditions my Public Sector clients find themselves in, I completed the attached systems map showing a typical situation.
