Case Study: Queensland Department of Emergency Services strengthens leadership capability with DeakinCo.

Queensland Department of Emergency Services - Customer Case Study

Queensland Department of Emergency Services (QDES), which oversees all phases of emergency and disaster management in Australia, faced a major post-change challenge: it needed to dramatically shift the thinking, approach, and culture of its executive group and senior management team. To address this, QDES engaged DeakinCo. to create a strategic Executive Leadership Program.

DeakinCo. developed a bespoke, end-to-end leadership solution with two tiers: one focused on senior executives and team transformation, and another on senior managers and individual leadership development. The program combined retreats, feedback, benchmarking, interactive modules, workplace improvement projects, and accredited university pathways, helping refocus leadership across the organisation and generate strong interest in further study.
