About the role
This interview is about leading institutional change, not merely completing project activities. The panel wants to see that you can diagnose root causes, coordinate interdependent work, manage resistance and measure benefits for public services. Expect to explain how you adapt when formal progress reports do not match users' experience.
How to prepare
- Prepare a reform example that shows the original problem, your intervention and the observed change.
- Review how you manage dependencies, risks, decisions and benefits across workstreams.
- Think through how you would involve officers who must operate a redesigned process.
- Prepare an example where evidence caused you to change a programme plan.
- Check the official vacancy notice and recruiting body's site for current recruitment rules.
Common mistakes
- Presenting technology as the reform without addressing authority, incentives and process design.
- Counting workshops and documents as proof that public services improved.
- Treating resistance as disobedience instead of investigating practical concerns and incentives.
