Context:

The following presentation was produced by me, Raffaele Tardivo, for Mr Brian Cunningham, Chief

Executive Officer of the Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology, in the

State of South Australia in Australia.

I am his speech writer and I produce power point presentations to support his speeches.

The address was about CHANGE.

It was delivered to a conference of about 300 Vocational Education and Training providers and

practitioners on 26 June 2008.

The context is massive change in public policy and funding to meet looming skill shortages. The shortages

are being driven by structural changes in the economy; and mass exits from the workforce over the next

10 years as baby boomers reach retirement age.

The purpose was to engage the Vocational Education and Training Sector and sell the new policy direction

as important, necessary and positive – CHANGE IS GOOD!!!

My aim was to produce a presentation that both illustrated and supported his speech, and added value to

his message of change.
