Michael highlights the value of ADAPT’s national insights, peer connections, and curated vendor conversations.
4:19 Michael Harrison CIO Attorney-General's Department

Michael says the roundtables stand out for their diversity and openness, with participants from small agencies, large organisations, and the private sector contributing different viewpoints.

The facilitated discussions create a safe environment where leaders share experiences and suggestions that help him consider new ways to tackle shared challenges.

He also values ADAPT’s curated one-to-one vendor meetings, which lead to targeted, useful conversations rather than generic pitches.

Several have resulted in follow-ups that help him explore specific challenges within the department.

Michael regularly encourages colleagues and team members to attend, pointing to ADAPT’s national research and the team’s ability to connect him with peers facing similar issues even after the event.

 "This is my third ADAPT event, and what keeps me coming back is the national picture. It is hard to find research that brings together public sector, private sector, and state and territory perspectives."
