Stefanie Bradley

Partner in Charge, Enterprise Transformation, KPMG Australia

Transforming organisations to achieve better outcomes for the business, staff and clients has been a key motivator for Stefanie for over 15 years. “What drives me is making a difference with the work that we do, either employees having a better work experience or an organisation managing a change program successfully that has a downstream impact on product or service delivery,” she says.
Stefanie is the Partner in Charge for KPMG’s Enterprise Transformation practice (People & Change, Policy, Programs & Evaluation, Transformation & Program Management). Her experience covers organisational transformation, change management, strategic human resource consulting, finance and human resources business process re-engineering, and systems implementation projects in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
Stefanie joined KPMG in 2000 and left to work in the US, then returned to the firm in 2009. She became a partner in 2012. Clients with a focus on social justice are of particular interest, including police, corrections, child protection, and human services. “Fundamental to our success is our collaborative network and sharing knowledge and opportunities,” she says.
Stefanie has been associated with the ANZSEBP since 2014.
Stefanie spends her time outside work with her husband and two children, and indulging her love of blue grass music and movies. “My side passion is music and film. I have a Pink Floyd poster in my office!” she says.

Panel Discussion: Challenging Traditional Thinking – EB in Policing

The final report of the Strategic Review of Policing in England and Wales was released earlier in the year by the Police Foundation. Seen as a landmark report into the future of policing, the report proposes the most ambitious reform in a generation. Although based on evidence from England and Wales, the report offers police globally over 56 recommendations that relate to reforming culture, skills and training and organisational structure. The report says that policing needs to adopt a learning culture, so that police officers have better opportunities to develop professionally, so that professional standards are raised and so that the police can use the best evidence to achieve better outcomes for the public. One recommendation calls for evidence based policing units to be implemented across police services to support and create a culture of evidence and learning, but is this enough? The panel discuss this report, its recommendations relating to evidence based policing and the importance of evidence in challenging traditional thinking in the context of building and maintaining legitimacy in policing.
