I’ve spent over two decades working to improve public health outcomes, but I’ll never forget the day Holo-Org changed the game for the APS. Last year, we were struggling with a 68% capacity gap—my team was buried under endless reports, and I feared we’d never meet our APS Reform goals of a “Future-Ready Workforce.” I felt the pressure of knowing Australians depended on us, and I worried we were letting them down.
