Episode Synopsis

Are you interested in how effective our emergency services really are?
In this three-part conversation, Bruce Byatt AFSM — former senior executive and long-time leader in the sector — joins me to unpack what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to evolve.
We explore:
✅ Vision, Mission & Strategy — are they still fit for purpose?
✅ Resource-to-risk balance — are we getting it right?
✅ The political interface — interacting with ministers and their teams
✅ Is Response the King of PPRR? (Prevention, Preparedness, Response & Recovery)
✅ Organisational culture and operational safety
✅ The complex world of stakeholder and industrial relations
A thoughtful, candid look at how emergency services can better serve their communities — and what leadership in this space really takes.
Please enjoy Part 1. Part 2 and 3 will be released in the near future.
