CSIRO changes to bring science ‘closer to people, industry and the planet’
CSIRO chief executive, Megan Clark, has developed new operating arrangements at the organisation aimed at making it easier to do business with CSIRO.
Dr Clark said the changes were designed to make it easier for staff to deliver science that makes a difference to people, industry and the planet.
From July 2014, CSIRO will have three lines of business: National Facilities and Collections; Impact Science – including a new Flagship portfolio; and Services – including education, publishing, infrastructure technologies, SME engagement and CSIRO Futures.
Dr Clark said Dave Williams will be executive director National Facilities and Collections and will retain responsibility for the Information Management and Technology function.
Maurice Moloney will be executive director Agribusiness, Food and Health, responsible for the Agricultural Productivity, Food and Nutrition and Biosecurity Flagships. Dr Moloney will be responsible for the Black Mountain Precinct strategy.
Anita Hill will be executive director Manufacturing, Productivity and Services, responsible for the Digital Productivity and Services and Future Manufacturing Flagships, as well as the Services line of business. Dr Hill will be responsible for the Clayton and Parkville Precinct strategies and she will also chair the Health, Safety and Environment Committee.
Andrew Johnson will be executive director for Environment responsible for the Oceans and Atmosphere and Land and Water Flagships. Dr Johnson is also responsible for coordinating CSIRO’s Northern Australia strategy. He is responsible for the Ecosystems Science Precinct in Brisbane and retains oversight of the Indigenous Engagement Strategy.
Alex Wonhas will be executive director for Energy and Resources responsible for the Minerals Flagship and Energy Flagship and the National Resources Science Precinct in Perth.
Dr Clark said these executive directors will join chief finance officer Hazel Bennett, and deputy chief executive for Science, Strategy and People, Craig Roy, as the executive team of the CSIRO from July 1.
The process for filling the Flagship director, deputy Flagship (science) director, services director, and general manager for business development and commercial roles is now underway, Dr Clark said.
