A $5 million consulting contract for the Canberra Institute of Technology has been criticised by an expert in workplace innovation, who said its purpose was obscure and it showed little obvious benefit at a time of critical skill shortages.
The contract awarded to companies owned by "complexity and systems thinker" Patrick Hollingworth is the latest in a series of contracts totalling almost $8.5 million over the past five years, which the CIT board chair has previously said represented value for money.
