The MinTraq readiness lens for Qantas Group
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at Qantas Group.
Build depth in the discipline your role serves, then connect it to the relevant part of Qantas Group, such as flight operations, freight or loyalty. Familiarity with the differences between Qantas and Jetstar helps make examples more specific.
Prepare to explain your judgement when a service plan changes and several teams need accurate information. Safety should remain clear even when there is pressure to restore a customer journey quickly.
For leadership roles, show how you coordinate teams with different responsibilities and listen to people closest to the operation. Explain how you would turn a service improvement into a workable routine.
AI readiness is relevant to the group's technology investment, particularly where data can support customer service or operational planning. Be ready to discuss checking outputs, protecting customer information and keeping human judgement involved.
