The MinTraq readiness lens for Telstra Group
MinTraq measures readiness in four areas. Here is how each one applies at Telstra Group.
Match your technical or commercial fundamentals to the service you would support, from mobile access to enterprise networks. Understand where that service depends on shared infrastructure.
Prepare to make sound trade-offs when a customer need, a network issue and limited resources compete for attention. Explain whom you would inform and what you would verify before acting.
For leadership roles, show how you set priorities across service reliability, customer experience and efficient delivery. Use an example of helping different teams act on a shared problem.
