Dwp HEO policy advisor

I have an interview for a HEO policy advisor role in dwp and was wondering if anyone had any possible interview questions for:
• communicating and influencing
• delivering at pace
• making the effective decisions

Or strength based questions for
• adaptable
• challenger
• improver

...is it?

I really don't see what question that could be asked where that would/should pass for G7 let alone G6.

Nothing on understanding the audience and tailoring the communication to them. No stakeholder identification, no comms plan let alone strategy. Inherent to the example there is no resistence to the message or influencing that is needed.

In the context of an HEO role like this it might be ok, but even then I'd be expecting some of the above. For G7/G6 I'd be expecting an example with conflict, communicating a difficult message - in office attendance for a team, that a project needs to change direction to a senior stakeholder, selling a business case, raising something with TUS - that kinda thing.
