Public Sector APS6 to EL1: Management Essentials Workshop

With a heightened focus on performance and results in the Australian Public Service, more is expected from emerging leaders in the APS6 to EL1 bands who often sit at the intersection of operations and strategy. In a turbulent operating environment that’s characterised by instability, moving goalposts and change, many managers struggle to implement strategy and effectively ‘manage for results.’

As an emerging leader, you must effectively bridge the gap between planning and action. You are also responsible for galvanising your teams to execute and implement a strategy. The 2015–16 APC State of the Service Review highlights APS employee engagement at just 45%, compared to the private sector at 72%. At the same time, while 89% of staff are experiencing change, only 47% are satisfied with how that change was communicated. As emerging leaders, you sit at the heart of this opportunity for efficiency gain.

This hands-on program is designed to give you the latest tools, techniques and practical frameworks to successfully manage for better results in today’s fast-changing world. The program will connect theory with practice and over the course of the training, you will build a personal action plan to apply when you return to work.
