Building Organisational Agility
Thriving through change and shifting priorities in the APS
Duration: 1-day
In a public sector environment where government priorities can change overnight, teams need the agility to quickly adapt, re-engage, and deliver on new objectives. Building Organisational Agility equips APS 4-6 staff with the mindset and tools to maintain performance and motivation during significant change, even when the direction shifts suddenly.
This program builds resilience, supports rapid redeployment of skills, and strengthens collaboration across hybrid environments — helping your workforce stay productive and engaged when it matters most.
Insights
Policy professional development for non-policy practitioners
Duration: 1-day
Many APS roles influence policy outcomes, even if they aren’t formally “policy roles.” Insights builds the capability of non-policy practitioners to contribute effectively to policy development, implementation, and stakeholder engagement. Participants gain a stronger grasp of policy concepts, sharpen their ability to provide high-quality advice, and apply practical tools to improve decision-making and program outcomes.
This program helps agencies build cross-functional policy literacy, ensuring that more staff can engage meaningfully with policy processes and deliver better organisational results.
The Stretch Zone
Building confidence, ownership, and decision-making at your level
Duration: 1-day
Delegated authority is only effective when it’s used. The Stretch Zone develops APS 4-6 staff who confidently make decisions at their level, take ownership of outcomes, and step into opportunities without unnecessary escalation to management.
The program fosters a culture of accountability, reduces decision-making bottlenecks, and increases team capacity to operate effectively under pressure. The result: empowered employees who deliver results without over-reliance on senior oversight.
Project Management Introduction
Core concepts and tools for staff new to projects or supporting project teams
Duration: 1-day
Projects are central to delivering organisational outcomes, but not everyone working in or around projects has had formal training.
Project Management: A Practical Introduction gives staff the essential understanding they need to contribute effectively to projects from day one. In this one-day program, participants will explore the project lifecycle, roles, and tools, building confidence to support and engage in projects with greater clarity and purpose.
Project Management Success
Comprehensive project management skills for emerging and experienced practitioners
Duration: 2-days
Projects are becoming more complex and demanding, requiring staff who can manage competing priorities, stakeholders, and risks.
Project Management: Fast Track to Success provides a comprehensive, two-day learning experience for staff who want to strengthen their project management capability and deliver results with confidence.
The program covers the full project lifecycle, frameworks, and methodologies, with practical tools that participants can immediately apply to their own projects..
