Our approach to training & workshops:

• is co-designed with you

• builds linkages between strategy and day to day processes

• uses tools and techniques to support sustainable change,

• can be delivered on-line or f2f, and

• makes learning a (more) enjoyable learning experience.

‘Under the hood’ of every governance framework are the day to day behaviours that either drive positive change or stall it.

This training, which is applicable to all staff, identifies and provides examples of behaviours that support and enable stronger governance and better decision making. Areas covered include:

• the ‘mutual learning’ approach to decision making

• dealing with complexity

• managing workplace toxicity, and

• building a psychologically safe workplace.

This training provides a foundational introduction for any level of staff in relation to risk management policy and practice (based on the relevant government risk management policies and the international standard AS ISO 31000:2018).

The course covers:

• key elements of risk management policies and frameworks

• key risk terms and the risk management process

• identifying and describing risks, controls and treatments

• applying organisational risk appetite and tolerances to decision making, and

• building and maintaining positive risk culture.

This training is based on applying an organisation’s risk management policy and framework (attendees will either have some understanding of risk management or have completed the introductory course). The training is applicable to any level of staff with responsibility for:

• leading teams and building positive risk culture

• planning, conducting and documenting risk assessments

• identifying and managing stakeholders and shared risks

• assessing the effectiveness of existing controls, and

• determining risk levels and whether risks can be accepted or further treatments applied.

This training provides participants with the tools and skills to identify shared risks and interdependencies with internal and external stakeholders. Areas considered include:

• dealing with increasing stakeholder complexity and decreasing transparency

• 3rd and 4th party contracts

• establishing a network approach to shared risk

• the three Cs - coordination, cooperation and collaboration, and

• creating and monitoring network agreements.

This training provides middle and senior managers (with an existing understanding of risk management) with opportunities to develop their capacity to:

• apply their organisation’s risk management framework (and risk appetite and risk tolerances) to day to day and strategic activities

• identify and collaboratively manage stakeholders and shared risks

• positively influence their organisation’s risk culture, and

• be a risk leader.

This training is for middle and senior level managers in public service organisations who are involved in designing and implementing governance or risk frameworks.

The training provides an overview of the key elements in public sector governance frameworks, using practical examples and case studies, with a focus on developing a practical understanding of risk management frameworks and how they can be designed and implemented to better enable day to day decision making.

Using case studies, the course considers:

• relevant legislative frameworks, policies and guidelines

• the international risk management standardAS ISO 31000:2018

• how the standard is applied to public sector jurisdictions, and

• linking governance to performance and organisational culture.
