    What role will you play in the future of local government?

    With a complex and continuously evolving sector, it is now more than ever essential that local government is prepared for the future. New services, new skills, local and global impacts and the ever-changing digital landscape have fundamentally changed expectations of both the nature of and delivery of services.

    This program has been developed to:

    • Enhance complex and adaptive thinking capabilities
    • Increase capabilities to generate solutions to complex adaptive problems
    • Challenge assumptions and perspectives
    • Equip executive leaders to navigate rapidly changing and evolving environments.

    The Executive Leaders Program is for accomplished Executives (Chief Executive Officers, Directors and General Managers) in both regional and metropolitan councils who are seeking to expand their thinking and leadership impact.

  • Negotiation Skills

    • 25 Sep 2019
    • 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
    • Norman Waterhouse Lawyers, Level 11, 431 King William Street, Adelaide
    Registration is closed

    Negotiation is a key skill for leaders and professionals, but few people have had any formal training in it. In the workplace, negotiations range from short in length to those that take place over the course of months or years, from those that prioritise outcomes to those that prioritise relationships, from the very competitive to the very collaborative. 

    This program is designed to help professionals gain an insight into their current negotiation behaviours and preferences, to understand the fundamental framework for all negotiations and to develop the skills and micro-skills that are necessary to navigate through the range of negotiations they face in the workplace.

    For organisations, communication has become ever more challenging in today’s climate where the people we need to reach are overloaded.

    We know as leaders that we have to connect with the hearts and minds of our people and we have to paint powerful visions of the future that people can identify with and support. We know that in every moment of communication, we need to reach a high level of connection and authenticity if we are to be effective, to be believed, to be followed with enthusiasm and to make a difference.
