It is often much easier to attend to operational tasks, meeting short term goals than trying to think and plan strategically, setting long term goals, especially if you are a solo worker.

This one-day course will provide you with appropriate tools and techniques to help you set a direction and to think and work more strategically.

Benefits of attending
The day will outline how to create a strategic plan for your service and how to execute this plan, including overcoming barriers. It focuses on how to work more efficiently and productively as an individual and within a team.

By the end of the event participants will have: 
  • identified their work values 
  • gained an understanding of how these need to inform decisions and strategic planning 
  • created a vision and mission for their service 
  • set result-driven and purposeful goals to achieve their vision and mission 
  • discovered a strategic time management model 
  • overcome barriers to delegation

Who should attend?
Middle to senior managers who are solo workers; and/those who are deputising or leading a team.

Special notes: participants are asked to bring work objectives/goals and their work diaries.
