Gain the Policy Edge - 4 June 2012
4 Jun 2012
Successful public sector leaders are intelligent, intensely curious and articulate. They know the way governments work and how they are shaped over time.
This innovative five-day program is aimed at senior government officers and managers who want to develop their policy skills and leadership potential.
It challenges participants to think cleverly about policy.
Previous participants say...
‘I liked the role plays and group work - even though challenging! Gain the Policy edge provided a good opportunity to listen to high profile government figures (past & present)’.
Tracey Mander - Senior Project Officer, Department of Health
'Being relatively new to the public sector, Gain the Policy Edge helped me create good policy and understand the interaction of policy and government. Best facilitators I have had on a course and a good opportunity to build networks with other participants.'
Andrew Crow - Manager Post Acute Services, Metropolitan Health and Aged Care Services, Department of Human Services
