Integrity and ethics are a core tenet of the public purpose sector and underpins the community’s trust in the services we deliver.
IPAA Victoria’s Senior Executive Integrity and Ethical Leadership Program (Senior Executive IELP) is the leadership development course for the modern public purpose sector leader.
Underpinned by the Integrity and Ethical Leadership Framework, the course equips leaders with the strategies, intelligence and tools to build integrity and ethical resilience. Over a three-wave intensive, leaders who undertake the course can connect with like-minded peers from Victoria’s diverse public purpose sector.
Course overview
Over a three-wave intensive, the participants will be guided through an ethical journey focusing on integrity in the public sector.
The program will be supported by expert facilitators and thought-leaders from within and beyond the public sector, with public sector ‘wise head’ luminaries involved to provoke and share behind-the-scenes insights of real-world experiences.
The three waves allow participants to deep dive into the world of ethics and integrity and the challenges the public sector faces.
- Wave I focuses on System and Culture.
- Wave II is facilitated by Cranlana Centre for Ethical Leadership and looks into the philosophical enquiries into the public sector.
- Wave III then looks at your Leadership Ripple and how the ethical decisions you make as leaders then shapes the team around you.
- The Waves are culminated in a 360 Degree survey and coaching sessions.
