It is best suited for staff who may be new to managing projects or have not previously undertaken any formal project management training.

  In the local government environment, leaders and professionals are required to balance the needs of upholding compliance and regulation (e.g. saying “no”, or issuing an expiation notice), while balancing the expectations of delivering a great customer experience.
  
  This course enables you to identify the dynamics at play where there is tension between needing to meet compliance requirements, meeting strategic objectives and maintaining strong customer relations within the community. You’ll learn the approaches, skills and behaviours that you can use on a daily basis to navigate this situation and be known for providing excellent customer service and improved performance, while meeting required levels of regulation.

  This course will be delivered across two 2 hour sessions via Zoom.

  Proudly presented by the LG Professionals SA Community Managers Network

  Local Government is changing. The demand for services is increasing and revenue is becoming more stretched; our industry is increasing in complexity and residents are demanding increased accountability. Measuring performance is critical so that we can have access to data which allows us to establish baselines, benchmarks and goals. The right data will allow us to make informed decisions about performance and direct scarce resources towards areas of improving customer satisfaction.

  Measuring in the community space is more than just numbers of participants, it is about measuring the social impact of programs and activities and the change in our communities.

  The conference will delve into the what, when, why and how of measurement, and how data can inform effective decision making for the benefit of our communities.

  The Plain English movement was designed to cut through the confusing legalese of important documents in an effort to create clear and coherent communication using common, everyday language that is easily understood by the reader. Incorporating Plain English principles into your work will result in less writing time, shorter documents and enhanced readability.
  
  Even if your role doesn’t require a lot of writing, how you come across is crucial to your credibility. The ability to write clearly, precisely, powerfully and persuasively is a key skill that enables you to summarise and present ideas, build relationships and gain commitment to action. It can also demonstrate your knowledge, confidence and professionalism.

  This course consists of two 2-hour Zoom sessions as well as video content and exercises prior to the live virtual classroom sessions.

  Many leaders find conversations about performance to be difficult and too often avoid them altogether.  Providing feedback, particularly when a team member’s performance falls short of expectations is one of the most critical functions a leader performs.  Yet for many this is one of the most dreaded and avoided.

  This program enables participants to develop skills and confidence in holding these conversations in an easy and comfortable environment.  Participants are provided opportunities to engage with a new and contemporary approach.  They will prepare for effective performance conversations in their workplace.

  Visit https://www.lgprofessionalssa.org.au/performance-coaching for more information.
