Defining Success & Measuring Regulatory Performance
Location: Online
Date: 14-15 November2023
Time: All day
Email: [email protected]
Overview: An unparalleled learning opportunity
During this two-part seminar we will be discussing the meaning of “success” in a regulatory environment and the associated challenges of performance measurement and management. Professional regulators and law-enforcement officials certainly deal with customers, and so the normal range of customer-service metrics has some relevance for them. But their principal business is to deliver protections to society against various classes of harm, and towards that end they deliver and, where necessary, enforce obligations, influence behaviours, and manage compliance. The nature of “success” to be pursued and assessed is therefore quite different in the “protective” role of government than in service-provision roles.

Mastering Difficult Conversations & Feedback Masterclass for Public Sector Leaders
Empowering you to have more genuine, effective & constructive engagement within your team & organisation
Location: Canberra, ACT
Date: 21-22 November 2023
Time: All day
Email: [email protected]
Overview: It’s daunting holding challenging conversations and delivering difficult (but important) feedback.
All managers and leaders need to conduct difficult conversations at some time or another. It’s an important, although uncomfortable, learning curve for all emerging leaders.
It’s not surprising most of us have the tendency to avoid potential conflict. It’s human nature. Difficult conversations are tricky, but they cannot be avoided.
It is essential for leaders to have the confidence to identify and manage problems at work early on, before they escalate. Without the confidence to navigate difficult conversations, leaders may find themselves avoiding or delaying and actually perpetuating the problem. Generally speaking, this leads to more frustration, internal confusion and resentment and despite all this avoidance and delay – you still have to have the (now more) difficult conversation.
The good news is that difficult conversations can be successfully managed and can achieve positive outcomes for all involved.
