We can design workshops and forum that suit each situation with topic experts - experienced in real life not just theory bound - as needed.


The interactive workshops can be for: community groups, businesses, business organisations, government agencies, special interest groups and political parties.

 

Workshop themes:

Knowing your community – Each community has its own rhythm and it is difficult to influence something that we don’t fully comprehend. Understanding how a particular community functions and interacts is important. Who are the important people? Which sectors are growing or declining? What does the future hold?


Writing economic development plans - outcome focused not on the best report but on action.


Influencing with purpose – developing the right mindset, skills and plans for achieving the influence needed to get results.


Dealing with the dark side – the great fear of most people - experienced and not so experienced – is dealing with dishonesty, aggression, threats and deceit from individuals in positions of influence. This session deals with that very troubling tricky and confronting issue.


Developing networks, contacts, partnerships and cooperation - sometimes this is easy to achieve but often it isn't, yet the fact is that getting access to government funds and support often means showing (and having) a united voice.


Specific issues that can be addressed include:  Organisational Politics; Community politics; Federal, State and Local politics

 
We also offer other workshops on Grant Writing; tendering; and working with politicians and bureaucrats.
