Community Economics
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.

We are on ngunnawal and ngambri land. They have been here for at least 20,000 years. They have had tens of thousands of leaders in that time. They survived until Europeans turned up and still survive in spite of everything. Europeans and other ethnic groups have been here for a few hundred years. Always worth acknowledging.
