This program sets out practical strategies to build organisational capability and provide learning opportunities for staff that are both cost-effective and time-effective. It focuses on ensuring the ‘learning on the job’ portion of the ’70:20:10’ leaning model works in practice.

Peer Review for Practitioners
In many organisations, managers and team leaders spend a lot of time reviewing draft documents that are complex, technical or sensitive. This program provides staff with the concepts and practical strategies to undertake peer review, whether they are an author or a reviewer. If applied consistently, these techniques will (i) deliver better documents, (ii) lift staff capability in a sustainable manner and (iii) support a collaborative workplace culture focused on best outcomes for Council. If your staff write documents, this is the best ‘bang for buck’ option to simultaneously lift quality and capability.
