mandatory councillor training
training beyond
box ticking
Mandatory Councillor Training is about more than compliance. It’s an opportunity to upskill your councillor group to make more collaborative and effective strategic decisions. Simon works with council’s who want to provide meaningful training to councillors, not just tick boxes.
For the last three years Simon has facilitated the strategy component of LGPro’s Executive Leadership Program. As an independent expert facilitator he maintains a unique non-partisan position that allows him to work with executive and councillor groups both individually and collectively.
Simon has consulted, facilitated and trained leaders across more than two dozen Victorian councils. His expertise in strategic foresight and collaborative decision making is particularly aligned to the mandatory training guidelines on
- decision making, integrity and accountability
- strategic planning and financial management
If you’d like to support your councillors to be more strategic thinkers and better collaborative decision makers please get in touch.
councillor workshops
the power of being strategic
Building on the information, knowledge and skills associated with the Local Government integrated strategic planning framework, Simon’s workshop The Power of Being Strategic highlights the difference between ‘doing strategy’ and ‘being strategic’.
If you need to get councillors to shift from an operational focus to a strategic one, this is a great place to start.
THE POWER OF BEING STRATEGIC
the science of decisions
There is little that can prepare councillors for the complexity and challenge of local government decision making, but ‘The Science of Decisions’ workshop will definitely help.
This workshop is for councillor groups who are sick of kicking the can down the road and want the skills to tackle the complex challenges your council faces. It shares scientifically proven approaches to making difficult choices, overcoming disagreement and improving collaborative decision making.
