Delivering through complexity requires us to navigate change at the pace at which our lives and work are changing.

Participants will identify their values and character strengths as a frame of reference to guide themselves and others. They will take away tangible strategies and templates for managing themselves and leading others through change.

CROSS-SILO COMMUNICATION FOR TECHNICAL EXPERTS
A decade of rhetoric around breaking down silos and working collaboratively has seen local governments build more holistic ways of working across their organisations. But the reality is that councils are complex organisations with distinct business units with their own priorities and deliverables. So how should technical experts communicate across these business lines? This session will ensure technical staff's' message resonates without the technical baggage, that their priorities are understood by non-technical staff and management, and that they secure buy-in from across disparate teams.

RECOMMENDED FOR: Officers, Team Leaders, Coordinators, Technical Experts
