Skills, tools and strategies for public sector managers
Good decision-making is the foundation of organisational success and the only way in which public sector agencies can maximise the probability achieving their objectives in an increasingly complex and uncertain policy environment.
Agencies, however, do not make decisions, people do; and the organisational environment in which people are situated can profoundly impact upon the quality of their decisions. Managers, executives and team leaders have the ability to shape the environment in which those decisions are made—for better or worse.
Designed for both individuals and teams, this short, fully online course provides public sector managers, executives, and others in a leadership role with skills, tools and strategies that can be used to create an organisational environment that is likely to produce high-quality and defensible policy and administrative decisions.

Put simply, decison-making is the only thing over which you have any control. And yet, it is something that you probably haven’t been trained how to do. While our strategic decision training is likely to help you to make better decisions for many years to come, if it helps you to get only one major personal or professional decision right (or avoid getting one major decision wrong), it will have paid for itself many times over. And with well over 90% of participants surveyed saying that our courses provided them with knowledge, skills and tools needed to make better decisions, you can rest assured that learning how to make good decisions is likely to be one of the best investments you’ll ever make.
