Decision Making - How it really works
Clearer Understanding. Stronger Leadership.
As an elected member, you are judged on the quality of the decisions you make. Armed with an understanding of the decision making process, you can deliver strong leadership for your region.
This interactive workshop references the Local Government Act, your council's LTP and other relevant legislation to give a complete framework for decision making. We also provide opportunities to practically apply key decision making principles and procedures.
Key Learnings
Covering the theory and practical application of decision making, we translate the jargon and define your role as an elected member. We help you learn how to balance political and technical aspects, and weigh up short and long-term objectives.
Topics includes:
- Purpose and principles of the Local Government Act (LGA)
- Differentiating between decision making and policy
- Key council procedures for decision making
- Conflicts of interest
- Principles of consultation
