We appreciate how challenging it can be to get approval for your professional development.
Sometimes it feels like you need a business case just to get that hallowed tick of approval (!!!)
So we feel your pain when something like the IPAA National Conference comes around and you desperately want to attend.
Who doesn’t need to be in the know about the single most important reform to impact the Australian public sector - the current Reform of Federation which has the potential to significantly change not only public sector activities, roles and responsibilities but also the way these services are delivered to our citizens.
We’ve therefore come up with this handy Why I should attend #ipaa2015 skills sheet (that you can amend to meet your own requirements) and this scribe video ( that you can use to advocate for your attendance at the conference for example:
Will you learn about the options for Federation Reform including Health, Education, Housing, Tax reform – Yes
Will the conference be focused on building your capabilities, and inevitably be of benefit to you and your agency – Yes
Will you be upskilled through our skills for the future presentations giving you the tools necessary to excel in the new environment – Yes
Will the conference meet personal developments KPI’s – Yes
Will you be able to report back what you’ve learnt and how you’ve developed with ease thanks to our end of conference collateral – Yes
Will the international and national speakers challenge and expand your views - Yes
Will it develop your own personal networks for your agency – Yes
What manager could possibly say no!
So use our Why I should attend #ipaa2015 skills sheet to help you get that YES approval. We look forward to welcoming you to the two day program which re-imagines how the public sector might look as a result of Federation reform and explores the skills those working in, and with the public sector, will need in this changing environment.
