Concepts/skills for managing teams, groups and meetings
Town planners operate extensively and increasingly in groups and teams - interaction with others is very much part of their professional make-up. One practical expression of this is heavy involvement in meetings.
This workshop develops an explicit understanding of the mechanics and dynamics of working with others in teams and meetings. It includes analysis of the types of teams/meetings in which planners are involved; the advantages/disadvantages of teamworking; different types of team and their relevance to various aspects of planning; team development and the application of team concepts; chairing and participating in meetings; problems and how these can be overcome.
Teamworking is in many ways the most sophisticated aspect of modern approaches to management. This module enables participants to understand what is involved and make the most effective use of the group and individual resources available to the organisation. At another level, it also covers a good deal of very practical material about meeting management, which can make clear and practical difference to the operation of planning services.
The module includes attendance at two separate two-day tutorial sessions at Madingley Hall, Cambridge, and successful completion of assessed practical project work. The dates of the two Tutorial sessions are given below.
