Management Development workshops for local government staff (in-house)
It is increasingly important for managers in local government to have the skills and flexibility needed to achieve the high standards of efficient public services which are expected by their customers, stakeholders and government.
TRA offers a series of 1-day workshops, designed specifically to help local authority managers, from any department or discipline, to meet the challenges they face in an ever-changing work environment.
These workshops are available exclusively on an in-house basis for individual authorities (or groups of neighbouring authorities).
Workshops topics
Workshops on the following topics have been developed and are available:
| Business and service planning |
| Getting to grips with performance management |
| Developing effective internal communications |
| Project management |
| The procurement and management of consultants |
| Change Management |

| Professionals Becoming Managers |
| Personal Effectiveness and Time Management |

We are also more than happy to consider developing bespoke/tailored training to suit the needs of individual clients where appropriate.
