GOVERNMENT TRAINING ORGANISATIONS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

SHAPING UP

THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION...

IS IT REALLY SO?

Or are we just paying lip service to the notion?

TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL

We are told that without training...

TRAINING, THE RIGHT TRAINING AND TRAINING THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Training which is not properly focused can have just as serious consequences

ENTER TRAINING FOR COMPETENCIES

A characteristic and measurablepattern of knowledge, skill andability, demonstrated throughbehaviours, which underlies anddrives exceptional performance

WHERE TO PLACE THE FOCUS

What competencies do we need to be fit for purpose?

QUALIFICATIONS vs COMPETENCIES

But do we really have to choose?

CORE COMPETENCIES

Strategic Management Leadership and People Management Financial, Resource, and Business Management Interpersonal Skills and Communication Decision making and Analytical thinking Self-management and Self-development Management of Change Innovation and Creativity Technical Ability and Operational Competence Relationship Management (customer focus) Governance Information Management and Analysis

The Senior Management Toolkit

BUT HOW DOES IT ALL LINK UP?

Accurate job descriptions + Competencies identified +

Psychometric testing/Skills assessment & Profiling +Training

= Award/Certificate

Competency Award Certificate

TALENT MANAGEMENT & CAREER PATHS

We need to develop specialisations and expertise to match the needs out there.

LEVEL OF KEY COMPETENCIES AND SKILLS

Level 1 Sufficiently able to define and manage skill if required.    Level 2 Understands the background, issues and implications

sufficiently to be able to understand how to proceed further and advise client accordingly. 

  Level 3 Detailed knowledge of subject area and capable of providing

BUILDING COMPETENCIES

Means a Public Administration staying in shape

... To foster economic growth

BUT COMPETENCIES REFLECT NEEDS

And we shape up according to those needs

FLEXIBILITY REMAINS KEY
