Embedding the change that comes with any initiative is crucial, both for its long-term success and to realising benefits for your local community. This requires a ‘change by design’ mindset that incorporates managing change from initiative inception, not as an add-on at completion.
Join us for this Q&A webinar, the first in a new series for public sector practitioners co-hosted by PM-Partners and LGPro, where our expert panelists will discuss proven approaches to sustainable change. Drawing on their extensive hands-on experience, speakers will share valuable insights and lessons learned, with a focus on arming attendees with practical strategies they can immediately use to better manage change in their local government contexts.
Free to LGPro members and just $30 for non-members, this webinar also features the opportunity to ask your own questions of the panel. So don’t miss out - register your place today.
LGPro is the member association and leading voice for people working in local government in Victoria. To find out more, visit LGPRO | The Leading Voice.
