Two big webinars coming up
On Thursday 24 September and 7 October 2020, we are running two big webinars on topics that are piping hot!
Why integrity matters to individuals and…organisations
On 24 September, we look at integrity, probity and organisational effectiveness—or how making good decisions in a proper way makes organisations work better. It’s a tough topic because all of us at some stage will face the challenge of what we should do when asked to cut corners, ignore particular behaviour, stay silent, ignore proper process or bury inconvenient truths.
Two experts, Dr Julia Cornwell McKean—a certified investigator, probity adviser and auditor, a member of the Victorian Merit Protection Boards and a Commissioner to the board of the Victorian Building Authority—and Chas Savage, Chief Executive Officer, Ethos CRS, talk problems and solutions with Kate Wall.
Clear writing style in 2020
It’s only a few weeks before the Digital Transformation Agency releases the Australian Government Style Manual as a final version.
Which is why in October we turn our attention to clear writing style and why it’s important for busy professionals.
And we’ve bought an expert panel together to chew over the Style Manual, what’s new, what’s different, and what’s interesting.
Likely questions include: Should ‘program’ be spelt ‘programme’? Should we say ‘departments’ or ‘Department’? And should public servants ever wear a fleecy in the office?
Join us on 7 October for an all-star discussion that includes Dr Amanda Laugesen from the Australian National Dictionary Centre; Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands, Silver and the soon to be published Trust; and Chas Savage, Chief Executive Officer of Ethos CRS.
