Training Approach

We provide a range of training programmes for managers and support staff. Our programmes are tailored to your organisation's policies, procedures and business issues. We make training practical and relevant so that participants are able to apply new skills and knowledge to their work roles.

Our training approach is to:

  • Customise training around your organisation’s systems, processes, terminology and governance frameworks
  • Focus on value for money, transparency and accountability
  • Fully engage participants: we cater for all learning styles, include a range of activities and use accelerated learning techniques
  • Use blended learning: we include pre-course exercises, post-course exercises and encourage participants to bring along their own reports, information and management issues
  • Provide training needs analysis, if required

We are passionate about making training relevant, understandable and fun.

Examples of tailored training solutions include:

  • The government budget cycle and Crown reporting requirements
  • Managing appropriations, expense transfers and new initiative bids
  • Key legislation including the Public Finance Act and the Public Audit Act
  • Transparency and public accountability
  • Developing commercial awareness and business acumen
  • Creating synergies and efficiencies
  • Understanding business drivers and financial drivers
  • Balancing risk and return

What our participants say:

'Kevin has a superb way of explaining what is quite an intricate subject. Timing is well managed and the course content really tied everything together in relation to our company practices and procedures'
