Managing Risks to Integrity in the Public Sector
9-13 May 2010
Melbourne
This executive workshop is designed for senior executives whose responsibilities require them to be able to recognise and manage threats to the values and integrity of public services. It aims to equip managers with a clear, executive-level view of the threats to public sector integrity and the variety of approaches and systems available to manage such risks and understand the relationship between personal values, professional values and the production of public value.
The course consciously takes a risk management approach and focuses on the dual tasks of promoting integrity and managing risks. Through a mixture of case discussions, interactive sessions with leading practitioners and some small group excercises, the course will provide participants with an opportunity to explore together their common challenges and respective experiences.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at SES and senior managers for whom managing risks to integrity is an important part of their general management responsibilities rather than specialists in the field of enforcement and investigation.
