MANAGEMENT INSIGHTS – UNIQUE PERSPECTIVES ON EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT
AIMS:
A firm grasp of management principles, its functions, structure and its problems are essential for the development of managers. The programme provides unique perspectives on effective management. It explores the fundamental insights into management, particularly examining its multifaceted role, purpose, process and practice. It provides the platform for first/front line managers, floor leaders and supervisors to examine their views and thinking on management, demonstrate their capability in the workplace and to develop their personal competencies. The overall aim of the programme is to explore best management principles and practices as well as to examine and discuss the skills, confidence and practicalities of being a manager.
The programme has been designed to provide an holistic approach to the way we manage, develop and foster relationships with service users, staff and agencies. Its basis is to establish “best value” of service and have valued and competent managers who know why and most importantly how to perform their managerial duties. It is aimed at developing their practice, competence, skills, knowledge and experience, ensuring that service planning, provision and delivery are maintained at the highest levels.
The training programme is designed to meet the needs of individuals, groups/teams and the organisation. Equality and Diversity practice forms the foundation and is integral to all training courses. A number of techniques will be employed - presented material, trainer led discussions, individual and group work using tasks and case studies to facilitate learning and development.
