Effective leaders set the standard of professional practice and shape the workforce they lead. Attributes of integrity, honesty and respect filter through the organisations they govern.
The Executive Induction program provides newly appointed SA public sector executives with the essential knowledge and networks required to foster these attributes, while delivering on the government’s economic and strategic priorities.
The program offers high-impact sessions, delivered by ministers, chief executives, and other highly regarded experts, designed to equip new executives with key frameworks and concepts to optimise the workforce performance and potential.
The program is mandatory for all new executives, and is comprised of a combination of face-to-face workshops and virtual sessions (where required) typically delivered over two-to-three days across several weeks.
Upcoming programs (held twice a year):
- May 2024 program (FULL)
- November 2024 program (Tuesday 19 and Wednesday 20)
The Executive Induction Program provides new executives with the essential foundations required to successfully align leadership competencies with the vision of a thriving public sector.
