Management Development Program
Both Strength to Strength and the Cultural Survey highlighted that a key focus area for our staff
was a desire for more training and career development. As a result, this year Interrelate’s managers
participated in a ten module Management Development Program. The program objects were to
focus on leadership and management development in three ways:
1. Extending self as a leader/manager and the understanding of role/place in the organisation
and the system of which we are part
2. System and organisation, seen from the inside out and the outside in, at both operational and
strategic levels
3. Tools, concepts needed to manage for now and the future. The future we desire to create for
ourselves, our organisation, our sector and most importantly our clients
The program was attended by all 40 managers across the regions and a commitment was made to
continue to run this program on a bi-monthly basis, to allow the management team to continue to
develop their skills and knowledge in critical management areas.
