WAS a course with a difference which seven Air Force personnel
undertook recently when they headed to the Southern Cross University
in Lismore.
The course, known as the Public Sector Executive Management Program,
was developed for Air Force through consultation with Management
Services Agency (MSA) to provide the necessary skills to take
on the role of Air Force management consulting within MSA.
MSA, part of Air Force Headquarters, is an internal consultancy
agency providing business improvement services to Air Force commanders,
including organisational analysis, facilitated workshops and strategy
planning.
On completion of the 15-week intensive course, students attain
a Graduate Certificate of Management (six units towards a Masters
of Business Administration degree) and are ready to assist commanders
to improve their business practices.
Subjects include Processes of Management, Research Methods, Organisational
Behaviour, Strategic Management and Consulting Skills.
