Building Public Sector Capability through the 70:20:10 Framework: A Masterclass
The 70:20:10 framework is widely used across the Australian public sector to assist organisations to develop capability. Although the framework is popular and well regarded, there is little research into its effectiveness. Researchers from the Public Service Research Group have spoken with 145 public sector managers to understand the effectiveness of middle management development programs aligned to the 70:20:10 framework.
During the program, we will share the findings of our research and offer recommendations to improve the return on investment and transfer of learning from management and leadership programs to the workplace, through a more effective use of the 70:20:10 framework.
At the end of the masterclass, participants will gain a better understanding of:
• the experiences of middle managers attending development programs;
• what is and what is not working well in management and leadership development;
• the ideal training that public sector managers seek;
• the biggest blockers of learning transfer for middle managers; and
• how the 70:20:10 framework can more effectively build management and leadership capability.
Duration: One Day
Delivery Mode: This knowledge sharing will be run in an informal, friendly and supportive manner. PSRG researcher, Dr Samantha Johnson, will present and discuss the findings of her research into management and leadership development and the results of her analysis of the 70:20:10 framework.
During the workshop, participants will engage in discussions with each other, identifying and addressing the challenges and successes that they have experienced in management and leadership development and in the implementation of the 70:20:10 framework.
Open forum discussions will allow participants to raise and discuss points of interest in relation to building management and leadership capability in the public sector.
