At this point of the program, participants are allocated teams in which to undertake a team project.  This marks the half-way point of the program with the project an opporutnity for those who have not commenced their project work to 'dip their toe' within a team environment.  The project guide-lines give participants an opportunity to use and demonstrate the skills and knowledge explored so far.  The 360-degree feedback tool is administered at this point also, providing participants with valuable feedback of their behaviour and ability from within their workplace.

We all gather information from a wide range of sources in order to participate in society. Each of us has a vast amount of information that we must deal with on a daily basis.

 

Information overload is a familiar term to most of us. We are bombarded with information every day in our personal and working lives. We are living in what many refer to as the information age and we must find ways of sifting through the volumes of information that come our way every day, keeping what is useful to us and discarding what is not.

 

Information systems are planning tools; they enable managers to have the correct information on hand in the correct format in order to make decisions. Information systems organise and distribute information. Well designed systems provide accurate, up-to-date information to the people who need it most. It ensures that the right information is available on time to the right people.

 

This session explores workplace information, the systems available to manage workplace information and the role of the frontline manager in collecting, analysing and reporting information.
