This is a two-day training course running from Tuesday 27th to Wednesday 28th June in Central London
There are a number of highly effective tools that can be used to improve the robustness of your policy planning and development. This event covers the essentials that every policy maker needs. It addresses the development of the whole policy cycle: rationale, objectives, appraisal of options, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and taking forward lessons learned into the design of future policies.
This training seminar will examine the most effective approaches to delivering policy objectives by means of understanding individual or group behaviour. It will look in detail at the methodologies policy makers can use, and how we can best understand how people think, feel and react; as well as gaining knowledge into what people are thinking about particular subjects at a given time. The seminar will examine generic and specific behavioural and psychological issues that need to be built into your policy formulation, development and delivery when you are seeking maximum effectiveness.
In practically whichever country you look at, women tend to be under-represented at the higher organisational levels. Many countries have legislation in place to address this issue, but even where discrimination and pay disparity are illegal, such bad practices often seem to continue with apparent impunity, often at alarmingly significant levels, despite the best intentions of the legislators. Other factors can also hold women back, ranging from external perceived expectations about leadership profiles, job roles, or a lack of opportunity, through to personal issues such as self-confidence and an absence of obvious career ladders for women to progress.
Global Government Forum are pleased to present two stand-alone, but complementary seminars that look into a wide range of issues affecting women who are either looking to move into leadership roles, or who are already in such roles, and who wish to equip themselves for a further upwards move.
Governments have many and varied tools at their disposal.
So how do policymakers make sense of all these possibilities and think about the best tools, or combination of tools, to use for any specific policy? How effective will they be? How acceptable? How feasible?
One way of thinking about this is to adopt a ‘toolbox’ approach, in which governments have four primary types of tools available to them.
These are nodality (governments’ power over information); authority (power to make rules); treasure (power over money, taxation and spending); and finally organization (power to establish groups to do things).
This seminar will look in detail at these four categories of tools that policy makers have at their disposal, and how combining them in different ways can contribute to successful policy formulation and results.

The methodical application of futures thinking, including horizon scanning and scenario planning, will enable you to think about and develop policy in a more strategic way, adding greatly to its value for policy-making teams and decision-makers.

A policy is only as good as its implementation and delivery. This course considers the challenge of implementing and delivering strategic policy effectively. It guides you through a series of questions and tools that will help you make strategic delivery choices that are more feasible, that better address the key challenges you face, that work in different future scenarios, and result in sustained changes and better results for your stakeholders.
This highly practical half-day event is designed to help you to develop your skills and confidence in writing briefings for senior officials and political decision-takers.
We will explore the policy context of briefing, examine a range of structures/templates for different type of briefs, and introduce a framework for writing policy briefs. The session will comprise a mix of guidance, discussion and practical exercises.
This event covers the essentials that every policy maker needs. It is ideal for those new to policy or those seeking to build on their existing knowledge. It covers the development of the whole policy cycle: rationale, objectives, appraisal of options, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and taking forward lessons learned into the design and implementation of future policies.
