NSG: A new & practical leadership development programme from the National School of Government will see participants tackle their own ‘real life’ work issues, whilst learning how to reframe their approaches to the problems that conventional techniques fail to resolve.

‘Leadership: problems, strategies and systems: making space to think’ – the first module of which takes place at Sunningdale Park between 3-5 June 2009 – takes as its starting point the kinds of complex environment in which leaders typically find it difficult to effect meaningful change.  It then encourages participants to explore their work challenges as consultants in pragmatic, problem-oriented ways.

CRC: The Commission for Rural Communities are working with the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) to hold a number of feedback sessions providing updates on the progress made in taking forward the findings & recommendations of the CRC’s Participation Inquiry, which directly informed the government’s White Paper Communities in control: Real people, real power.
 
NALC's regional Stepping Stones events will also share good practice and provide regional networking opportunities for councillors & officers of all tiers of local government.  They'll also provide an opportunity for newly established local councils and principal authorities to learn more about the work and capabilities of the parish and town council sector.
