People working in public services who want to drive
change in communities across the region are being sought for a free evening
masterclass run by Wrexham Glyndwr University.
Whether they work in the private, voluntary, community
or public sector, participants are being asked to take part in the masterclass which links to new leadership courses being run at
Glyndwr.
The evening will give attendees a feel for some of the subjects
covered by the university’s new MA in Public Service Leadership and its
Introduction to Systems Leadership Short Course.
Both courses are unique in this country, and has been
designed specifically to dovetail with the Welsh Government’s Future
Generations Act – a major piece of legislation which is transforming the way
that services are being delivered across Wales.
The taster sessions are designed to help start
breaking down barriers and building up networks among the diverse range of
people working to improve the region’s communities.
Ken Perry, director of leadership practice Do-Well
(UK) Ltd and a visiting industrial fellow at Wrexham Glyndwr University, has
had a key role in developing both the MA and the short course.
He said: “Both of the sessions are open to everyone
and anyone involved in public service – whether they work in the public,
private, or third sectors.
“Anyone who is interested in the wealth and health or
our region – and what they can do the help improve it – should get something
out of these courses. We have got avoidable inequality across communities
in Wales, and through these taster sessions and the wider courses they feed
into we are looking at finding the pioneers who can help to tackle that
situation – and to build the kind of networks that are needed to do it.”
Dr Sarah Evans, Lecturer in Business at Glyndwr
University and a public sector specialist, is the programme leader for the
course.
She said: “These courses are all about driving change
through collaboration – and helping people build the networks they need is
vital to securing that change. By coming to this event, people can get a taste
of how they can work together on some of the big issues which face our
society.”
The taster session – and Glyndwr’s wider Public
Service Leadership courses – are already picking up interest from organisations
across Wales.
Ken added: “We are looking for pioneers – people who
are prepared to come in, take the course we have developed, and make it work
for them and their situation.
“As well taster sessions, we also offer a short
course and an MA in Public Service Leadership – and we have been talking to
fascinating people from across North Wales about taking part in each of them.
“We are talking to people from the NHS, the voluntary
sector, housing associations and local authorities and more.”
The free taster session has been designed to tailor
with the working day – and runs from 4.30pm to 7pm.
