CHAP'S vision

When considering the input I thought it useful to search other organisation's visions and how this might impact on CHAPS vision.

COAG is the peak intergovernmental forum in Australia, comprising the Prime Minister, State Premiers, Territory Chief Ministers and the President of the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA). Seems as through it is about working cooperatively with no mention of a vision.

DEEWR this is the Department of Emplyment, Education and Workforce Relations. The only vision I could find was "Study in Australia - Live. Learn. Grow"

DET NSW has the DET Coporate Plan 2008-2010 with the vision statement of : "Improved social and economic well being of the people of NSW through the provision of high quality education and training."
For TAFE NSW this is Doing Business in the 20th Century. "A more flexible approach to delivering services."

When searching TAFE NSW Institute's the folloiwng was of interest:
NCI - Providing personalised vocational education and training to build prosperity, sustainability and innovation.
WSI - Position the Institute as the provider of choice for individuals and enterprises.
SI - To be progressive and influential – to change lives
SWSI - To be recognised as an innovative and responsive provider of education and training services and solutions that enable people and organisations to optimise their capacity for success.

So do we need something special for CHAPS??? Time to consider....

Creating the Vision

The first stage of the project was to create the readiness for change. This was the Big Day Out held in May. The following is an overview of the feedback. The next part was to profile the team's work preferences. This is the feedback from the session.

The next question related to scoping the project. What activities would be most beneficial for all involved.

Finally what would be the outcomes. These are the results.

Faculty Management Team Meeting 16th June 2009

At the monthly faculty meeting we discussed the project and brainstormed ideas of where to now. It was decided to create a survey and determine the priorities from there. The survey has had a huge response and can be viewed at survey.

Session 2 9th June

This session was more in detail looking at the way the profiles came together for the Faculty Management team. Interesting to hear ideas and thoughts of the process. ideas were discussed as to where to from here - developing the vision. Ideas included:

1. Clarify work roles and responsibilities
2. Develop networks and mentoring in the FMT
3. Support the commitment to expanding knowledge by staff and develop strategies on how this could be achieved
4. Refresh skills that relate to new business priorities
5. Develop confidence to apply new skills and knowledge

A plan will be put together on how this might be achieved and discussed at the next FMT meeting.
