DEADLINE FOR REGISTRATIONS - Midday, Wednesday 15th July
Presented by Christine
Coste
This
course is designed to introduce key concepts in relation to operating as a
planning professional in the digital age. The world has and is changing rapidly,
and this has a real impact on how we operate as professionals.
The course will explore:
- An introduction to some of the pressures of the digital age;
- How these pressures impact on the ethical and competent practice of
planners;
- What other planning jurisdictions overseas are doing about these
challenges; and
- What concepts we can introduce into our practice to counter these
pressures to maintain our ethical responsibilities.
The
purpose of this course is to give a solid grounding on what the issues are, and
how a planner may overcome these to ensure professional integrity. The course
does not specifically cover use of digital technology or other tools.
By
the end of the course attendees will:
- Have an increased awareness of the societal changes resulting from the modern
world
- Understand how these changes impact on planning and planning ethics
- Understand how to uphold ethical and competent practice against these
pressures
- Awareness of what new knowledge or skills the individual planner may
need to gain to adapt individual practice to meet these challenges
Who
should attend?
The
course is targeted to experienced planners, however is framed to accommodate
planners at all levels. The course will be particularly beneficial to team
leaders/managers in the public sector responsible for teams of planners, and/or
designing public processes. It will also be particularly valuable to those who are
responsible for their organisation’s work processes and systems (e.g. those
working in sole practice, team leaders/managers in larger organisations).
