Case study
Golden Plains Shire: enterprise capability strategy
Learning & Development Business Partner · Golden Plains Shire Council · 2023
A costed, prioritised capability strategy for a diverse local-government workforce, worked out with the service areas it covered.
The Challenge
Replace ad-hoc training with a strategy tied to Council priorities and real workforce need.
What I Did
Ran an organisation-wide learning-needs analysis from the culture survey and strategic/operational plans; set four priorities; sat with the professional groups across the council, engineers and early childhood educators among them, and mapped their continuing professional development into a service-wide training matrix; built a mandatory-training competency matrix across service areas and commissioned an RTO to close the gaps.
The Outcome
A $200K capability program, with compliance reframed as capability rather than cost.
