The Commission produced a wide range of material to support and promote its learning and development products and services.
These included:
- the introduction of a series of targeted electronic learning and development updates, SES events, APS 1–6 events and Graduate events, which provide regular and current information to these respective groups on the Commission’s learning and development services (EL events was already in existence and its format and production was refined this year to align with newly introduced electronic updates for the other levels of the APS)
- promotional flyers for Senior executive breakfast briefings, brochures for core senior executive development programmes including: Leading Australia’s Future in Asia (LAFIA), the newly introduced Leading Australia’s Future in Asia – Pacific, the revised Senior executive orientation programme and other regular programmes in the senior executive development suite
- Executive level (EL) development calendars and individual programme information flyers
- Indigenous programmes brochure for the new executive level leadership programme Leadership in the APS—an Indigenous experience
- APS 1–6 development calendars and information flyers
- graduate development calendars and information flyers
- a series of capability assessment and development tools, based on the Integrated Leadership System, for different levels of the APS from executive level 1 through to senior executive level Band 3
- calendars, promotional flyers and newsletters to promote and support learning and development services delivered through the Commission’s regional offices which are tailored to meet the specific needs of agencies’ regional offices
Information on the Commission’s learning and development products and services is also available from the Commission’s website and promoted through agency visits and displays at relevant industry events such as the national conference held by the Institute of Public Administration Australia.
Advertising and market research
A total of $140,008 was paid for advertising during 2004-05. This increase of 35% over the previous year was largely due to the Commission taking on responsibility during 2004-05 for recruiting Indigenous graduates for a large number of APS agencies.
In addition to expenditure on this activity, advertising was undertaken to promote development programmes, advertise tenders or recruit employees.
The Commission used Orima Research to conduct a client service telephone survey of APS agencies to evaluate our promotion of effective leadership ($18,266). No other market research activities were undertaken and the Commission did not employ the services of polling or direct mail organisations during 2003-04.
