  • Project management: Consult, liaise with, and influence key stakeholders, produce detailed project plans, monitor performance against objectives, manage project risks and issues, and ensure project objectives are met.
  • Service excellence: Plan and design delivery strategies that ensure outcomes of appropriate quality are delivered within time and resource parameters.
  • Self-management: Invite feedback on your behaviour and impact, use new knowledge or information about yourself to build a broader understanding of your behaviour and the impact it has on others.

Personal Qualities:

  • Creativity and innovation: Generate new ideas, draw on a range of information sources to identify new ways of doing things, actively influence events and promote ideas.
  • Decisiveness: Take rational and sound decisions based on a consideration of the facts and alternatives, make tough decisions sometimes with incomplete information.
  • Developing others: Actively seek to improve others' skills and talents by providing constructive feedback, coaching, and training opportunities.
  • Teamwork: Cooperate and work well with others in pursuit of team goals, collaborate and share information, show consideration, concern, and respect for others' feelings and ideas.
