Workshop to start OneAPS Engagement and Partnership Network

By the APSC

Workshop creates OPEN group

To drive a OneAPS approach to building capability in the area of Engagement and Partnership, the APS Academy has been working with key stakeholders to develop an APS Engagement and Partnership Network. 

The network, which demonstrates a key social learning deliverable for the Academy, is called the OneAPS Partnership and Engagement Network (OPEN). 

The kick-off event for OPEN was held on 11 October 2022. We had a great representation of people from across the public sector, including (about 50 Executive Level staff). 

“It was heartening to see such a well-supported workshop that led to the creation of the new group, now called OPEN. The feedback was also encouraging with ‘sharing resources’ being what most wanted to help raise their capability. "

Participants generated rich discussions about how we understand and practice Partnership and Engagement in our day to day work.

Chart showing results from a closed survey question: What would you like to get out of the OneAPS Partnership and Engagement Network? Six response options are shown. The top 3 results were: ‘Share resources’ (22%), ‘Learn from others’ (20%) and ‘Exchange ideas’ (17%). The other responses were: ‘Connect with likeminded people’ (15%), ‘Share news and learning’ (15%) and ‘Share mobility opportunities’ (10%).

 

Our OPEN - OneAPS Partnership and Engagement Network GovTEAMS account is up and running so the network can continue collaborating. The Academy will utilise the insights brought together in the workshop to inform how we support uplifting our capability as OneAPS. 

You need to have a GovTEAMS Official account to access this network.
