Manager 2020 Principles and Innovation System Qualifications
Client
Innovation and Business Skills Australia (IBSA)
Description
In 2006 IBSA commissioned the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to undertake a study into the changing role of Australia's senior leaders and managers (Manager 2020), and to identify the skills and attributes needed to respond to those changes. The impetus for the report was IBSA's commitment to guiding and advising industry and training providers on management skill needs to ensure that Australia's international competitiveness continues to grow in the 21st century.
Precision Consultancy has now been engaged by IBSA to explore ways of incorporating the Manager 2020 principles in skilling solutions at all levels of management and leadership.
The project will also include the development of qualifications/skill sets and units of competency as recommended by the report "Scoping the need for high level 'innovation system' qualifications/skill sets", as a key component of the implementation of IBSA's Blueprint for Action on Innovation.
