A conference, billed as a new approach for the new circumstances faced by leaders  and managers, will help them look at ways of building resilience in
the workplace and shielding their capacity to deliver the skills outcomes the country needs.  It is being hosted by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service (LSIS)
next month.

The one-day event at London’s Thistle Marble Arch on 6 July will give senior leaders and managers in further education, the chance to engage with each other during a series of seminars, round-table discussions all captured live and fed back in-situ. Among those taking to the floor will be best-selling author Bill Lucas, who has won much acclaim for his recent book rEvolution – How To Thrive In Crazy Times.

David Collins, LSIS chief executive confirms that the conference would challenge thinking and steer leaders and managers into a greater personal and organisational resilience.  He said: “The conference takes a radically fresh approach to developing the collective understanding and learning that we now need. It will help turn the words of others into relevant action for ourselves. If we are going to do things differently, we need to develop ourselves differently too. This conference plans to do exactly that.”

The event will also explore how to build resilience in an organisation as well as looking at new and renewed ways of working in a world where high quality public services are key. Delegates will be engaged in structured sessions designed to help them make sense of change as it unfolds.

The cost of the conference is £150 per delegate although organisations with an LSIS Account may use that to pay for the event. (Enrolment is online at www.lsis.org.uk and delegates should have their LSIS account number ready before they enrol.)
