ACCSR Learning Program Update
Thursday 27 April 2006
ExperienceCSR in Melbourne
ACCSR’s flagship one-day crash-course in CSR
strategy and tactics will be on again in Melbourne
on Thursday 27 April. The workshop uses an award-winning
video game business simulation in which participants
work in teams to develop the CSR strategy that will
get the most buy-in from both internal and external
stakeholders.
It’s great fun and very effective. Over 150
Australian managers have now “experienced CSR” and
we have had wonderful feedback at every session.
ExperienceCSR takes you through all the real steps
involved in defining, planning and implementing a
CSR program. You will interview the stakeholders,
create and implement a plan and get immediate feedback.
ExperienceCSR is an excellent introductory CSR program
for managers at all levels and will provide CSR specialists
with the tools to enhance program effectiveness through
understanding CSR change management best practice.
The early bird deadline is Friday 31 March and numbers
are limited.
