Minutes of the Personal Effectiveness & Management Task Group Held on 24th May 2005 at 3pm University of Westminster Present: Judith Cattermole (Chair), Val Straw, Elaine Salter, Donald Lickley Jacky Camroux, Jo Butler & Dave Puplett (administrator) 1. Apologies Beverley Lightley, Maggie Fieldhouse and Sara Burnett. 2. Minutes of the last meeting – 3rd March 2005 One change suggested by Jacky to report on Negotiation Skills. Dave to update. 3. Matters arising Jo Butler introduced as replacement for David Ward. Dave Puplett introduced as new administrator, taking over from Sasha. 4. Programme 2004/2005 • Emotional Intelligence Ash Charlton ran this event at Royal Holloway, Bedford Square on the 12th May 2005. Jacky attended, and reported that it was excellent. Access to the building was an issue, due to some confusion in the literature sent out to delegates. Cpd25 unlikely to use the same venue again. • Breakfast Briefing – Leadership (23 June 05) To be held at King’s by Gareth Edwards from The Leadership Trust. Dave to advertise immediately, places to be reserved for Jacky Elaine and Judith, subject to confirmation. • 24/7 Conference This event was held at Etc Venues, Hatton Centre on the 26th April 2005. Over 90 delegates attended, from across the UK. The event was a tremendous success, with very positive feedback from delegates. The venue was very popular and justified the expense spent. Those who helped will not be charged for the event, as it was due to make a healthy overall profit. The roles of Sasha Poulter and Caroline Holebrook were acknowledged in the success of this event. On the downside, the Q&A session at the end of the day was not very successful, and in future it was agreed more time should be provided for questions at the end of each speakers’ presentations. Visits • National Art Library, Victoria & Albert Museum This visit took place on the 23rd May 2005. Val attended, and informed the group that it was a very good visit. It was noted that a repeat visit should have a warning that the visit is not ideal for those with mobility problems. • National Archive, Kew on 16th June 2005. Dave to advertise shortly. A short discussion took place about the problem of people booking visits before they had been properly advertised, leaving only a few places open when the advert actually goes out. Dave to investigate solutions. Dave will be attending this visit, Judith is unavailable. 5. Programme 2005/06 Senior managers would be left until 06/07 before being run again. Middle Managers – Beverley Possibility of using Hudson Rivers. New Managers – Elaine. Repeat of previous sessions. Coping at the Counter – Jacky Run once early in year, possibility of re-run again in Spring. Rewarding Staff – Val Could use Beryl Morris. Focus on exchange of ideas – when advertised, care should be taken to emphasise this. Like a breakfast briefing but not billed as such. Effective meetings – Jo Could be run as two half day sessions or one full day. Split could consist of Participation in meetings and Charing or Managing. Levelheaded could be used for this event. Statistics (making your case with) – Donald Need to discuss scope of the event. Negotiation - Judith Could use Ash Charlton again. Focus on negotiation with peers, managers and academics. Breakfast Briefing – Mapping Competencies – Jacky & Donald Visits: Brighton Jubilee – Maggie (provisionally) Prison Library – Val & Sara. Perhaps best to aim for a women’s prison library. 6. Remit of Group As requested by the Steering Group, the Task group assessed their remit, as described on cpd25.ac.uk The group agreed that the wording should be changed slightly to: The task group will cover all areas of professional effectiveness and management, including….. Dave to update the page. 7. Any other business Dave mentioned that the cpd25 webpage would be hosting all of the minutes from now on, and that some changes to the booking system would take place over the summer. Elaine reported back that she has been following a course on Leadership. This was at level 4, and was going very well. The University of Westminster has been supporting her through this. Judith wished Elaine good luck in the rest of the course on behalf of the group. 8. Date of next meeting Wednesday 14th September 3pm, at Westminster. Action: Dave to book room DP 1 June 05 |
