This webinar was an opportunity
to learn more about the findings from the first ever Community Planning
Officials Survey and consider what it means for community planning work, public
service reform and community empowerment.
Dr Oliver Escobar, lead researcher
on the survey, presents the findings in detail, reflecting specifically on the
challenging aspect of the role of community planning officials (managers and
officers) – their leadership at the frontline of culture change in local
governance.
The survey examines the skills
and knowledge that people bring to the community planning role and the
structural issues that have an impact on the job.
