Activity

Planning ahead

Write down the different roles in your organisation- as many as you can in two minutes

Look at the levels of knowledge and skills in the Promoting Excellence learning guides- which level should each worker, or group of workers, aspire to achieve?

What makes you think this? How should you decide?

How can you make this happen?

What are the enablers and barriers?

Can we promote excellence together?
