Overview
The 70:20:10 framework is widely used across the Australian public sector to help organisations develop capability. Although the framework is popular and well regarded, there's little research into its effectiveness. Researchers from the Public Service Research Group have spoken with 145 public sector managers to understand the effectiveness of middle management development programs aligned to the 70:20:10 framework.
During the program, we'll share our research findings and offer recommendations to improve the return on investment and transfer of learning from management and leadership programs to the workplace, through a more effective use of the 70:20:10 framework.
