Introduction
This unit focuses on building both personal and professional capability for change and sustainability. Maintaining sustainable services and supports for individuals, families and communities requires people and organisations to adapt and respond to changes and increasing complexity. This unit will introduce the concepts that underpin the ability of people and organisations to successfully adapt and change, using a contemporary, evolving case study. Opportunities for innovation and future planning will be explored.
In conjunction with the discipline theory, this unit builds on concepts of learning and practice from Year 1 of study by introducing you to more complex learning experiences.
You will be introduced to:
- discipline-based skills and knowledge in dynamic practice situations. This will include authentic and purposeful, industry-related experiences
- concepts of managing effective relationships and communicating with others
- the development and use of adaptive leadership skills and how these skills relate to innovative and entrepreneurial practice
- the nature of responsible, accountable and reflective workplace skills, and creative and critical thinking relevant to professional practice.
