Tully Sugar Industry project : Working for our future, phase 2

Abstract

The project utilised services of Organisational Psychologist Ian Plowman, to build capacity for change and develop the management ability of a number of participants in the Tully Sugar Industry.

The project was running immediately prior to the development of the Tully District Strategic plan and the District Productivity Plan. The project was able to provide a range of skills to 38 industry participants from growing, harvesting and milling sectors and provide them with project management tools and experience.

Workshops were conducted to demonstrate a number of tools, which could be used in reaching decisions within a group structure while managing time and minimising conflict. The project produced an increased number of people in the Tully Sugar Industry who are more aware of project management and who can now utilise a number of tools to arrive at group decisions.
