Our award-winning range of postgraduate education programs, online courses, short courses, executive professional development courses, and custom courses for organisations use innovative, problem-based and experiential educational approaches, to build the capacity of future water leaders.
Our organisational partnerships are highly collaborative and our solutions are designed to provide practically-focused input while building the institutional capacity of the partner organisation.
We lead whole-of-water cycle, transdisciplinary and collaborative research activities, which address current and emerging water issues to influence water management and policy, education and leadership.
This paper examines how a range of leadership development initiatives can be used to assist the transition from traditional to more sustainable forms of water management in Australia. It also examines the role of water educators in this process. The paper seeks to build awareness of the importance of leadership capacity in driving change, highlights opportunities to build this capacity amongst several different stakeholder groups, and describes common methods. It also profiles some recent leadership development initiatives in the Australian water sector. It concludes by suggesting some practical steps educators and other practitioners in the water sector can take to continue to build this form of institutional capacity.
