We recently joined an event aimed at consulting with Aboriginal community-controlled organisations (ACCOs) across SA. We wanted to dive into a few key things: -Figuring out what's working well and what's strong in the ACCO sector right now. -Hearing about where ACCOs want to go in the future and who they want to team up with. -Finding out what's helping or holding back the growth and lasting power of the ACCO scene. We had Bill from KSJ Consulting Service facilitate the session, a totally Aboriginal-run business, who are leading workshops all over the state. We encourage all ACCOs in South Australia to jump in and share their thoughts in this vital process. Your input is super important because it'll help in two big ways: -Shaping a government framework that'll guide agencies on how to better connect with ACCOs and pump more funding into the sector ("the Framework"). -Helping craft an ACCO sector Strategic Plan that'll map out where the sector's at now and what areas need to grow and get stronger ("the ACCO sector Strategic Plan"). There are still some workshops to attend until engagement closes on 24th May so get involved and find out more by visiting our website: https://lnkd.in/gHi2KdpA #arabana #ACCO #KSJconsulting #workshops #engagement #consultancy

I’m excited (and a bit nervous!) to attend my first Employee Ownership Association (eoa) conference next month. Seeing how last year’s attendees brought back valuable perspectives that have impacted Rubicon inspired me to explore ways I can deepen my role as an Employee Trustee. This conference will be a great opportunity to connect with other trustees and hear about their experiences, all of which will help strengthen our employee-owned culture. I’m especially looking forward to supporting Jess Comolly-Jones REC CMI as she sits on the panel session – ‘How much information should we be sharing?’ – a topic central to building trust and transparency. My schedule includes sessions on: - Becoming an Effective Employee Trustee - How Much Information Should We Be Sharing? - Succession: Managing the Founder Relationship as They Exit - Financial Freedom: What Does It Mean for Us? Looking forward to bringing back knowledge we can apply within Rubicon! #employeeownership #employeetrustees #EOA2024

So you just got a new portfolio, a new PI and they have employees that need onboarding, salaries that need to be looked at, some outstanding items that need to be covered, and a slew of grants you need to get up to speed on, figure out where you're at and then keep the flow moving. This is a challenging task for RAs who have been doing this for years - but what if this is your first PI? Or the 2nd institution you've ever worked at? You may be looking at this pile and wondering what the heck you do with it it all and how to at the bare minimum figure out what the situation with this PIs grants are. In this video I walk you through some of my first step items when I take over a portfolio. This is a great primer for anyone who has just taken over a new PI looking for a general sense of direction before the plane takes off https://lnkd.in/eUxEA5Vk
