Building Trust in Townsville Leave a Positive Handprint on Your Records
F
inally, after 2 years we were able to hold our yearly conference and all delegates that attended were happy to once again be networking with fellow records and information professionals. We started this conference a little different than usual with an afternoon workshop on Building a Governance Framework which was facilitated by Janine Morris from Datacom. The delegates broke into groups to get our brains thinking about what information governance is and how to create a framework in our own organisations. We then welcomed all delegates to the conference with Welcome Drinks sponsored by ELO and Records Solutions. Owl Member made a guest appearance, and the delegates enjoyed some finger food and drinks while getting to network with other delegates from across the state.

Day two started with an address to all delegates by Meryl Bourke, the Qld Chapter President. Our Keynote Speaker sponsored by FYB, Grant Doyle, from Execforce spoke to us about Leading High Performing Teams. Grant spoke about group dynamics and developing the correct environment to get the best out of your team. To be a successful team you need to be motivated, have trust, honesty, respect, and commitment to try to eliminate the things that demotivate your team. “Focus on the important things”, “Look for opportunities everywhere”, “Keep your own score” and “Create a rhythm of accountability” were key messages to leading teams. After a delicious morning tea which was sponsored by ZircoDATA we received a 5-minute presentation
“FOCUS ON THE IMPORTANT THINGS”, “LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES EVERYWHERE”, “KEEP YOUR OWN SCORE” AND “CREATE A RHYTHM OF ACCOUNTABILITY” WERE KEY MESSAGES TO LEADING TEAMS.
