Regular readers of The Strategist<\/em> might note that I\u2019ve been absent from its pages for a while. That\u2019s because I\u2019ve been focusing on a new initiative, ASPI-Education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve started ASPI-Ed for two reasons. First, because we see tailored education as another way of fulfilling our charter responsibility to promote strategic thinking; and second because it provides us with another way of promoting our research.<\/p>\n

We think both are important and will make a real contribution to the level of debate about national security in Australia.<\/p>\n

Our focus in ASPI-Ed courses is on enhancing the judgement of our participants. We want to help our participants think problems through, develop alternatives, analyse options and provide sound and clear advice. We aim to make the learning on each course instantly useful in the workplace.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not exactly new to this game. We\u2019ve been running the Better Policy program<\/a> for the Department of Defence since 2014, and the Defence Graduates Seminar since 2013. Of course, we\u2019ve also conducted different seminar wargames and roundtables that have added to the stock of our capabilities here.<\/p>\n

One of those capabilities is a distinctive pedagogical approach. We create educational experiences that put our participants in work-like situations, and use these as opportunities to apply knowledge and develop new skills. That creates a dynamic, interactive environment for our participants (and our facilitators)\u2014as far as possible from \u2018chalk and talk\u2019 as we can get.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re about to offer our first new course, which I\u2019ve developed along with Richard King of Thinking in Organisations<\/a>. \u2018Creative Thinking for Better Policy\u2019 is a half day, small group workshop that will apply creative thinking tools to practical problems. Registrations are now open<\/a>\u2014and if you\u2019d like more information, please email me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next? We\u2019ll develop some new thinking skills workshops over the next year\u2014these are logical flow-ons from Better Policy. We\u2019re also developing some specialised programs for security managers and policy officers in other areas.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also interested in hearing what ASPI might be able to do for your organisation. If you\u2019d like to talk, please email me direct<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ASPI-Ed will use its skilled staff, unique research base and experience to create learning experiences that will promote better thinking and policy analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
