Overview

Welcome to Australia’s UNIQUE Strategic Information & Resources Framework training program!
An ALC exclusivity!

The world market will only need low skilled, mid skilled and high skilled jobs. And automation will take care of the mid skilled workforce… So, what are the high skilled jobs about?

  • Cognitive flexibility
  • Negotiation
  • Judgement and decision-making
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Coordinating with others (tools, capabilities and frameworks)
  • People management
  • Creativity
  • Critical thinking
  • Complex problem-solving

As a Project Manager or a Strategic Planner:

  • Have you ever felt that you had forgotten something important during your project planning?
  • Have you ever wondered where to start and can’t come up with an easy answer?
  • Or how do you ensure a logical progression throughout your process?

As a Staff member:

  • Have you ensured that your work aligns with the department’s vision and strategies?
  • Have you wondered how you can add value in one or more service domains?
  • Or what types of initiatives should apply and why (Create, Change, Maintain)?

The S.I.R.F. Certified Course

  • The S.I.R.F. is a proven strategic enterprise design and shaping tool for executives, managers, architects, and all business corps, which contribute to running the business successfully.
  • The S.I.R.F. methodology and framework is to be used in leading organisations to improve business efficiency.
  • The S.I.R.F. is a framework which consists of a thinking methodology and a diagram with guidance allowing the generation of bespoke artefacts and processes.

The diagram itself is mature and quasi-immutable but the framework however stays in tune with the contemporary work we live in and addresses issues we can be facing at some stage in our workplace.

It is essential to realise that as much as the S.I.R.F. is some sort of Swiss tool for strategising our work and life, it needs YOU as the capability required to build and customise it so it does fit just right!

The course is structured into 26 modules covering major subjects like what SIRF does and does not and how the S.I.R.F. simplifies and cements the application and optimisation of critical business tools.

Find out what strikes your interest and focus on that path to achieve the ultimate goal of Daniel Pinks 3 great motivators. The S.I.R.F. will help you chose the right path for you.

This course will answer such questions like:

  • So many choices out there, how do I keep the focus on the right target?
  • Is there some kind of unifying “equation” to address everything in the enterprise, in life, basically everywhere really?
  • Why the S.I.R.F. if we have all the other methods, frameworks and best practices already?
