CEDA’s interactive learning programs and workshops develop your critical thinking, build your leadership acumen and increase your understanding of public policy for application in an increasingly competitive business environment.
CEDA’s programs and workshops give you access to Australia’s top business leaders and subject matter experts, and place you in a network of emerging professionals from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
Enrolments are limited to ensure an in-depth and personalised experience with content relevant to your learning.
CEDA Learning offers three programs:
The Copland Leadership Program has been offered for over 10 years, gaining acclaim for its stimulating content and high-calibre speakers. Over several sessions conducted by leaders in business, government and the NFP sector, participants will gain new perspectives and insights into critical leadership challenges; develop critical thinking skills needed to solve complex business problems; and network with fellow emerging leaders.
Public Policy Dynamics is a one day workshop designed to deepen your knowledge of how public policy impacts your workplace and community and equip you to play a more active role on policy issues. Participants in the workshop will hear from CEDA’s leading economists on key public policy concepts and their connection to social and economic development; the main drivers of policy; and the key ingredients of good public policy and its administration.
CEDA also offers economic briefings delivered directly to your team that give your organisation insights on the economic and policy trends shaping your business.
CEDA Learning programs and workshops are available to CEDA members at member rates and are also available to non-members. Economic briefings are offered exclusively to members. Currently, CEDA learning programs are delivered face to face.

Whether considering the implications of climate change or unpacking the government response to COVID-19, public policy is becoming an increasingly engrained part of daily life.
As more employees and customers expect business to prioritise environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) commitments and engage in debates, public policy knowledge is now also a significant asset in the workplace.
CEDA’s Public Policy Dynamics workshop will equip you to play a more active role on policy issues, positioning you to shape economic and social outcomes for the greater good.
The Public Policy Dynamics workshop will:
- introduce key public policy concepts and their connection to social and economic development;
- highlight the main drivers of public policy;
- identify the ingredients of good public policy and its administration, and
- consider the environment in which policy is made.
This course is designed for anyone looking to understand public policy, deepen their knowledge of how public policy impacts their workplace and their community, and for those seeking to demonstrate purpose, leadership, and influence in the public policy world.
Enrolments will open soon for Public Policy Dynamics to be delivered in Perth on 16 September, with an introductory networking session on the afternoon prior.
In an interactive environment working alongside peers from across CEDA’s broad-based network, participants can expect:
- Expert guidance from workshop co-facilitators Dianna Vitasovic, Strategic leadership coach and Adj. Prof Jarrod Ball, CEDA’s Chief Economist and head of CEDA’s research and policy program;
- Leadership insights from a guest speaker on shaping public policy; and
- The chance to work collaboratively through a public policy case study to identify how contemporary policy issues may impact your organisation and to formulate an appropriate response
Additional workshops will be delivered across Australia late 2021 and early 2022 – contact Julia Tolj for more information.
