Executive Development Strategy 3 (EDS3)

AIPM EDS3 incorporates a range of engaging and effective research supported development approaches for middle level managers in police organisations.

It has been purposely designed to reflect the diversity and complexity of the modern organisation in meeting the needs of both high performing and high potential participants.

EDS3 draws upon peer and organisational perspectives of contemporary tensions including policy, operations, executive and team to help participants identify and take responsibility for their own leadership and learning journey.

Capability and Intention

AIPM EDS3 deepens the ability of leaders to engage and mobilise their workplace community in an environment of contemporary technological, operational, generational and cultural change within police and public safety organisations.  Given the speed, scope and immediacy of these challenges, EDS3 identifies learning and new approaches to these middle management (Inspector and Executive level) tensions, contradictions and expectations.

Design

EDS3 offers a diversity of development strategies for the preparation, acceleration, integration, alignment and extension of executive leadership capabilities.

Learning Outcomes

After attending the EDS3 Intensive program, participants will be able to:

• Develop the ability to assess workplace tensions—across personal, team, and system levels—considering competing stakeholder demands and organisational dynamics.
• Gain deeper awareness of how behavioural tendencies influence leadership actions and build the capability to adapt in dynamic, high-stakes environments.
• Encourage deep reflection on personal leadership presence, impact, and mindset—enabling more intentional contributions and influence in complex systems.
• Strengthen adaptive capacity to lead through ambiguity, complexity, and evolving priorities with agility and strategic focus.
• Identify, test, and integrate practical leadership strategies that support outcomes, alignment, and stakeholder engagement in high-pressure or uncertain environments.
• Foster peer accountability, shared learning, and cross-jurisdictional support to amplify leadership impact within the broader public safety community.
