THE AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT LIMITED
(ACN 102 908 118)
BOARD MEETING 29 SEPTEMBER 2005 – CASE TEACHING WORKSHOP
PURPOSE
1. To inform the Board about a case teaching workshop to be offered by the
School.
DISCUSSION
2. The case program is proceeding well, with many cases developed, as reported
to the Board at the meeting on 4 August . Considerable work has been done on
developing writers through case writing workshops. Workshops led by Professor
Jim Erskine of the Ivey Business School were held in Wellington and Melbourne
in February 2005.
3. In relation to case teaching, a successful seminar was conducted in Sydney in
September 2003, led by Professor Bob Behn of the Kennedy School of
Government. In 2005, the School funded travel by Dr Janine O’Flynn from the
University of Canberra to Seattle to participate in the annual case teaching
workshop conducted by the Electronic Hallway, based at the Daniel J. Evans
School of Public Affairs, University of Washington. She reported that this was a
very valuable experience which would be of great use for ANZSOG teachers.
4. It is felt that further professional development in case teaching will increase the
skills of all participants and assist with improvement in ANZSOG programs. A
workshop will be held at the Melbourne Business School in early 2006. It will be
conducted by John Boehrer, who leads the Electronic Hallway workshops, with
the assistance of Professor Mark Moore from the Kennedy School.
5. An outline of the program is included in the paper. The workshop will be over 3
½ days from 31 January to 3 February.
RECOMMENDATION
6. That the Board note this report.
