Rapid Focus Training

Targeted sessions to sharpen your team’s Infocouncil skills, when and where it matters most.

Upskill your team with confidence

Once you’ve been using Infocouncil for a while, new training needs emerge. Staff changes, workflow updates, or knowledge gaps can all slow down your reporting process. Rapid Focus Training helps you address specific issues quickly, with short, targeted sessions designed to improve accuracy, efficiency, and consistency.

Whether it’s a refresher for long-term users or a deep dive into underused features, we tailor each session to your council’s priorities.

Councils wanting to revisit how they use Infocouncil

Teams training new governance staff or report authors

We focus each session on a specific challenge, feature, or role. That means less time in training and more immediate impact on your team’s performance.

Move beyond the basics. Learn how to unlock time-saving features, optimise your workflows, and avoid common pitfalls that lead to delays and frustration.
