The LGMA Management Challenge is Australia’s most sophisticated executive development program for current and emerging local government leaders.  Now in its 17th year, councils from all over Australia and New Zealand have adopted the challenge for its real-life problem solving experiences and hands-on approach to leadership development. 

More than any other seminar or traditional training program, the challenge assists councils to:

• Grow inter-departmental relationships
• Break down silos
• Build capacity
• Attract and retain staff
• Improve organisational culture, and
• Promote team-work

The challenge is held in most capital cities in March each year and is designed to provide relevant learning for all participants, and it does! But don’t take our word for it...
