2008 LGMA Management Challenge
The LGMA Management Challenge is a sophisticated developmental programme that produces outcomes that are relevant, tangible and enduring benefits for your people, your teams and your organisation.
It's also good fun, great value and highly effective training. Your Council could join the many Australian and New Zealand Councils that have made it part of their HR Development Programme.
Teams of five or six members, with the aid of an in house mentor and a detailed Mentor's kit, spend a few hours in the weeks preceding the Challenge to develop team skills, get to know each others strengths and plan their strategies. The professional development has already begun and they will be engaging real issues in their own authority.
Teams come together to apply their skills to tasks that typify management in the local government environment. The tasks are crafted to develop individual and team competencies in predetermined management areas.
Detailed and targeted reports from professional facilitators provide the basis for workplace debriefing and application of learning outcomes to the workplace. The team receives a personal debrief from the facilitator.
The best performed team in each State and New Zealand will contest the Australasian final. The Australasian final will be on the Gold Coast, Queensland on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 May 2008.
The LGMA Management Challenge is designed to deliver personal, team and organisational development. It is based on relevant material suggested by practitioners, effective management practices and translation of outcomes into the workplace.
More than any seminar or traditional training programme, the Challenge provides effective staff development through participative learning. And the investment required for this quality training programme, translates into extraordinarily good value.
