Contract Management Skills for Local Government

A Tailored Contract Management Skills for Local Government makes financial sense. We only run a handful of these niche courses every year across Australia for councils. When you think of the costs associated with some of the LG contracts, we’re always surprised more local councils haven’t jumped on board this bespoke contract management training course.

The role of the contract manager in LG has changed dramatically. New responsibilities get tacked onto the role with an alarming frequency. So this course was designed to modernise the skill set of contract managers. Participants will also discover how to build better relationships with vendors. These stronger relationships will help buffer the differences that arise in the contract. Working with your contractors towards mutual goals is far better then butting heads at every step!

Dr Marny Lishman crated an amazing space that not only was open, safe and caring, but gave insight into many different aspects of resilience. She apprieciated different perspectives and opened discussions that were supported and wise. The presentation was targeted and had the perfect balance of knowledge and reflection.
