  • 2027 Management Challenge

    • 12 May 2027
    • 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
    • Tailrace Centre - 1 Waterfront Drive, Riverside TAS 7250
    Register

    The Management Challenge is a simulation-based team building, learning and networking program using real local government themes - the types of issues that a senior management team in a council would most likely face.

    The teams are challenged to respond to a series of tasks in a unique one-day, fast paced, ‘pressure cooker’ environment. Some tasks will require written responses (such as a council report or recommendation document), and some will take the form of role plays or presentations and the teams are also scored on observations of how well they display energy, synergy, effectiveness and creative thinking.
