Government regulates almost every aspect of our lives, and government spending represents almost one quarter of all spending in Australia. Whether tax, industrial relations, or industry specific issues, having an engaged and informed board around working with, campaigning to, or engagement with government is a critical success factor for business, not-for-profits, and organisations generally.
This session will step through key challenges, opportunities and insights, as well as provide participants key takeaways and ’to-do’ lists to ensure your board is ready and engaged for whatever challenges or opportunities government presents.
