Welcome to LGC Challenge 2010
Local government is facing an era of unprecedented levels of change. With the new government announcing that a £1.2bn reduction in the local government grant is to be expected, it is clear that money will be tight and changes will be needed. It is therefore more important than ever to have a workforce that can lead your organisation through the years ahead.
To watch the highlights from last year’s LGC Challenge, click on the video below.
The LGC Challenge enables you to put your future leaders through rigorous management training, enhance their strategic awareness and allow room for innovation, all within a safe environment.
Under the guidance of our expert assessors, your team will have to consider how to respond to financial pressures, how to gain the most from partnership working and how the role of councils is evolving. They will come away with a new level of understanding of the pressures facing a management team, with real workable ideas that they will be prepared to put into practice back in your organisation.

Testimonials
"We saw it as a good opportunity for teams, and more junior managers within teams, to act as a real management team to deal with real life local government issues."
Raffaela Goodby, Birmingham City Council
"Today’s been a really enjoyable experience, very hard work but very worthwhile and I’ll be taking a lot back with me to my work. It’s all about the taking part, not the winning!"
Helen Oakerbee, London Borough of Havering
Testimonials
"The way it’s structured in terms of developing strategies, engaging with politicians and presenting their vision for a council is an absolutely fantastic opportunity for people to learn and grow."
Leatham Green, East Sussex County Council
"We’re not high level managers, we’re here to understand the wider implications of what we’re doing and I think we’ve definitely done that."
Clare Hardy, Staffordshire County Council
