A huge thanks to the following people from me.

The following extremely busy people have been kind enough to volunteer some time and present their expertise at the inaugural Australian Agribusiness Management Development Program (AMDP) at The University of Adelaide in August 2012:


- Ms Roseanne Healy
- Mr Malcolm Jackman
- Mr Perry Gunner
- Mr Paul Daniel


They lead and represent our agribusiness industry to the highest levels on the national and international stage.  I can't wait to rip into some great discussions/debates with our guest presenters and program participants about all things agribusiness - here and abroad.


It's been a massive task to get this program off the ground; but our leaders know that this industry needs it and needs it now - hence their generosity.  So once again, thanks.


I recently spoke with one of the Big 4 agribusiness lenders.  They told me that one of the biggest challenges their continued relationship with the Australian agribusiness industry is facing, is the lack of management depth and capability.


Launching something new is never easy.  It's even harder when encouraging people to change their attitude is a key element of that process.


Our leaders think we need to change our attitude.  The banks think we need to change our attitude.


What do you think?
