Agribusiness Management Development Program
Grow your own talent
Prepare your next generation of leaders and win the war for talent
8/3/2019 AMDP Brochure - Australia
2/7
We are excited to bring you the inaugural Agribusiness Management Development Program (AMDP) incollaboration with our riends at The University o Adelaide; one o the worlds nest learning institutions. Also,
what better place to spend a ew days brushing up on your skills than along the River Torrens university
precinct in the heart o the city o Adelaide; a popular study destination or people rom all over the world.
Our vision has been to do whatever we need, to help grow local agribusiness and to create economic
advantages or the rural and regional communities in which these organisations are based. Quite simply, we
want the educated young proessionals working back in the bush. Thanks to the impact o innovation, this
mission is taking many orms and now includes a high-calibre management development pathway or middle-
to-senior leaders in small to medium agribusiness.
Lets be honest; virtually every business says that people are its most important asset, but too ew actually do
anything about it. Human capital is treated as a cost rather than an asset. So as the agricultural industry calls
or more innovation out in the paddock, a silent epidemic is hurting productivity back at the oce. Too many
people have exited or chosen not to begin a career in the agricultural industry. As generations go by, this is
creating a shortage o educated young proessionals moving up the ranks rom within.
Unortunately, the oce or the boardroom is very rarely (i at all) considered when the industry talks about
increasing productivity. Whats the cost? Well, we could miss the chance o truly maximising the opportunities
o the emerging ood and bre boom, because the industry couldnt mobilise the succession o leaders
required to take it on, in an increasingly sophisticated and complex business environment.
Attracting talent is the biggest priority or agribusiness. So where will our next agribusiness leaders come rom?
Hey - why not grow your own!
The AMDP is something that will constantly evolve as the agricultural industry continues to adapt to changes in
global markets. So heres your chance to participate together with other like-minded agribusiness managers
rom dierent segments o the industry and leave your contribution or uture participants. In return, i we can
play a role in helping you reach your own personal objectives and organisational goals then our mission is
complete.
Welcome to a new era in executive education or agribusiness - we look orward to meeting you.
