Welcome from CEO

Australia enjoys one of the world’s highest living standards, due in no small part to the enterprise, ingenuity and dedication of Australia’s management talent, and a long held belief that a highly educated workforce is one of our best guarantees of maintaining our competitiveness on the world stage.

The current state of the local and international economies provides a compelling reason for individuals to invest in themselves and for businesses to invest in their teams.Competing in global markets, defending local markets, changing population demographics and environmental sustainability are but a few of the challenges we face and the better educated we are the more we are able to face these challenges.

From modest beginnings in the mid 20th century the Australian Institute of Management has grown to become Australia’s largest management organisation, and an indispensable partner for many thousands of individuals and organisations managing the increasingly complex nature of building careers and businesses.

We believe that the comprehensive range of services we offer to our Members and the broader business community are more relevant and more meaningful today than at any time in the past. The need for management to have a ready source of world-class business knowledge and know-how is essential if Australia is to maintain its competitiveness.

Whether you’re a new business starting out or an established household name, a new manager on the first rung of the career ladder, or in senior management, we hope we can become your knowledge partner, and help you gain competitive advantage for yourself, your organisation, and Australia.
