The Australia-Indonesia Leadership and Management Program

ANZSOG’s Australia-Indonesia Leadership and Management Program (AILMP) was developed jointly with Indonesian government organisations to address the specific needs of public service leaders and managers in Indonesia and to deal with what they identified as urgent reform issues.

The pilot AILMP, delivered in 2010, comprised four stages: Stage 1, a two-day Orientation Workshop in Jakarta, Stage 2, a two-week Leading and Managing Reform Workshop in Canberra, Stage 3, implementation of a group ‘work-based’ project on reform, and Stage 4, a one-week Review Workshop in Jakarta. 

The pedagogical elements of AILMP were carefully designed to maximise the opportunities for learning and for the continuation of learning into the future. In line with the ANZSOG teaching philosophy, learning on the AILMP was based on interaction, drawing on the experience, perspectives and insights of the participants through expertly facilitated discussion and through the presentation of ideas and concepts within a rigorous academic framework. This approach is based on the understanding that there is much that participants can teach each other and that the best way to achieve this is to encourage active participation in the program.

The interactive style and residential nature of the workshops, along with the development and implementation of the group work-based project, fostered strong professional networks among participants, leading to the development of an active network of reform-minded individuals in senior levels of the Indonesian public service.

ANZSOG continues to strive to facilitate opportunities for networking, and opportunities to nurture and build on the unique bond developed between participants, faculty, mentors and Australian counterparts throughout the program. We are pleased to provide the AILMP alumni with access to a customised social networking site and a dedicated section within the School’s website.

In January 2012, ANZSOG delivered the inaugural AILMP Alumni Workshop.
