LGP, in partnership with World Commerce & Contracting, is pleased to invite you to a short, informative webinar introducing our upcoming national research project and what it means for organisations operating across procurement, contracting and commercial management.
This 45-minute session will provide an early look at the purpose, scope and direction of the research, designed to support better commercial decision-making and practical outcomes across the sector. It is an opportunity to understand not only what the research will explore, but why it matters and how it will be applied.
Why this research matters
As councils and suppliers across Australia face growing complexity — balancing commercial performance, sustainability objectives, regulatory expectations and long-term value — there is increasing demand for clear, evidence-based insight into what works in practice and where capability gaps remain.
The upcoming LGP research responds directly to this need. Developed in collaboration with World Commerce & Contracting, it will examine current approaches, emerging trends and real-world experiences to build a robust evidence base that can inform strategy, policy and practice.
What the webinar will cover
During the session, speakers will outline:
- The purpose and objectives of the research
- The scope and methodology, including how insights will be gathered
- The anticipated outputs and how findings will be shared
- The research timeline and opportunities for engagement
There will also be time for questions.
Speakers
- Bronwyn Challis, Head of Business Development, Local Government Procurement
- Sally Guyer, Global CEO, World Commerce & Contracting
Who should attend?
This webinar is relevant for professionals involved in procurement, contracting, commercial strategy, sustainability and governance, as well as suppliers working with local government.
