It’s been a busy season of varied events with the opportunity to work with lots of different event partners. We would like to thank Gilbert + Tobin, The Executive Centre, AECOM, John Grille Centre, UTS, Torrens Uni and Parramatta council for their support in providing outstanding venues to hold our events.
In keeping with AIPM tradition we celebrated International Women’s Day at the QVB Tea Rooms back in March with guest speaker Ann Garlic, Group Lead, Technology Governance and Control at Westpac.
In April we joined forces with Laissez Faire who catered and joined us for a panel event ‘Can Procurement Deliver social value change’ which opened an interesting discussion around the value of social responsibility in project management.
We commenced our new monthly PMO Community of practice ‘The Artful PMO’ which takes place on the last Thurs evening of each month and brings together senior PMO/EPMO managers and organisational leaders for collaborative conversations in confidence. A panel of experts discuss their experiences, thoughts, and highlight tools and practices that work for them before opening to the floor for questions and debate. At the conclusion of each event, attendees will select the topic to be debated at the gathering-after-next.
Other chapter events during this time were:
- BrainWise Leadership: Mind your mistakes with guest speaker Connie Henson.
- A Local Government Community of Practice
- Influencing and Decision Making with speaker Mark Stewart
- AIPM National Roadshow – The Project Leadership Age
- Leading with Confidence – Lessons from a personal development expert Jaemin Frazer
