ICCPM and IACCM are very pleased to announce Brooke as the event sponsor for the Canberra and Melbourne Roundtables.

“We are very excited about the upcoming Australian Roundtables after a very successful initial roundtable in Canada in mid-May.  Experience and research tells us that successful project outcomes depend on the right forms of contract and supporting contract management.  Too often, those in

project management and those in contract/commercial management experience similar challenges yet do not combine their efforts or resources to drive improvement.  This initiative seeks to bring together the collective wisdom of senior leaders to share perspectives and confirm the issues that currently prevent contract and project alignment, and to create specific and practical steps that will drive major improvement, with the principal outcome being a clear definition of further action required. The support of Brooke as the event sponsor for two of the Australian Roundtables will greatly enhance the success of the events.  I am very hopeful that this sponsorship will be start of a great relationship between our organisations,” said Deborah Hein, CEO of ICCPM.

“IACCM research has for many years shown the importance of improving commercial capabilities the importance of contracts being fit for purpose and the need for a greater  focus on outcomes not inputs. The coming together of the communities of contract management, commercial and project management to discuss these critical issues in the realm of complex projects, offers an exciting leap forward towards the ending of project failures and contract inadequacies”, said Jennie Vickers Director Australia and New Zealand IACCM.

“The ICCPM Roundtable events not only stimulate world-class thought-leadership, but are instrumental in bringing attention to specific issues that will help practitioners deliver greater future success in the complex projects they manage. Overall, contracts, and the relationships that underpin them, are key to the delivery of successful projects and need to be high on the agenda,” said Brett Ackroyd, Brooke Partner and Contract Design and Commercial Management Lead.
