ICCPM is pleased to join with the University of Technology Sydney in awarding a prize that will recognise academic excellence in project management. The prize will be presented annually to the student of the Master of Project Management course who achieves the highest grade in the Managing Project Complexity subject.  This is a five year agreement and demonstrates a long term commitment to the relationship between UTS and ICCPM and to further education in the project management space.

ICCPM MD/CEO Deborah Hein said, “Academic excellence in Managing Project Complexity is the most appropriate subject for ICCPM to sponsor in any program, we have been a very long term supporter of all education in the complex project space.  I am hopeful that by encouraging and recognising graduates with such a prize we might inspire the graduates to work to become some of the best practitioners in the world.  I am hopeful that one day we may see one of these graduates managing something like the Joint Strike Fighter, Future Submarines, High Speed Rail or other projects of national significance, and potentially become a Fellow of ICCPM”.

Dr Chivonne Algeo, Course Director of the Master of Project Management program at UTS said, “A robust relationship between industry and the courses student’s study is invaluable for achieving mutually beneficial outcomes. The ICCPM have recognised the value of rewarding exceptional performance in the area of project complexity by supporting a student who has mastered this area of study. The opportunity for students to connect with professional associations like the ICCPM is beneficial to all responsible for delivering project outcomes in an increasingly complex and dynamic world”.

The International Centre for Complex Project Management (ICCPM) is a partner and membership based not-for-profit organisation utilising global networks to facilitate research and disseminate knowledge about complexity; to develop and deliver complexity education products for practitioners; and to connect practitioners and subject matter experts with business and government to improve internal organisational capability.

The ICCPM Vision is ‘to be the internationally recognised body, building capability in organisations to deal with complex environments’.  ICCPM delivers this vision through Stakeholder Relationships, Thought Leadership, Education and Solution Services.

The post-graduate project management degrees offered at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are internationally recognised and certified degrees providing a pathway into specialised project management roles, or advancement to project and program director positions. Students have the unique opportunity to develop a specialised skill set by choosing a sub-major in business, construction, engineering, IT, local government management, or health. This approach provides students with the opportunity to combine project management disciplines with sector-focused knowledge. The course incorporates UTS’s block teaching approach, which creates an immersive environment where students work with their peers in a team-based, simulated project environment.
