On 1 January 2016, the International Centre for Complex Project Management (ICCPM) joined with telecommunications provider, Telstra in a partnership that will see them work together to optimise the delivery of complex projects and increase capabilities and knowledge sharing across the profession.

ICCPM Managing Director and CEO Deborah Hein said Telstra joining ICCPM reflects the increasing diversity across the corporate network.

“It is exciting to welcome Telstra to our growing network, although not the first non-defence organisation to be part of ICCPM, Telstra is the first telco and technology based company to join.  The recent appointment of Telstra CEO Andy Penn as an Honorary Fellow of Australian Institute of Project Management, Chief Project Officer Alicia Aitken’s appointment to the ICCPM Board, and now this partnership, demonstrate Telstra’s thought leadership in project management and in particular, complex projects.”

Telstra Executive Director, David Boyes said the partnership between Telstra and ICCPM showed Telstra’s commitment to delivering complex projects for its customers, using contemporary project management practices.

“We look forward to be deepening our relationship with the Australian Defence Industry and forging new ties with other organisations working on complex projects.”

ICCPM is a professional organisation (network) that welcomes partners and members who have an interest in working toward better outcomes for society in the delivery of complex projects and programs.  These outcomes can be linked to increased productivity, reduced failure (personally, professionally and organisationally), better budget outcomes, and most importantly increased levels of capability.  Individuals and companies belong to ICCPM in order to access the latest education and academic advancements, networking across organisations to share lessons and knowledge, and building a cohort that together can address some of the most complex projects in history.  Belonging to the ICCPM network encourages individual members and corporations to engage in continuing professional development to increase their capability to manage complex projects.
