ICCPM Education Development Industry Engagement Survey

Seeking your participation

You may recall in our paper "Contracting for Success in Complex Projects" we said: “Empirical evidence now exists that implementing approaches and methods appropriate for dealing with complexity, professionalising project teams, and assuring front-end project quality assurance assist in lifting the delivery performance of large/major/complex endeavours; this is encouraging. Studies and testimonials from the UK, Norway and Australia suggest that performance gains in the 5%-10% range are being achieved. However, this still falls short of the 40%-60% performance gap observed across industries and jurisdictions. We must recognise that the benefits of achieving greater levels of success should not only be measured in marginal cost savings but also in the avoidance or minimisation of issues that result from our failure to recognise and therefore manage the complexities in our environment”. To enable organisations to achieve higher levels of success in both business as usual and project delivery we must provide appropriate learning and development opportunities and upskill staff to thrive in our ever-increasing complex environments.

To enable us to have our new course accredited in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) Sector (as we have done with our Cert IV) we are required to demonstrate that we have engaged with our industry stakeholders and we are in fact addressing an industry need.

Your participation in this survey is very much appreciated. Feel free to send us any other feedback, suggestions, ideas that you may have to admin@iccpm.com

Question Title

* 5. As part of our original market research on our initial education strategy, we identified a need for an education pathway from our Certificate IV program to a Diploma level program designed to continually build skills and knowledge required for working in ever increasing complex environments, and in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector development of accredited courses will only be approved if they are meeting an identified industry need. With that in mind please select the most appropriate response from the list below.

The complexity in my industry is increasing and to address it we need access to education products that will enable us to deal with challenges we have not seen or experienced before. Therefore, I see the need for continued development of this type of education including a Diploma level program

My industry is not subject to increasing complexity so therefore I do not see the need for a Diploma level program

I don't know
