Newsletter Aug/Sept 2012
Welcome from Dennis Trevarthen
Welcome to the latest newsletter, in fact the first for a long while. There's a brief project update and some new directions. I won't take up too much of your time, promise!
 
Like Steve Jobs, let's keep it simple and use the rule of three.
 
IBSA Project Management Standards Review
Project Management is one of the fastest growing occupational sectors in Australia, with associated rapid growth in demand for skills development and certification.
 
Since early this year I've been travelling the country consulting widely for the IBSA review of the national standards and qualifications in project management. I'm pleased to advise that this work is nearing completion. A major revamp for the Certificate IV in Project Management Practice (proposed) will open up this key national qualification to a broad client base. A new flexible and extended Diploma of Project Management will also see rapid growth over the next few years. 
 
SFIA & IT Capability
IT Skills Capability Model

Facilitation Update
During the last three/four years I have been working with AIM in developing resources and delivering project management training, and consulting, with public and private clients.
 
In particular, I have worked with over 300 persons at the Victorian Department of Transport implementing the Departments' Project Management Framework, which has been a great success.
 
An in-house Diploma of Project Management program has also been finalised with South East Water, through Swinburne University, for over 60 staff.
 
The 'Testimony' box, above, is a snap shot of what some participants in these programs have said. Nice!
 
Until next time
Thanks for taking the time. If you think I may be able to assist with your upcoming projects in any of these or other areas, please email or call and I'd be happy to discuss what is possible.
