The vision of DMO becoming Australia ’s premier project management organisation drew closer this month with several of our projects being awarded top honours by state chapters of the Australian Institute of Project Management.

The Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) state chapters held their project management achievement awards throughout August and early September, offering us an opportunity to showcase DMO excellence in project management.

In all, eleven DMO projects were in contention and all embodied the qualities of DMO’s professionalisation program. The projects also characterised the depth and spread of our core business – to equip and sustain the ADF - with a healthy representation of projects from Aerospace, Maritime, Land and Electronic and Weapons Systems domains.

According to Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Norm Gray, the AIPM judges were taken aback by the monetary value, the scale and scope and the complexity of the DMO projects included in the award submissions.

‘The judges found it challenging to rate, and therefore assess against other project submissions, many of the DMO projects,’ said Mr Gray

‘They were astounded by the intricacy and level of sophistication and involved detail among the projects, an issue which keenly validates our drive to professionalise our workforce. Our across the board success also shows how far we have come along that journey’.
