PGCS 2024 Symposium Overview 

Capability matters!

PGCS 2024 is designed to accelerate your capability to deliver viable project outcomes Capability matters in all aspects of project and program management. Capable people are needed to deliver success, supported by capable systems, policies, and procedures, all focused on creating viable project outcomes for the organization.

PGCS 2024 will look at capability from every angle, from using Capabilities-Based Planning to optimize the specifications for a new product or service, through the capabilities needed to accelerate the delivery of projects and programs in a complex and volatile environment, to the design of the PGCS program which is focused on enhancing the capabilities of attendees to succeed in their careers. PGCS is the ideal opportunity to grow your knowledge and learn how to apply it effectively by being involved, attending the sessions, and then interacting with our presenters and your colleagues through the symposium's range of networking opportunities.

PGCS is unique in Australia

Investing in our profession!

PGCS is the only organisation focused on enhancing an organisation's ability to govern its projects and programs by improving the capability and integration of both its project controls and governance functions. We achieve this in three ways:
  

A unique focus on project management, governance and controls

PGCS is simultaneously a major event for Australia's project management professionals and for their senior managers responsible for organisational governance. 

The Symposium is designed to provide a unique learning experience - see more. 

Our corporate structure is deliberately light - see about us. 

We are not-for-profit, all surpluses are invested in education and research in Australasia - see more on our research grants.  

Working to develop Australian skills

- Bringing international thought leaders from Europe and the USA to participate in the symposium.

- A strong focus on Australian academic development.

- Organising one-on-one meetings between our visiting keynotes and Australian leaders.

- Publishing the symposium materials, for public access, in our library.

- Including masterclasses from international experts in the program (see this year's program). 

- All money raised by PGCS is reinvested in our events and our academic grants program. 

Providing an open forum for the exchange of ideas

We do not seek to compete with member based organisations, PGCS policy is to network with and support all organisations focused on developing the profession of project management world-wide. See below.
