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.
