President’s message
Thank you to those who urged me to run for a second term. I have, however,
chosen not to for a number of reasons.
The two main ones are that since my election I have become involved in a multi-
billion dollar project and the responsibilities will not allow me to pay justice to the
important role of the AIPM National President.
Secondly, after two years as President and two as Vice President, it’s time to move
on. I firmly believe these voluntary positions require fresh ideas and new blood
and it would be selfish to occupy them for too long.
At the start of my tenure I promised to treat the presidency as a project and
provide regular updates and performance reviews, as well as a project close off
report. I am dedicating my last president’s message to this. My intention is not self
promotion, but to provide a scorecard that would ensure growth continues.
Membership
AIPM reached the 5,000 members plus milestone in the last few months, a 39 per
cent increase last year alone, assisted by the significant increase in corporate
membership, now 116 and a 38 per cent increase last year. RegPM awards have
also reached an all time high of just below 3,000 with a 52 per cent increase last
year, and the Project Managed Organisation Award has been awarded to about 13
organisations.
There is definitely cause to celebrate these. However, the project management
profession is young and continues to grow quickly, so the AIPM has the potential
to grow even further. Our business plan aims at doubling our membership by
2008 – an ambitious target, but one that, if achieved, will highlight even further
the value and relevance of the AIPM to project management practitioners.
Some actions put in place to enable us to reach this target are:
(cid:129) appointment of a Marketing Manager to focus on promoting AIPM to
corporations and government agencies
(cid:129) development of a national marketing plan and a communication plan along with
new marketing materials, aimed at explaining the suite of AIPM products and
services to potential members
(cid:129) improving the website and expanding the Information Resources Centre.
Financial health
It is pleasing to report that the institute has significantly increased its financial
health with annual turnover (revenue) doubling to just over $2 million in the last
couple of years. Our total increase in equity (profit) and net assets have also seen a
healthy increase, and our cash reserves are substantial enough to allow us to invest
in staff, marketing, systems, products and events that will allow us to grow further
into the future.
Governance, structure and administration
As a small-to-medium enterprise with an annual turnover in excess of $2 million,
our governance charter, policies and codes of conduct that were put in place when
the institute was originally established were becoming out of date and needed a
serious overhaul. This process was undertaken last year. The team at national
office has been replaced and a number of new positions created to ensure the
office can provide better service to all membership categories.
Incentive based contracts have been set for staff to enforce a customer service
ethos and provide better accessibility to members. An investment was made in new
