Canberra: Industry Capability Network (ICN) and the International Centre for Complex Project Management (ICCPM) are pleased to announce a new partnership to help Australian businesses improve their capability to deliver complex projects successfully and position them to win higher value contracts.
ICCPM is a global leader in education and thought leadership for complex project management. Its expertise will enhance ICN’s ongoing mission to support Australian industry participation in large-scale, multifaceted projects across defence, infrastructure, energy, and construction.
“This partnership is a natural alignment of strengths,” said Louise Wakefield, Executive General Manager, ICN National Office. “ICCPM brings deep expertise in complex project environments, while ICN connects capable Australian suppliers with major projects. Together, we can better equip businesses to navigate complexity and deliver value.”
For more than 40 years, ICN has played a vital role in strengthening local supply chains by connecting small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with procurement opportunities. At the heart of this work is Gateway by ICN, our digital platform that links suppliers with real-time project opportunities and helps project owners meet local content requirements.
Through this partnership, ICN and ICCPM will explore opportunities to share insights, deliver joint initiatives, and strengthen the capabilities of Australian businesses involved in complex project delivery.
“Delivering complex projects successfully requires not just technical expertise, but also systems thinking, leadership, and the ability to manage uncertainty,” said Collin Smith, Managing Director and CEO ICCPM . “By partnering with ICN, we can help more businesses build those capabilities from the ground up.”
