WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US

"As founder members of the Network, we have always valued the independence and integrity of Human Systems' consultants in focusing on the best ways for us to achieve our corporate goals. The Network offers us a global view of project practices in organisations that could be similar, or might be operating in completely different markets. This is not only valuable for performance monitoring, but is an excellent way to accelerate the learning we can achieve within the company."

"We have benefited, and continue to benefit from Human Systems Knowledge Networks - especially in improved team performance and project success." 

"Human Systems workshops are great. The open and honest exchange of experiences means that we not only share our own successes but also pick up hints, tips, ideas and options that we can incorporate into the way we work. The Intranet is another common source of information that we can use to feed our own initiatives."

"The Network has provided an excellent opportunity to network with other project management organisations from a range of industries in Australia and overseas. The exposure to different approaches to project management processes and many international experts through the Network has helped our organisation to improve its own approach. This has included development of our Project Management Office, improvements to our estimating processes, use of technology in project management and project management competencies. Network meetings, tools, web site, forums and contacts with other organisations provide loads of useful information."

"Membership of the Network confers a number of important benefits.  Firstly, it allows participants to gain an understanding of what does constitute contemporary best practice across the broad spectrum of program and project delivery. Secondly, participants gain a reassuring sense that they are not alone - other organisations will have similar issues to your own and you will also have the opportunity to learn from examples where organisations have materially improved aspects of their project delivery capability.  Finally, by sharing information between participants, some of the abundant theory surrounding project management is transferred into the realm of practical application."

"Thought leadership is a phrase rapidly growing in currency, but very few people stand out as being worthy of the title. However, Terry J. Cooke-Davies, Executive Chairman of Human Systems, has a claim to the title for his work over the past 20 years culminating in the creation of benchmarking forums for blue-chip companies to discuss and learn the best of pm.

Through this family of project management knowledge networks, he is in close touch with the best project management practices of more than 100 leading organisations globally."

"I found the workshop to be extremely informative and value-adding and can see clear and tangible advantages in being a member. I very much enjoyed the experience . . . Thank you!"

"Country Energy has participated in the PacRim2 benchmarking network since its commencement in 2000. This was initially as Great Southern Energy until amalgamation with Northpower and Advance Energy in July 2001. "The Network has been very beneficial in providing an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of project management within the organisation.  This is coupled with peer review amongst leading organisations in Australia, Europe and recently North America. "Country Energy staff have found the workshops an excellent opportunity to learn and share project management techniques and methodologies with a wide range of industries."
