About the Helmsman Institute

Project management is the art and science of managing change.

Whether in the public or private sector, it’s projects that drive business improvement and effective project management that delivers better products, services, technology and infrastructure.

We believe that profound breakthroughs will come when businesses, governments, academic institutions and others work together to tap into diverse points of view and expertise.

Our Mission

To be a world leader in the research and understanding of what makes major projects succeed and fail.

Our goal is to have a measurable impact on Australia's project delivery performance and to develop insights, tools and services that are applicable internationally.

The Institute carries out leading edge and multi-disciplinary research into project management, bringing together scholars and eminent practitioners from around the world in business, policy, engineering, computer science, economics, law, planning, environment and more.

We create a community of knowledge of best practice through our research publications, conferences, seminars, workshops and interactions with practitioners and the public.

Helmsman Services then converts this knowledge into services and advice that help you deliver more successful programs and capitalise on empirical evidence not available elsewhere.
