William Angliss Institute (Angliss) is Australia’s largest and leading specialist training provider in foods, tourism, hospitality and events. Angliss delivers educational excellence from short courses and certificates through to bachelors and masters degrees and is an accredited non-university Higher Education provider.
Angliss engaged a consultant team in early 2024 to design, document and deliver the project under a traditional lump sum procurement. Funding was provided via both the State Government and William Angliss Institute.
Johnstaff was engaged to provide project management services for all phases of the Project. Johnstaff’s role included collaboration with both Angliss and Office of TAFE Coordination and Delivery (OTCD) in a combined funding model. Hence the requirement to meet both Angliss and the OTCD’s Victorian Government Funding Agreement requirements and governance framework.
As project leader, Johnstaff was tasked with motivating and managing the consultant team to achieve the best possible outcome for William Angliss Institute and deliver on all of the project objectives (i.e. design fit for purpose, delivered on time, and on budget).
Quickly following appointment, Johnstaff identified that the budget and expectations did not align. Johnstaff managed the stakeholder expectations and requirements, and assisted Angliss in identifying the necessary additional funds required to bridge the gap for the minimum required scope.
The project timeline for delivering the schematic design was extremely tight to meet the funding requirement timelines. Johnstaff managed an effective stakeholder consultation process in parallel with weekly Angliss governance meetings to ensure timely sign off and approvals.
