The Strategic Project Implementation and Improvement (SPII) office is a catalyst for project management transformation within the University and the teams combined expertise provides a variety of support whether through delivering programs such as business improvement and capital project delivery; providing feasibility advice and support to initiate a project through the development of a business case; or developing and delivering project training and developing standard project templates.

Having a centralised Strategic Project Implementation and Improvement office negates the need to replicate support arrangements each time a project is initiated and helps the University manage change more efficiently. The SPII office:

• Provides for the centralised control and management of key projects that affect more than one area of the University (it helps bridge the 'silos' within the University and ensures that areas collaborate effectively)
• Allows operational managers to maintain their focus and not be distracted by the need to drive and manage change related projects
• Provides for organisation-wide standards and processes
• Provides senior management with important information on progress, costs and resources, assisting with key decision making
• Allows for lessons learned from one project to be adopted and applied to the next initiative
