At UGL, we are invested in fostering the next generation of leaders to ensure our project teams are equipped with the tools and knowledge needed to drive success. Recently our Brisbane team participated in the Commercial Fundamentals professional development course, an essential module for those looking to advance into project management or project-related leadership roles.
Participants in the course gained valuable insights into:
- the significance of commercial functions within projects
- understanding various contract models and the associated risks
- tools for effective risk management and change identification
- the importance of cash flow management, and
- best practices in cost management and supply chain operations
Daniel Seaton, Commercial Manager at UGL and the course's creator and presenter, says, "The Commercial Fundamentals course is designed to equip our future leaders with the fundamental knowledge required in project management roles."
The course helps to provide a roadmap for career growth and enhances their capability, equipping them to take on greater responsibilities and leadership roles. With 77% of our top 200 leaders having been promoted from within at UGL, this program reinforces our dedication to nurturing talent and providing pathways for professional advancement.
