The Pro Forum Community
The Pro Forum Community is the only community for project and procurement professionals providing cross connections between these two vital disciplines!
Project and Procurement Professionals work within the similar frameworks of:
- Stakeholder engagement
- Risk Management
- Cost Benefit Analysis
- Contract & Tender Management
- Resource Management
It makes sense for people in these professions should work and learn together.
The specialist skills of both professions are increasing in demand and are highly transferable, especially at senior levels. Skills such as:
- Adaptability
- Critical thinking
- Business or organisational acumen
- Creativity
- Communication

Asset Sales commenced in 1987 with the Task Force on Asset Sales established in the then Department of Finance. In 1996 the function was transferred to the newly established Office of Asset Sales.
The Office had a number of name changes, firstly to the Office of Asset Sales and IT Outsourcing (OASITO) and lastly to the Office of Asset Sales and Commercial Support (OASACS). In December 2001 OASACS was abolished and the asset sales function transferred back to the Department of Finance and Administration.

Networking in an important function of The Pro Forum Community! Discussing and sharing ideas over breakfast or after work is as imperative as listening to an industry specialist in terms of professional development.
This is a key reason that we hold monthly events face to face when we can to allow members and non-members to connect. We may not work within each other’s disciplines on a daily basis however it does not mean its not important to us – and regular catch ups help us connect, learn and share.
The Pro Forum is here to help create opportunities to Connect, Learn & Share for Project & Procurement Professionals.
