About the Community

Our sole purpose is to connect Project & Procurement Professionals as key disciplines in the delivery of public and private products and services within Australian & NZ.

The Pro Forum Community is the community space that provides individuals, businesses and government departments/agencies to come together and share ideas and seek solutions to issues that continue to challenge us – such as why do projects continue to fail on time, budget and quality?

Our role as a community is the strength in our number, and there are a lot of us!
