John Grill Institute for Project Leadership
Shaping future projects and their outcomes
We shape future projects and their outcomes through world-leading executive education, breakthrough research into project leadership, and future-focused dialogue with industry, government, and communities.
We are a global leader in research and executive education on Major Project Leadership.
Founded through a generous donation by John Grill, we are building leadership capability and capacity to transform the performance of projects.
Our executive education
We are pleased to relaunch our flagship Executive Leadership in Major Projects program, which has advanced careers and transformed projects. We also offer customised courses for industry and government needs.
The aims of our ELMP program are to:
- Expand thinking by growing the strategic mindsets that bring clarity to complexity, guide delivery excellence, and promote execution agility.
- Master the art of relational leadership and learn how to mobilise collective action across teams, units, organisations, and ecosystems.
- Broaden and deepen connection with senior project practitioners across industry and government.
- Unlock progress and productivity in the projects.
We also offer bespoke education on themes such as
- Setting up project governance
- Using data-driven approaches to support decision-makers in conceiving complex projects
- Examining projects as a form of large-scale organising
- Helping achieve a better future by developing project leadership in emerging industries such as net zero.
We also deliver world-class executive education and support our growing network of alumni as they lead projects.
Please also keep an eye out for our events, where we seek to build capacity to better understand project leadership excellence, building on the knowledge bank generated since our start as an Institute.
As Director of Executive Education, Dr Bradley Hastings brings substantial experience in developing and running executive education programs that advance careers and organisations. Drawing from his decades of experience in industry and academia, Brad blends evidence-based leadership insights, pedagogical design that works, user-centred learning outcomes, and real-world practical experience to create transformative learning environments.
Our research
Project leadership is crucial in achieving positive outcomes. As projects grow in complexity, our research supports project leaders in setting up project governance.
To achieve our ambition to provide a 'go-to' place for advice on how to conceive, setup and execute projects, our research is focused on project leadership.
