Transformation Is Back in Australia

What Is Driving the Shift

Delayed programs now being restarted across banks, insurers, telcos and retailers
Two years of under investment creating pressure to modernise legacy systems
New regulatory change requiring structured programs with delivery governance
Renewed executive confidence as cost control stabilises balance sheets

Budgets are flowing again, and this time they are going into structured delivery.
Capex spending is rebounding after being frozen during the downturn.

What This Means for Talent

The demand is returning for program directors, project managers, PMO leaders, delivery managers and change professionals.

Firms are prioritising people who can run major programs with strong governance, reporting and financial control — not just product squads.

Project delivery capability is once again a competitive advantage.

Capex programs are being funded and launched at pace.
