Key Achievements:

Blake was the Team Leader at Victoria University, and he and his team were tasked with producing a project procurement plan for a proposed hybrid solar and wind energy farm in Queensland. As the team leader, he guided a group of five project management students according to the PMBOK project management approach. Blake facilitated twice-weekly meetings with his team to monitor their progress and address any issues that emerged. In addition, he prioritised the tasks that needed to be completed and distributed the work among the members of the team based on their skills. A stakeholder analysis, a procurement packaging strategy, an evaluation of suppliers, a sourcing strategy, a contract strategy, and a delivery approach all contributed to the team’s effective delivery of a procurement plan.
