Living Planit is a boutique training, assessment & consulting firm specialising in portfolio, program and project management. The company was formed in 2000 by Lesley Bentley following her involvement in the development and trial of the innovative Soft Systems Project Management Approach at the University of Technology, Sydney. Internationally recognised, this award-winning methodology tailors the application of project management skills and processes to the business environment, where the effective management of people, change and benefits is often essential for project success.

Drawing on this background and integrating cutting edge research and best practice, we have developed and delivered a variety of training programs for numerous commercial and public sector organisations. In 2005, we established the Project and Program Management Assessment Centre (PPMAC) with a view to offering assessment services to project management practitioners and project producing organisations, including knowledge/competency benchmarking tools and Portfolio Assessments for qualifications and professional certifications.

We are currently working with organisations across various industries including finance, defence, transport, environment, community service, health and management. Our services are now delivered in metropolitan and regional centers across Australia and we have recently expanded into New Zealand with the formation of Living Planit New Zealand Limited.

At Living Planit, we strive for the highest standard of quality in our training, assessment and consulting services. Our delivery agents are highly qualified ‘veterans’ in the field of project and program management and are qualified and experienced in training, coaching and competency based assessment.

With endorsements from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM), we continue to invest significant time and resources in remaining at the ‘cutting edge’ through our commitment to various national and international initiatives, such as our long standing involvement with the Global Alliance for Project Performance Standards (GAPPS). Lesley Bentley, the Managing Director of Living Planit, is the current National Vice President of the AIPM and a board member of GAPPS.

Our custom built training facility is located at 109 Pitt Street, Sydney, a two-minute walk from Wynyard Station. This facility offers a convenient and cost effective alternative for clients who prefer to hold training off-site.

The facility includes a training room that comfortably seats 12 participants and is complete with whiteboard and data projector. There are also two break-out rooms for team work; and a communal area for morning and afternoon tea.

Lunch for training participants can be catered at cost; or participants can purchase their meals at one of the many local food courts, restaurants and cafes, all within a few minutes walk of the training facility.

Our facilities are rented out at a packaged rate that includes all materials and amenities required by the client. For more information, or for a quote please call us on (02) 9233-3233.
