I really enjoyed about the AfMA Swinburne
Business Leadership and Management course
was the diversity within the group. It put us in
an environment where we can learn and listen
to others and then hear each a bit about our
different experiences. So I say I found that really
beneficial.
D: Was there any other specific learnings
you got out of the course?
A: I suppose the other aspect that I got out
of the course was looking at the impact of
social media on business these days and the
different types of marketing to be aware of. So
considering what opportunities are out there so
to speak. I found that that was very refreshing.
generally current and definitely a reason for
others to do the course as well.
D: Is there a certain audience that you think
might especially benefit from doing the
course?
A: I think anyone who’s involved in looking after
assets, running projects or in general leadership

would benefit from the course. There’s an awful
lot of talk that come out of the course and
lots of discussions that facilitate teamwork.
There’s lots of different models you can use to
implement change within an organisation and
it’s through these models that you can ultimately
support your staff so it was great to learn more
about these.
D: Where do you see yourself going career
wise in the future? Is there a new avenue
you might be looking to go down?
A: I see myself being willing to not only
continue in general fleet business research
but also reviewing other businesses in a more
commercial sense looking more at profit and
loss and factors like this. As you know in
the space of local government there’s a lot
of opportunities that I think are constantly
changing. Continuous improvement in
businesses is becoming a far more relevant
topic these days and I certainly see that as
a new opportunity for myself to strategically
manage the business moving forward.
